About Whitedown Equine Vets
Our Story
Whitedown Equine believe in the "old world" values of traditional veterinary care combined with modern advances in medicine and equipment.
The vision for Whitedown Equine was born many years ago, when Dr George Worden wanted to continue to provide customised and tailored care for your horse and their circumstances. Believing in his convictions, and after a lot of hard work and determination, Whitedown Equine was born.
The ethos is simple; pragmatic, personalised, and portable service for you and your horse. Whitedown Equine can provide the combination of experience and flexibility you need, no matter the goal.
Whitedown Equine offers the standard of care your horse deserves, with the empathy, compassion and understanding you'd expect from a local independent practice. Call, text, or WhatsApp on 07724 586983, and we will do our best to answer any questions you have.

George's veterinary career became apparent early in his childhood where he was often found in his bedroom reciting the animal encyclopaedia cover-to-cover and could name every mammal found in Europe by the age of 10. A love of horses was introduced by his mother who had (and continues to have!) a string of happy hackers throughout his life, cemented by living in the New Forest. Having graduated from the University of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in 2017, George went on to complete a rigorous internship at Oakham Equine Hospital before heading to the three counties to start life as an 'adult' vet. Advancing slowly but surely through the South-East, George joined Bell Equine, followed by Cliffe Equine, before settling in deepest, darkest East Sussex and establishing Whitedown Equine. Outside of vetting (if there is such a thing), George enjoys an abundant family life with his partner Rhianna, alongside their two dogs and three horses, nestled in their Brightling oasis.
George has completed a number of postgraduate qualifications, including becoming an Advanced Practitioner in Equine Medicine and OV certified (Equine Export, Germinal Products Export).
