Flying Horse Veterinary Practice

Mission Statement

Mission Statement: At Flying Horse Veterinary Practice we aim to provide compassionate and comprehensive care through all stages of your horse's life by tailoring the level of care to meet the individual needs of both you and your horse. We believe in quality, 24/7 equine veterinary care and provide explanations and education to assist you in making the best decisions for the health of your horse.


At FHVP, we promise to:

A clock with the hands on the numbers 1 and 2

... be on time for your appointment.

Your time is important, and we will always respect that. If an emergency arises that will delay our arrival by even 15 minutes, we will notify you immediately.

Three different colored question marks on a white background

... answer your questions.

We schedule your appointments with plenty of time to address your concerns. You can also call or email with questions you remember as the vet is driving away.

A red first aid kit with a white cross on it

... be available for emergencies 24/7.

As cellular service can be spotty in some areas, if you do not receive a call back about an emergency within 15 minutes, please call again. We are standing by 24/7.

Three red hearts are lined up on a white background

... treat your horses like our own.

This means recommending the best treatment and prevention options available while avoiding unnecessary tests or treatments. We are looking for you and your horse.
