    I have been bringing my horses here for expert care when needed for over a decade, they provide specialized and emergency veterinary care when a smaller practice cannot do so. I love that it is a veterinary college as well so bringing my horses here provides learning opportunities for future veterinarians. I have always experienced compassionate and caring staff at every visit.

    Had a great foaling experience here for my mare. They were kind enough to placate my neurotic need to know everything all the time and took great care of mom and baby. Super flexible and responsive and didn't break the bank (as much as I expected). If I ever buy another horse that is unknowingly pregnant, I will totally bring her here again for care.

    It had been years since I had needed emergency vet care, but I was still in the system and the receptionist who took my call was sympathetic to my problem and made arrangements for me to bring my horse as soon as I could get him to the clinic. My horse was taken right in and examined and the Doctor came out and gave me the plan of care right away. A big weight was lifted off my shoulders and treatment began. Thanks for making a stressful day less stressful.
