We are a 4 doctor exclusively equine practice located 10min west of Stony Plain, Alberta. The practice was originally developed as a busy ambulatory practice that grew into a clinic with an extensive hospital setting. There is a large, heated arena for lameness exams and exercising horses year round, numerous stalls with cameras for monitoring, covered outdoor pens, round pen, and a complete lab with in-house capabilities to run blood work and fecal egg counts.
During breeding season, we have a full-time veterinarian that focuses exclusively on reproduction. We breed a large number of mares with fresh and frozen semen as well as perform embryo transfers.  Stallion services such as collections, shipping and freezing semen and phantom training are also provided. In addition, we offer foaling out services, including emergency dystocia and neonatal foal care.
Further to reproductive services we have a large sports medicine and lameness component to the practice. We have two portable digital radiographs, four digital ultrasounds, a shockwave, an endoscope and three power floats. Two of our veterinarians are also licensed in chiropractic and acupuncture. General equine medicine and preventative plus 24/7 emergency services consume the remainder of our busy caseload. Our patients range from the performance horse to the pleasure pony therefore our caseload is very diverse. Our internship provides an in-depth mentorship that prepares the intern with the skill set and confidence for general equine practice. We have a very collaborative, team-based work ethic and strive to provide a supportive teaching environment.
