We encourage you to check out our practice and hopefully set up a visit. You will find our Externship is a high quality, hands-on experience where you will be included in a warm, supportive environment. Externships are not only a means of recruiting future interns, but are also a great opportunity to build a relationship with the next generation of horse loving veterinarians.
Our practice philosophy centers on creating a supportive, positive work environment with specific attention to work / life balance. We promote teamwork and encourage our veterinarians to pursue their specific areas of interest in equine medicine.
We provide veterinary students with exposure to high quality sport horse practice. We aim to provide a hands-on experience that cannot be achieved in the classroom.
Students have an opportunity to ride along with each veterinarian in the practice. We do not accept more than one student at a time so we can provide a meaningful experience.
