Despite the record snowstorm rolling through, our veterinarians, technicians, barn staff and dispatch team braved the snow and ice to make sure there were no interruptions to service.

The snowfall may be over, but the temperature will continue to drop throughout the week. If an equine emergency arises, call 859-255-8741 for help from one of our on-call veterinarians, day or night.

Stay warm and safe, Kentucky!

Another successful Gastroscopy Clinic is in the books!

We scoped a total of 57 horses over two days and diagnosed more than 40 with ulcers. Boehringer Ingelheim was kind enough to donate GastroGard, which meant every horse could go home with a few tubes to get them started.

Thank you to our Medicine team who puts on this popular event, Spy Coast Farm for hosting and all of our participants!

Our team had a great time at the 2024 AAEVT-American Association of Equine Veterinary Technicians and Assistants annual conference and the AAEP 70th Annual Convention & Trade Show in Orlando!

Several of our doctors participated in panels as well as leading student labs and attending student career night. It was wonderful to see lots of alumni at our booth and have students stop by to test their hand at our diagnose-a-case activity. These events provide excellent learning and networking opportunities for the industry as a whole, and we look forward to seeing everyone next year in Denver!
