Mentoring opportunities are available as there are two experienced board certified equine surgeons at the practice. In addition, there are 3 other experienced ambulatory veterinarians. We have an established internship program with 2 interns this year.
Although there is a complete, well -appointed and staffed hospital, the practice is primarily an ambulatory practice. . Reproductive work is a prominent part of the practice.

We offer multiple regenerative therapies including IRAP, PRP and ProStride. Other therapeutics include shockwave and laser therapy.
Forty percent of our caseload is Standardbreds, both racehorses in training and breeding stock.

Clients are varied and include pet horse farms as well as large show horse barns, western performance barns, commercial breeding farms, local resorts and racetrack work.
