We're a busy, full-service equine practice offering ambulatory care, hospitalization, sports medicine, reproduction services, gastroscopy and endoscopy, pre-purchase exams, diagnostics, lameness evaluations, surgery, and emergency care.
This is a dynamic, hands-on role that blends top-notch horse handling skills with strong organizational know-how. As an Equine VeterinaryAssistant, you'll work side-by-side with our veterinarians both in the field and at the clinic-restraining and handling horses safely, preparing and administering medications, assisting with a variety of procedures, maintaining and preparing equipment, and keeping our mobile veterinary trucks stocked, clean, and ready to roll.
