Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital

We had the best experience there today they offered us coffee upon arrival. They unloaded the horses got them put in stalls got them food and water. Then we waited on Dr. Alexander the staff were very kind and friendly and they seemed to really care about my horses and we are from out of state . I will be bringing my 19year old gelding back for lameness in the future. They were quick and efficient and straight to the point and I am very grateful for them they were reasonably priced as well

Caring and professional vets and staff that work hard to find solutions for each individual. Dr Friend and team are wonderful vets who work so hard for each horse and client.

My precious late mare was diagnosed by UT with severe Asthma and Right sided heart failure shortly after being infected with Anaplasmosis from a tick bite. She was on a large dose of Lasix 2 x day. Only treating the symptom and not the cause. I could not get any local vets, who shied away from her case, to acknowledge that she had 90% of the symptoms of chronic Anaplasmosis, which also includes Pulmonary Hypertension tension and Right sided heart failure. My horse had zero health problems before the tick bite. I wanted to bring her to Rood Riddle to get a second opinion and if possible, add new treatment options. I began sending all her records 8/21/24 and they received all by 8/23/24. She doesn't trailer well so we needed to get a plan, including cooler weather to get her there. The o

Our tour at Rood & Riddle was a truly enlightening experience, and lucky for us, we were the only visitors that day. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and spent almost twice as long with us than the one hour advertised. We were able to observe three surgical procedures, including x-rays taken during the procedures. We toured the entire hospital complex, and interacted with staff in various departments, including farrier and genetics. The expanse of the facilities and services was clear and we took it all in. As a bonus, we met Dr. Rood! This is a must see tour. It's unique and the work done here is important. THANK YOU!

Dr. Kindra and the rest of the staff were amazing to work with! We traveled 5 hours to Rood and Riddle and I would make the drive again if necessary. My horse was unfortunately diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. Dr. Kindra was very informative and gave me her recommendations on the best care for him. They even had the surgery staff evaluate the scans and were very honest, recommending against the surgery in his case. Even after taking my horse home, Dr. Kindra would check in regularly and continued helping with medication changes when necessary. She even took the time to send a personalized sympathy card when I had informed her of his passing. It was very much appreciated. She cared just as much for my 20 year old backyard horse as she would have for an elite competition horse.
