Island Equine Clinic

The vets at Island Equine have saved my horse’s life not once, but twice. Their fast response time, thorough examinations, and decisive action made all the difference getting my horse to the nearest equine hospital quickly, where he was able to undergo the life-saving colic surgery he needed. The post-op care from Island Equine has been just as great. Their attentiveness, clear communication, and guidance through multiple complications has given me confidence during a very stressful time. I am incredibly grateful for the care and expertise of Dr. Chris, Dr. Danielle, and Dr. Katie.

I have had such great experiences with Dr Ernst. He has taken great care of my horse in her well visits. He helped me make a decision honestly and with information on whether to buy her which was a big deal because she is my first horse. She has been in perfect health since I got her and is above and beyond what I could have hoped for her. Whenever Dr Ernst is at the barn I like to hang around during his assessments and treatments and learn.

Great folks! Vets and office staff are all top notch! Thoughtful and compassionate care. We have had some serious emergencies recently with our senior draft horse and the entire staff pulled together for us like they were family. Such a strong core knowledge base really calmed me when we were in some serious situations and my big boy is all the better for it.

I have used Dr. Katie and Dr. Ernst for years, they are excellent! They have treated my horse for everything from colic to uveitis to ulcers to stitches and lameness evaluations. Unfortunately we have been a frequent flyer. They are always on time (unless the clinic notifies me they are tied up at an emergency) and always professional. I trust their judgement wholeheartedly!

Dr. Marsh took care of our mare when she had a farrier nail lodged in her hoof. His calm, professional demeanor put us at ease. He explained in detail the risks of the injury and his treatment plan. He even stayed with me to show how to soak her foot. I cannot thank him and Edisto Equine enough for handling this emergency so professionally.
