📢 Important Update from River Equine Veterinary Services: Enhancing Care with Haul-In Options 🚛💨

 Our mission has always been to provide compassionate, high-quality care to horses in Central Virginia. As the needs of our clients and the equine industry evolve, we are updating our care model to include "haul-in" appointments as efficient option for care.
Dr. Ellen Hillyer is excited to offer this service to enhance the care we provide, making it more effective and accessible for routine and urgent issues.

🌟 Why Choose Haul-In Over a Farm Call?
While we love visiting your horses on-site, hauling into our facility at 9241 Pamunkey River Farms Dr offers several distinct advantages for you and your equine partner:
  • Better Care, Lower Cost: Hauling in allows us to avoid a farm call fee, making it a more economical choice.
  • Optimal Environment: Your horse will be treated in a controlled, professional environment with optimal lighting and sturdy footing, which is essential for diagnosing lameness or treating wounds.
  • Immediate Access to Equipment: All our equipment—from diagnostic tools to our in-clinic pharmacy—is instantly available, meaning faster diagnostics and faster treatment.

🚑 Emergency Preparedness: Make Your Plan Now!
To avoid stress during a crisis (like colic or injury), we ask that all clients establish a transport plan in advance. Identify a friend or professional hauler, and practice loading your horse regularly so they are comfortable during emergencies.
