If I could give 0 stars I would. Took my horse here, spent $5,300 on misdiagnoses and an irate phone call from Dr. Anderson because I was getting a second opinion on my horse. Turns out her sick sheep gave my horse strep ovis. A year later, we are racking up lawyer fees to get our justice. The horse passed away.

I can not say enough good things about this clinic and team. They are knowledgeable, very responsive and above all care for not just the horse but the owner. When I lost my horse to colic both Dr. Gieche and Dr. Cavalcanti text me with their condolences. Their words helped me through a difficult time. They also sent a card in the mail that they both wrote a heartfelt message in. When I decided to adopt another horse I didn't hesitate to make an appointment with Rocky Mountain Equine for a health check. Dr. Gieche's health check visit was very thorough and she took her time with both the horse and myself. At the end she expressed her happiness for us both. I love this clinic!

After dropping my wife off at the airport for a business trip, I returned to the ranch to find Koru, our 18-year-old Tennessee Walker down in the field with a case of sand colic. My wife and I are new to Larkspur and so hadn’t yet established a vet and I was in a panic. Dr. Andersen immediately made time to see us and treated Koru. Being new to horses, she walked me through the treatment, answered all my questions and coached me through what to do next and the warning signs to be on the lookout for that night and the subsequent days that followed. Before returning home, she gave me her cell phone number and said to call her if anything happened that night, no matter the time. She then followed up with a call the next morning to check in on Koru. I can’t say enough about the excellent treatment Koru got and I am very thankful we found Dr. Andersen.

Drs Shiloh and Lindsey are second to none! Extremely responsive and knowledgeable. We like that they are current on treatment protocols. They are both extremely clear in their communication and timely in their responses. We trust them with the care of our 4 horses.
