🩻🔨 We believe that by relying on digital radiographs the veterinarian and farrier team can eliminate the guesswork in achieving soundness in your horse. If you travel to a new distination, chances are you will rely on your phone's GPS to assist in getting you where you need to go. WHY? Because no one enjoys being lost, wasting time, making a mistake and having to start over. Having clear directions makes any journey easier.

Routine radiographs of your horse's feet gives your farrier a clear direction of where your horse's foot care needs to go.

Yes that is why we say we always celebrate the small wins….

Being a veterinarian is hard. This was me surviving my worst day in vet med, and there is no explanation needed, it’s just a hard career❤️‍🩹
I get too many dms a week saying my job looks glamorous and so rewarding. Yes, there are so many rewarding moments in veterinary medicine, but there are too many overwhelming and heart breaking ones too. That’s why we usually post about the good ones, because if we focused on moments like this one, too many vets would be leaving this career.

Real heroes don’t wear capes, they wear stethoscopes around their necks, dog hair on their clothes and probably cow s**t on their sleeves. They are tough as nails and deserve way more credit than what is being given to them. Please be kind to your veterinarian.
