Hello everyone!

Due to the large influx of emergencies over the week, we will only be able to accommodate haul-in emergencies over the weekend (10/9-10/11). Our hospital in currently full, so if your horse requires hospitalization, we will have to refer you.

Spooky season is upon us and I think the horses sense it.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

You are all amazing! Due to the volume of texts and phone calls we had received about scheduling on Wednesday, the phone ended up freezing up and crashing. We are working diligently to get everyone in when we can, so please be patient. We are working on a first come, first serve basis.

All work, with a little play 🎨

Last week, our team had the chance to step away from the clinic for a little fun together. We headed down the road to Three Barn Acres, where we put our creative hats on and enjoyed an afternoon of pottery.

While we may not all be professional artists, we had a great time laughing, making memories, and letting our perfectionist sides shine just a little. We're grateful for opportunities like these to connect outside of work and enjoy each other's company!

This is such a great episode featuring Dr. Beeman, one of the cornerstones of Littleton Equine. His recent loss makes it that much more special. If you have some extra time, give it a listen. It talks about the changes in equine veterinary medicine and how far we’ve come. It’s amazing how much we have advanced in such a short amount of time.

Today the veterinary and horse world says goodbye to Dr. Marvin Beeman.

We had the honor of having him on our podcast a few years ago and wanted to reshare. His knowledge and reputation is unmatched in the industry after 65+ years as a practicing equine veterinarian. This episode is truly special, having the chance to talk to him about the advances in equine vet medicine over the last 6 decades and some of his favorite moments in his career.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues from Littleton Equine Medical Center and all that knew him.
