What is an Equine Veterinarian?
Equine veterinary surgeons focus on the diagnosis and treatment of horses as well as routine daily care like vaccination and dentistry. They are a hugely important part of the veterinary support network, providing specialist support to horse owners.
Working either specifically with horses or in a mixed practice, working as an equine vet is a rewarding career choice that can include equine diagnostics, treatment and surgery, pre-purchase vettings, riding school health inspections and attendance at sporting events.
The work environment often involves traveling to clients’ stables or farms, fostering close relationships with horse owners, trainers, and breeders.
