We are delighted to welcome Shotter & Byers Equine Veterinary Services to our Altano community! Located in the peaceful countryside of Ockley, Surrey (UK), the practice has a clear mission:"Healthy horses, professional care & excellent service." Every single member of the team lives by this philosophy and puts the health and well-being of every horse and pony at the center of their work. With their tireless commitment to first-class equine medicine, Shotter & Byers is the perfect addition to our Altano Group. Together, we share the same values: ensuring the best possible welfare for every horse we care for.

Founded in 1998 by Murray Shotter and Michael Byers, the practice is now highly regarded in the region. The dedicated and highly qualified team of ten veterinarians brings a wealth of expertise to the table—each with their own area of expertise, but all united by a passion for horses and their owners.

The range of services extends from regular dental check-ups and vaccinations to comprehensive lameness examinations, medical assessments, and much more. The practice is also particularly well known for its work in racing, polo, dressage, show jumping, and eventing, and proudly serves clients in Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, and the greater South London area.

Murray Shotter of Shotter & Byers Equine Veterinary Services emphasizes: "We are thrilled to be part of the Altano community. This partnership connects us to an international network of outstanding veterinary expertise and provides us with a team that is truly supportive and approachable. It's not just about access to world-class knowledge and resources—it also means being part of a collaborative community where help, advice, and a shared passion for horses are always just a conversation away."

We too are eagerly looking forward to this new chapter and to growing together with Shotter & Byers—combining our strengths for the benefit of the horses, their owners, and our dedicated teams.

Welcome to Altano, Shotter & Byers!
