Here for all of your equine needs
This page is under construction!
Thank you for trusting in us to provide care for your horses. We are so pleased you have chosen to join the House & Jackson family.
​
We at House & Jackson have a long history of caring for the animals of Essex. Founded in 1980 by married vets, Chris House and Jane Jackson, the practice has since grown to include Pet Clinics in both Billericay and Writtle, as well as the large Small Animal and Equine Hospital in Blackmore.
​
H & J is an accredited practice, awarded hospital status by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2016. We are fortunate enough to have a wealth of experience amongst both our veterinary and nursing teams, and offer training and development for student nurses and new vets.

Helping you budget for your horse's health care
Regular healthcare can help to keep your horse healthy, prevent diseases and suffering and just keep your horse performing optimally. Well-loved pet horses, top competitors and seniors could all benefit from signing up the the H&J Healthcare plan. Our bespoke plans are administered by our plan partners, Vetsure, who will be happy to talk you through the details and get you signed up, or click the link below to sign-up online.
Alternatively, you can visit our Equine Health Plan page on this website, where you will find all the information you need.
PLEASE NOTE: Equine Health Plans are not the same as Insurance - An EHP is there to help with preventative
healthcare, whilst insurance is for problems which occur. You can also speak to Vetsure about their Insurance

REPEAT MEDICATION and WRITTEN PRESCRIPTIONS
Repeat Medication
If you require a repeat medication you can request this either by calling us or completing the application form on our website. Please be aware that a vet must have prescribed the medication for your animal, or you may need a prescription check consultation for the request to be authorised.
Written Prescriptions
If you prefer to source your medication from elsewhere, we are able to supply a written prescription which can be presented to the pharmacy of your choice. Written Prescriptions can be applied for either by calling us or completing the application form on our website. Again, please be aware that a vet must have prescribed the medication for your animal, or you may need a consultation for the request to be authorised.
We can either supply a hard copy of the written prescription (which is required by law to be signed in ink by the prescribing Vet) or we can email the prescription to the pharmacy of your choice. We are not able to email the prescription to you directly as it will not be accepted. The charge for a written prescription is currently £27.20
Visiting Blackmore Hospital
Blackmore Hospital is just a 20 minute drive from Billericay and a similar distance from Chelmsford city centre, on the edge of Blackmore village and just off the A414. There are equine parking bays straight ahead as you pull into the property. Let our equine reception team know you have arrived so they can inform the equine clinical team, then you can either wait with your box or in our equine reception area. ​
