Congratulations to Dr. Craig Lesser and his wife Michelle on the opening of Stone Beck Equine Veterinary Podiatry Center!! Very exciting times for them on their new venture! KVMA is proud of our former Power of 10 Leadership graduate! How about that cool logo too!!

We’re excited to officially introduce Stone Beck Equine, a new equine veterinary podiatry clinic built around thoughtful medicine, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to the horse.

Our goal is simple: provide exceptional, practical veterinary care while working closely with your horse’s team to find the best solution for each individual case.

Based at Stone Beck Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, our practice offers both ambulatory and haul-in services, with a particular focus on equine podiatry, sports medicine, rehabilitation, and complex foot-related cases.

Stone Beck Equine represents a new chapter, but the philosophy behind it is one that has been developed over years of working alongside incredible horses, clients, veterinarians, farriers, and horsemen.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing our team, sharing more about the services we offer, highlighting interesting cases, and providing practical information we hope will be useful to the equine community.

We’re looking forward to what’s ahead and are grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way.
