Four Star Equine Veterinary Services

Four Star Equine Veterinary Services Providing superior mobile equine veterinary services to Blount, Knox, Loudon and portions of Monroe, Roane, McMinn, and Anderson counties.

Four Star Equine Veterinary Services was opened in North Florida in January 2015 by Dr. Jennifer Miller-Bailey. In 2018, the business was moved to Friendsville, TN. Dr. Miller-Bailey realized the need for increased access to mobile equine veterinary care, particularly with regards to lameness associated with foot ailments and therapeutic podiatry. Four Star Equine feels too often the foot isn’t gi

ven the attention it deserves. A high percentage of lameness in horses is attributed to disorders of or within the foot. The age-old adage “no foot, no horse” does hold true. We also feel strongly that addressing such issues should require a long-term view; instead of placing a band aid on the issue, let’s achieve resolution for the long term by minimizing cumulative damage in the short term. Four Star Equine takes a unique approach to lameness and disorders of the foot by working closely as a team with local Farriers in order to achieve the most success for the life of the horse. Dr. Miller-Bailey graduated in 2009 from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. After completing an internship in Equine Medicine & Surgery at the prestigious Peterson & Smith Equine Hospital in Ocala, FL, she then spent the next four and a half years practicing at an equine hospital in east TN. During that time, she pursued advanced training in both therapeutic podiatry and acupuncture. Dr. Miller-Bailey has a strong interest in ailments of the equine foot. She has received advanced training with the world-renowned Dr. Ric Redden at The International Equine Podiatry Center in Versailles, KY where she learned about the tendon theory and mechanics, and how to apply these principles to a variety of pathologic conditions of the equine foot. She is also a student of Dr. Sammy Pittman of Innovative Equine Podiatry and Veterinary Services in Collinsville, TX. Dr. Miller-Bailey received certification in Equine Traditional Chinese Medicine at the world-renowned Chi Institute in Reddick, FL. Acupuncture is a very useful adjunct to Western medicine and can be used to treat a long list of equine ailments. Four Star Equine Veterinary Services provides progressive and dedicated care to the horse owners in East Tennessee. Services include general and preventive medicine, veterinary podiatry, routine dentistry, nutrition consultation, lameness and pre-purchase exams, digital radiography and ultrasonography, and emergency care. Services are provided on an ambulatory basis only at this time. Let us help give your horse its best life, for its entire life!
