For 25 years, Gemma Hudson has trusted South Valley Equine with the horses she loves most.

From reproduction with Dr. Tricia Robinson to surgery with Dr. Howard, she's experienced firsthand what makes great veterinary care different: people who truly care, communicate, and show up when it matters most.

One late-night emergency with a struggling foal reminded her exactly why she keeps coming back.

"They're warm, caring, and they keep you updated. I would recommend coming here in a heartbeat."

Thank you, Gemma, for allowing us to be part of your journey for the last 25 years. We are grateful for your trust and honored to care for your horses and your growing program. ❤️

"The whole staff here is amazing. They feel like an extension of our family."

Thank you, Ron and Nikki, for your trust and friendship through the years. It means the world to us to be part of your team and to care for the horses you love. ❤️

"Excellent medicine and caring hearts."

Thank you, Ellen, for your trust, your friendship, and for allowing us to care for your horses over the years. ❤️

For nearly 40 years, Rachel Jones has trusted our team with the horses she loves most.

What stands out to her isn't just the medicine—it's the people.

From knowing each horse by name and history to showing up in the middle of the night when an emergency strikes, caring for both mare and foal through an extremely difficult delivery, these are the moments that matter most.

"We couldn't do what we do without them. They're part of our family."

Thank you, Rachel, for your trust and for allowing us to be part of your team for so many years. Stories like yours are why we do what we do. ❤️

Two respected practices. One extraordinary future.

Arizona Equine and South Valley Equine have officially joined forces, bringing together shared values, strong teams, and a commitment to exceptional equine care.

This partnership strengthens what already exists, with the same local veterinarians and staff you trust, now supported by a broader network of specialists, advanced resources, and collaborative care across regions.

For our Arizona horse community, this means expanded capabilities, more support, and continued dedication to keeping high-quality veterinary medicine close to home.

We’re proud of where we’ve been—and even more excited about where we’re going.
Welcome to the next chapter. 🐴

Dr. Tresha Robinson’s story starts on a Nebraska ranch—and today, she’s helping shape the future of equine care in Gilbert, AZ. 🐎

With a deep background in preventative medicine, reproduction, lameness, and integrative therapies like acupuncture and chiropractic, she brings both experience and heart to every case.

A true advocate for collaboration and care, and a vital part of our team.

“Being able to work alongside veterinarians who truly care about the whole horse changes everything.”

We’re grateful for professionals like Eddie Palacios who help bridge the gap between veterinary medicine and farrier care to give horses the best possible outcome. From diagnostics to therapeutic shoeing, it takes a team effort to keep these horses comfortable, sound, and performing at their best.

With 37 years of experience in equine surgery, lameness, and sports medicine, Dr. Rick Howard brings a level of knowledge and precision that only comes from decades in the field.

From growing up on a family farm to performing life-saving surgeries, his approach is simple: diagnose the problem, communicate clearly, and deliver solutions that make sense for both the horse and the owner.

We’re proud to have his expertise as part of the South Valley Equine team.

Big things ahead for Molly!

After being such a valued part of our team, Molly is officially heading to vet school and we couldn’t be more excited for her. Her last day with us will be April 24, and while we’ll definitely miss her around here, we’re proud to see her take this next step in her journey in equine medicine.

Molly, thank you for your hard work, your care for our horses, and the way you’ve shown up for this team. You’ve got a bright future ahead, and we can’t wait to see all you accomplish. 👏

Help us wish her luck in the comments! 💙
