We are SO excited to finally share our big news and welcome Dr. Angela Nickel to White Pine Equine as an associate veterinarian!

Dr. Angela Nickel earned her Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Growing up in Michigan, Angela was a horse-crazy girl who always knew she wanted to become a veterinarian. She pursued her undergraduate education while serving in the United States Marine Corps and later working as an equine veterinary assistant. Through years of hard work and dedication, she achieved her dream of becoming a veterinarian.

She loves the variety that equine ambulatory offers and especially enjoys cases that involve ultrasonography. Angela is excited to meet clients and care for their horses throughout the Treasure Valley.

Angela has quickly come to love beautiful Idaho with all the mountain biking, hiking, paddle boarding, and riding adventures it has to offer.

The addition of Dr. Nickel to the team will allow us to better serve our clients and patients throughout the Treasure Valley, and we are excited to have her as part of the White Pine Equine family. Please help us give her a warm welcome and don’t hesitate to introduce yourself when you see her around!

Let’s talk about the Veterinary Client-Patient Relationship (VCPR).

A VCPR is established when your horse is examined by a veterinarian, and it remains valid for 12 months. This relationship allows your vet to provide medical advice, prescribe medications, and most importantly, be there when you need them most.

Right now, there is a nationwide shortage of equine veterinarians, and it’s something we’ll be navigating for the foreseeable future. Because of this, many practices have had to set firm guidelines around urgent and emergency care.

In most cases, this means we cannot see emergencies without an active VCPR. And being an “active client” often means more than a once-a-year visit—it includes staying current on exams, dentistry, and vaccinations.

Why this matters right now:

Spring and summer bring a surge in emergencies.
Our schedule is currently booked over 2 weeks out, with limited space reserved for urgent cases.Those urgent slots are prioritized for active clients, which can unfortunately leave others without access to timely care—especially after hours.

What we wish every horse owner knew:
1. Establish care before there’s a problem
2. Ask what’s required to qualify for emergency services
3. Confirm whether your vet offers after-hours/emergency farm calls if that is important for you
4. Plan ahead—appointments fill quickly, especially in the spring/summer
5. Have a back up plan with a trailer in the event hauling to referral is necessary
6. Be patient with your veterinarian and understand we are answering phones, running labs, billing, scheduling… and being a doctor!

We are incredibly grateful for our amazing clients.
We want to be there for you in those urgent moments and get to your horse a s quickly as possible. Establish care now so we can be ready when you need us most!
