- Dental CareRoutine dental care is critical to your horse’s well being, as well as the relationship and communication between horse and rider. Regular dental work and exams detect abnormalities in the mouth before they become larger problems, and our advanced dental techniques and equipment reduce procedural time and minimize trauma to the horse, making it an easier experience for everyone. By reducing pain and discomfort associated with dental issues, we can help you and your horse to reach your goals whatever they may be.

- Veterinary OphthalmologyAs a continuous learner, I am constantly seeking new ways to better serve my patients and clients. I routinely attend continuing education seminars to expand my knowledge base while also sharing that knowledge with clients in the form of hands-on client education seminars. In addition to equine chiropractic care, my veterinary interests also lie in ophthalmology, endocrine diseases, nutrition, rehabilitation, and lameness. I strive to provide a whole-horse approach to veterinary medicine, and I look forward to serving both you and your horse in the future!
- Behavioral CounselingChiropractic manipulation has been used for decades in horses as a diagnostic tool and treatment option to optimize health, improve quality of life, and increase performance. Chiropractic adjustments function to reduce pain by restoring a normal range of motion to the spine as well as unencumbering the nervous system to restore its optimal function. Abnormal posture, poll stiffness, resistance to saddling, behavior changes, lameness, difficulty with specific leads, and strong one-sided tendencies can all be indications that your horse could benefit from a chiropractic adjustment.
- Comprehensive ExaminationOne of the most important exams that you can have a veterinarian perform is the pre-purchase examination. Once you have picked out that potential new addition to your herd, call us to arrange a pre-purchase exam. The pre-purchase exam includes a full physical, a neurologic exam, and a soundness exam to make sure that you enter in any potential purchase armed with the most information possible.
- Parasites Treatment and ControlIt is said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and it’s true that a good preventative medicine program is vital to the overall, long-term health of our equine friends. The basics of a successful preventative care program include twice-yearly vaccinations, routine deworming in conjunction with fecal egg counts, and regular dentistry.

- Equine VetReturning to Wyoming, I obtained a second Bachelors in pre-veterinary studies and then completed a Masters in Animal Science with an emphasis in nutrition. The next step was veterinary school at Washington State University (Pullman). By the end of my first semester, I knew I wanted to be an equine veterinarian. Unfortunately, at the beginning of my fourth year of veterinary school, my mother was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease). My plan to become an equine veterinarian took a backseat so I could move home to be with my mother. After my mother passed I returned to the idea of being an equine-only veterinarian. Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington, Kentucky had an opening for an ambulatory veterinary internship so I traded mixed animal practice and the mountains of Wyoming for an equine-only career in the bluegrass. During my time as an associate with Hagyard, I developed a deeper interest in equine dentistry and sports horse medicine. Being surrounded by green grass and horses was amazing, but eventually the call of the west became too great and I returned back to the Rockies. Prior to joining Mobile Veterinary Services, I spent two years in Montana working both as an ambulatory and in-clinic general practitioner.
