We offer a student hands on experience in a slower paced, small town environment at Southern Indiana Equine veterinary clinic and farm. This is a tremendous opportunity for experience with equine reproduction including foaling, breeding, semen evaluation, and live cover experience with multiple breeds and performance level horses. On the equine side, we have a strong equine dental practice, performance horse maintenance, and a lot of preventative medicine and care. We offer the ability for digital imaging, ultrasound, and equine endoscopy.
We offer a hands-on opportunity for a student(s) to assist with foaling, as we routinely foal out between 55 to 75 mares a year.
We also have a full-time small animal clinic with many routine clients, surgeries, and in-house blood work and lab experience.
This is a small town, country atmosphere clinic with a wide variety of clientele. In our equine and small animal clinic, we see many routine clients, surgeries, and daily in-house blood and lab work. The clinic is a part of a working farm and is a great atmosphere to do a lot of hands on learning with equine and small animal clients.
Night watch foaling student would be 5 nights a week, hours varying at this time. Student would perform daily foaling and daily mare/foal report to daytime vet techs and on call veterinarian. Night watch would be involved in the morning repro rounds for onsite mares and foals.
Students observing during the daytime hours, on the equine side, would get a lot of hands on repro experience during the peak breeding and foaling season of January to May. Breeding season experience continues until July 1st.
Small animal clinic hours are daily hours of operation Monday through Friday.
