Hello everyone, I was chatting with joker this morning and he want to be sure to remind you that it's a beautiful day and all of those horses out there are not going to ride themselves! We hope that you all have a safe and beautiful ride this weekend. If something happens, know that we are here for you all weekend. We can sew them up, rehydrate them and treat the soreness. Of course, I'm talking about the horses. You humans are on your own! Have a great ride!

Joker says good morning! He is a wise... donkey. With the significant weather changes over the next few days there will be a large amount of horses with digestive upset. If your horse is showing signs of colic don't wait. Give us a call. The vast majority of these colics when treated quickly never mature into a life threatening or surgical colic. Our Vets are highly trained to diagnose and treat these colics to keep our friends happy and healthy. We are available for all of your afterhours needs in and around the Louisville area. 502-377-3327

It's that time of year! The mares are getting round and babies are on their way. This is a common time for mares to get colicky. If your mare is not acting right don't wait. When she has her baby let us know. Remember the 123 rule: Stands at one hour, nurses at two hours, and passes placenta at three hours. If they miss any of these makers give us a call no matter what time it is. Have one of our emergency vets check them out and make sure all is well. When you have your new bundle of joy send us some pics! Everybody loves baby horse pictures!

Have you been waiting longer than usual for an open appointment with your veterinarian or been unable to access after-hours services for your horse? The shortage of equine veterinarians in the U.S. is likely the cause. Many veterinary practices have too few horse doctors to service all their clients.

Why? Only about 6% of new veterinary graduates annually enter equine practice. After five years, 50% of these young veterinarians leave for small animal practice or quit veterinary medicine altogether. The primary reasons are the personal demands of the profession and equine practice’s lower starting salaries. Many new veterinarians begin their career with more than $200,000 in student loan debt, making an equine position with lower compensation often unthinkable. When financial concerns are combined with the always present demands of emergency coverage, many equine veterinarians choose to leave for a healthier way of life.

The good news is that the AAEP along with private veterinary practices and veterinary schools are addressing the pain points which have led to the current crisis. But the solution is complex and will require the support and collaboration of every person in the equine industry — including horse owners. As we work to improve the profession for current and future veterinarians, you have a huge role to play in the much-needed transformation of equine practice. Horse doctors look forward to working together with you for the good of the horse and the sustainability of veterinary care!

Merry Christmas to all! We are so grateful for good coworkers, good clients, and good patients!

We are here to serve you and your horses when your regular veterinarian may not be available. We have a staff of highly trained equine veterinarians who are just a phone call away all night and on weekends.

We currently provide on-the-farm emergency services in Jefferson, Oldham, and Shelby counties in Kentucky, and in Harrison, Floyd, and parts of Clark counties in Indiana. We do not have a hospital or a haul-in clinic. Should your horse require hospitalization, we will refer you to a specialty clinic that can best serve your needs.

​Our practice is designed to serve patients with emergency conditions and urgent matters that need to be addressed outside of regular business hours. Routine and elective care will be provided by your primary veterinarian.
