Rutherford Equine Mobile Services Practice History

Rutherford Large Animal Services was started back in 1993 by Dr. Paul Hinkle.
(13)

Dr. Rachel Butterworth-Tice joined the practice in November of 2007 when Dr. Hinkle purchased Cox Animal Hospital from Dr. Lanny Walker and took over a majority of the large animal work. In October of 2009, Dr. Butterworth-Tice purchased Rutherford Large Animal Services from Dr. Hinkle and continues to live up to the promise of professional, quality and personal veterinary care to farm animals tha

t Rutherford Large Animal Services clients have come to expect. Rachel Butterworth-Tice, DVM

Dr. Rachel Butterworth-Tice grew up on a small horse farm in central Maryland, where her mother taught her to ride English style as well as a deep love and respect for animals. She studied animal science at Virginia Tech and proceeded to the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine on the Virginia Tech campus. She graduated from veterinary school in 2003 and took her first job in Maryland at an ambulatory equine practice. She worked there for three years before moving to North Carolina to take a position with Rutherford Large Animal Services. In 2009 she bought the practice and is now the sole owner of Rutherford Large Animal Mobile Services, PPLC. She currently lives on a small farm in Rutherford county with her husband Matthew, son Gregory, three horses, five cats, two dogs and a flock of chickens. Bachelor of Science - Animal Science

We spent Wednesday at Lollybrook Farm supporting Dr Bs passion for her breeding program. Wrenn was perfect as always and our ‘Lana Del Bay’ was accepted into the Hanoverian registry. We are so excited for this girls future! 💫

Our mobile truck is attending to appointments and emergencies as best as possible and Katelyn is stationed with wifi to address needs and relay information to Dr. B.

We appreciate you all. ❤️

Life lately… ✨

We survived breeding season (barely), we finally decided to let Rachel go on a vacation earlier in July, and we finally got a filly.

May 31st, our beloved Wrenn, gave us a spicy little girl who is now formally known as ‘Lana Del Bay’.

PS - we will start doing better about social media.

Sincerely,

Katelyn who has been slack on social media.

We have some exciting news!

Moving forward we are now Rutherford Equine Mobile Services PLLC.

With that comes a few changes within the practice…. We are no longer accepting new clients unless they are equines. We will still provide the utmost care to our current non equine clients.

Dr. Rachel would like to focus on her passion of horses including all aspects of reproduction, preventive and wellness care along with chiropractic and accupuncture.

Thank you for all your support throughout years and moving forward.

Talk about ending the year with a bang…

two enucleations in one week. 👀

These surgeries were performed to increase quality of life due to previous injuries/infections.

Both patients can return to a normal life including work after a brief recovery period.
