Description:

Blue Ridge Equine Clinic is located on the outskirts of Charlottesville in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Charlottesville is a great small city with all the benefits of a college town. Home to the University of Virginia, there is a vibrant and eclectic community with lots of opportunities for entertainment and interaction. There are plenty of great restaurants and music venues nearby as well as Shenandoah National park for hiking and camping. Wine, beer, and spirits are all produced locally and have received national recognition for their quality. Charlottesville has a well-established horse community with beautiful farms dotting the countryside in the surrounding counties making it an ideal place for anyone with equestrian interests to settle down. All these things combine to provide the perfect environment for anyone who loves the outdoors, the arts, great food or just being part of a connected community.

We take great pride in offering the highest quality medicine and a wide range of services to a very diverse clientele. Blue Ridge Equine is well-equipped to deliver excellent service with multiple digital radiography and ultrasound systems, shockwave machines, nuclear medicine, recumbent MRI, biological therapies (PRP, IRAP, Pro-Stride, stem cell therapy), 1-meter and 3-meter video endoscopy, diode laser, laparoscopy, and on-site lab services. We have a 15-stall main barn and a 4-stall isolation barn. We utilize HVMS practice management software to help us communicate and schedule as efficiently as possible.
