WHY WE LOVE HORSES & APPRECIATE OUR VETERINARIANS "I can call on Christmas Day and someone will take care of my horse. It's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's inspirational." |
DR. LESLIE SCHUR
“To become an equine veterinarian was always my dream. I enjoy looking at animals that can’t talk to me with their voice but they can talk to me through their body. Our job makes a difference in peoples’ lives, and horses are such a huge part of our lives and passions. It’s an incredibly rewarding and important job.” |
