Resources for Horse Care


These resources will help you take better care of your horse’s health and nutrition.

Veterinary Teaching Hospitals


When you’re talking about state-of-the-art vet care, nothing compares to veterinary teaching hospitals. These working hospitals are located within veterinary schools, and you can find them around the country. They’re the source of the latest in research on issues affecting equine care, and they employ specialists who are up-to-date on all the latest treatments for horses. You can rely on these hospitals for detailed information on just about any disease or condition affecting horses. Your veterinarian may refer you to one of these hospitals if you live within driving distance to one, or he or she may consult over the phone with a specialist at one of these facilities.
