Equine Vet

An equine vet is an important job which carries a lot of responsibility, as well as occasional long and unusual hours. They have to have many years of schooling and training. They have to have certification and have an excellent relationship with horses. Equine vets have to be able to remain calm and organised under pressure.

They are responsible for the overall health of animals in their charge, which include routine medical exams and procedures. A horse doctor works closely with trainers, barn managers, and handlers to ensure the horse is being fed properly, exercised, and cared for. An equine vet has to have formal education, undergraduate work, as well as a four year program at a veterinary medical school. They also have to have local licensing which varies, depending on where they are located before they can practice horse medicine.
