Signature Equine Hospital

A phrase like “Thank you” simply isn’t enough to convey our gratitude for the hundreds of hours, sleepless nights and holidays Dr. Helton Brito has spent with us here at Signature Equine Hospital. He is normally the first to greet you in the morning, usually at the coffee machine, with a smile. Helton is always quick with a joke, which is usually followed by his signature thumbs up. The hunt is on for a new clinic comedian!

If you have met Dr. Helton, you know just how fantastic he is. From sewing up lacerations, flushing joints, working up colics or even changing a bandage, Helton has been a steadfast asset to our practice for a year. Reliable, knowledgeable, and professional are just a few words someone would use to describe him.

It has been an honor to have you here and to watch you grow as a Veterinarian, colleague, and friend. It’s time for your next adventure, wherever it may take you! Foi um ano e tanto. Sentiremos saudades Dr. Helton! ✨

Well said! Thank you, Hailey Kinsel!

You can put in all the hours. You can have the sponsors. You can have the best support team cheering you on and helping you get there. You can have God on your team. You can have the best tack, supplements, feed, trailer and truck...

But if your horse isn't healthy, or if they're in pain, none of those things can cover it up. "You can't outtrain pain," as the trainers say. And as much as these horses give us, there's no reason not to make sure you have the best vets in the game on your horses' side so that you can keep them safe and healthy. I'm blessed to have Signature Equine Hospital in my corner. They know my horses, their team genuinely cares and they understand the needs of our very special and sometimes very spicy barrel horses.

Thank you Tomas Garcilazo for allowing us the absolute privilege of caring for “Hollywood”! Even though he is retiring, there is no doubt that his legacy as an incredible horse and performer will continue forever!🐴

🐴 Hollywood has made the call and gracefully bowed out of the spotlight, announcing officially his RETIREMENT today.

The news brings mixed emotions and it is a bittersweet moment that we knew was coming. After a check up visit at there’s unanimous agreement that he deserves it more than anyone else.

It is hard to think that he won’t be on the road with us and that fans won’t get to see him in the arena.

Hollywood’s impact in the entertainment/rodeo industry is undeniable, and we’re forever grateful for the magical moments he shared with all of us.

Happy retirement to our golden boy super star ✨🥂🐴❤️🥹

Incredible athletes, both human and horse! We look forward to cheering you on! 🐴🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

X couldn’t lope last week! has had near record soundness for 9 years on the road and accolades from close to a million dollars at the rodeos alone to The Lone Star Shootout .tr average to name a few. Last practice before heading the the Arizona ropings and the NFR something was bad wrong. He couldn’t lope a circle let alone run a steer. I have other good horses but what makes this horse so special (captured by ) is how far down the arena I am at .08 while one of the fastest horses in ProRodeo is only 1/2 that far and makes up the difference. I don’t get to call for the steer so X has to be ready for an indefinite amount of time then BLAST. Quick diagnoses and work from Dr. Charlie at and treatment by Charity at and I headed west with only hope and trust in the professionals. I got to run only a couple steers before the rodeo and he was back! So thankful for all the folks that keep us doing what we do!
