Equine Medicine & Surgery
Turtle, a champion quarter horse, came to
WSU for treatment after she broke her hind leg
during a run. After two successful surgeries
performed by equine orthopedic specialist
Dr. Bob Schneider, Turtle has gone on to win
barrel race competitions.
The Equine Group at Washington State University’s College of
Veterinary Medicine is a team of professionals devoted to
providing exceptional veterinary care for horses in the Pacific
Northwest.
With a history of significant contribution to horses and horse
owners spanning nearly the entire life of the college program,
the Equine Group has become particularly well recognized during
the past 20 years for advances in lameness diagnosis, techniques
for surgical intervention, assessment of neurologic conditions
and understanding of infectious diseases.
The group’s combined efforts in clinical service, teaching, and
research have made them national and international leaders in
equine medicine and surgery.
