Hagyard Equine Medical Institute
Lexington, Kentucky
General Info
The veterinary services at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington deliver animal care that aligns with the sequential sensory processing of animals through individual sounds, smells, and motions. Families throughout Kentucky encounter a journey rooted in awareness rather than results. The first interactions between individuals typically occur through nonverbal communication methods. Before engaging in any physical examination the team deciphers tail position along with spatial hesitation and micro-responses. The adjustable lighting and scent levels in each room provide a way to prevent startle reflexes from being triggered. The pet's inherent schedule dictates appointment timings. A number of practitioners initiate their assessments with orthopedic evaluations while others start with basic observational scans based on the emergence of tension patterns. The Hagyard Equine Medical Institute delivers cross-species support for diagnostic procedures alongside laboratory services and interventions for illnesses while providing orthopedic assistance and dermatological treatments as well as oral healthcare. Examinations might bypass steps or change their sequence when indicators such as lip licking, paw withdrawal, or gaze shifting appear. Experts evaluate pain indicators through body posture and breathing patterns instead of vocalization which proves essential for assessing stoic breeds and prey-species animals. Re-acclimation processes receive encouragement following treatment completion. Families receive briefings regarding lingering behavioral responses and methods to identify secondary stress signs while determining when decompression needs take precedence over immediate activities. Home care plans focus on the pet's sensory threshold instead of solely physical recovery benchmarks. The veterinary services provided by Hagyard Equine Medical Institute deliver a uniquely conversational care approach that resonates with Kentucky households as it attentively interprets animal signals of comfort, confusion, and calm.

Interesting doesn't begin to describe this tour! Sarah, our guide, was so nice and knowledgeable. You can tell how much she and the entire staff Cate about their patients. No surgery going on when I was there but plenty to see, and Sarah did an excellent job explaining what happens. I learned about quarantine, surgery, the medical side, and was surprised to learn there is even a NICU! If you want to round out your knowledge of horse country you must see Hagyard - I learned so much!

My family and I booked this tour during the Horse Country meet your neighbors event. This was such a great tour and facility. Jamie and Sara were out guides this day. They have a little conference room set up with pictures of history of those that have worked there and medical vices they have been over the years. We toured their surgery center where we were able to watch them perform on a colicky horse that became an emergent situation. The horses intestine when stretched out is the length of a football field. We also toured the medicine center. This is where they take care of orthopedic medical necessities and mare and goals and NICU for the babies. Our guides were friendly and nice and interacted with the kids to keep them engaged. This was so informative and a great educational visit for kids as well as adults!

I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful this hospital is! The faculty is top notch, but what makes it the best is the staff - EVERYONE is wonderful and truly cares about your animal. My horse had colic surgery in the late night hours on a holiday weekend and it was as pleasant as something like that can be. I recommend them to everyone! I've also used the podiatrists and they are also fantastic. Lucky to have this option so close (I am in Cincinnati)

We had a dying horse on our hands, on a Friday evening. Once our local vets realized that there was nothing more they could do, Hagyard was consulted and we left for Lexington, KY. Pulling in at midnight, a tired staff met us. The staff assessed the horse and surgery was the only option for him to live. After the surgery, we went to a hotel to sleep. We returned at 6am, to find the staff recovering the horse and moving to another surgery. Being in the healthcare field and having traveled internationally for work myself, the staff's professionalism, care and dedication were comparable to the top human healthcare universities. Seeing the women healthcare professionals there that morning, made an impact on our high school aged daughter and her sense of value. They provide excellent care and their unrelenting effort for horses is obvious. Thanks for being so awesome!

First Class Operation! My wife and I recently had the opportunity to tour the Hagyard Equine Medical Facility, what a show place. We were able to view a leg surgery up close and personal and speak to the Veterinarian as he performed the surgery. Take the time and tour this facility, it's an eye opener to modern equine medicine. Thank you HAGYARD for allowing us the tour your facility.

What a wonderful facility with such a caring staff! As we head home after my horse's knee surgery I am so grateful we were able to have it done here. The staff welcomed us and kept us informed from beginning to end. We were permitted to be with her during x rays, at which time we met Dr. Rodgerson. He showed us the films, went over possible senerios, and was honest about her racing future depending on the surgical outcome, which we appreciated. After surgery we were allowed to see her on video in her recovery stall then got to go in after she was up. We got very thorough post care instructions, all her medications from the on site pharmacy and a great send off. A huge thanks to the entire staff for taking excellent care with my girl. Hopefully, she'll be up to racing again before the end of the quarter horse racing season at Indiana Grand. If not, look out Hialeah!

I watched surgery being performed on a horses leg via a monitor!! I was amazed and as an animal lover and owning 3 horses of my own, I wanted to apply for a nursing position as I had performed side by side with other drs. What better way of being a nurse combining it with love of horses!! Unfortunately my husband and I separated & my dream did not come to fruition. I did the next best thing, I moved to Montana. But not having that opportunity will haunt me til the end of time!

Your back yard horse will get the same thoughtful, research-based, thorough and complete care that a million dollar racehorse gets from the vets at Hagyard. They've even phoned me back when debating whether I should attempt to bring an elderly gelding down for treatment, offering suggestions I could do at home to make him more comfortable. Cutting edge research by people committed to doing the best they possibly can for your horse.
