It takes a village….

As veterinarians we are only a spoke in the wheel to complement the entire team required for a horse to perform at its highest level. Good communication across the team brings the care to the highest level as well.

Interesting conversation given the fact that we have stopped wrapping our personal horses for regular works.

...how often do you seek answers on Google or on social media?

In all seriousness, we're not saying that all Internet advice is bad. You can and should use the online resources available to your advantage—like to find good tips for basic training issues or to learn more about specific diseases. But this is your reminder that there are MANY reasons to start with your own veterinarian when you're seeking answers about your horse's health.

An Internet consultation might sound like the cheapest option at first but it cannot replace the physical exam performed by a trained and experienced veterinarian, and in the end treatment without a proper diagnoses could prove more costly and time consuming.

Your horse doctor invested a lot of time and resources in their training to be able to provide the highest standard of care to their patients—trust them to care for your horse as much as you do!

To become a Diplomate in the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) and earn the right to be called a specialist in surgery you must go through a rigorous credentialing process.
This process includes completing a one year internship after graduation from veterinary school, completing an ACVS registered training program (3 years), submitting a peer reviewed article that is published in the academic/scientific literature and then passing a series of surgical competency exams.

Some of the greatest things in my life are because of the horse. I have learned life lessons, created a professional career, developed a passion, and met life long friends. My hope is to share those same experiences with others and to allow them to share them with their family. What do you celebrate?

National Day of the Horse.
