WHY CHOOSE US?

Super Thorough
They came out to do a pre purchase exam on my horse and did great! They told me about everything they saw on the horse. Did a great job of handling him (even though he was a bit pushy) and overall I am so thankful for them!
Paige Lasley

Extraordinarily Thoughtful
Dr. Kirk and Dr. Lauren saved my pregnant mare from Potomac Horse Fever. Their care was extraordinarily thoughtful. I appreciated their holistic approach and direct communication. Never was I left out of discussions or decisions. They are serious about equine health and I am very happy that they entered into me and my horse's lives.
