Preventative care, lameness exams, dentistry, reproductive work, and emergency cases
Farm and barn calls where mud, dust, and creative restraint are part of the charm
Client education for owners who are deeply invested in their animals
Case discussions and mentorship with experienced mixed‑animal veterinarians
A realistic look at balancing hospital medicine, field work, and equine care
