Full-Service Equine Care in Central Texas

From routine preventative care to complex medical cases, Vaquero Equine Hospital delivers full-service veterinary support tailored specifically to horses. Our services include:

Preventative Care: Keeping your horse healthy starts with regular wellness exams, vaccinations, deworming schedules, and dental checkups. We create customized health plans based on age, workload, and risk factors to help prevent illness and catch issues early.

Lameness Evaluation & Treatment: Lameness can seriously impact your horse’s comfort and performance. Our team uses physical exams, flexion tests, nerve blocks, and digital imaging to diagnose the source of lameness, followed by targeted treatments such as joint injections, corrective shoeing recommendations, or rehabilitation guidance.

Dental Services: Proper dental care is essential for your horse's ability to eat, perform, and live comfortably. We provide routine dental floats, tooth extractions, and oral exams to manage everything from sharp points to severe dental abnormalities.

Reproductive Services: Whether you're breeding for the first time or managing a broodmare program, our team offers pregnancy checks, reproductive evaluations, and foal health exams to support successful breeding outcomes.

Emergency Care: Equine emergencies can happen at any time. That’s why Vaquero Equine Hospital offers 24/7 emergency services, both in-hospital and on the road. From colic cases to lacerations or sudden lameness, we’re just a call away when time matters most.

Surgical Services: We perform select soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries in-house, including laceration repairs, mass removals, and minor procedures under standing sedation or general anesthesia. Our surgical suite is equipped for safety and efficiency.

Mobile Veterinary Services

For added convenience, we offer mobile veterinary services across Waco and surrounding areas including McLennan, Bosque, Limestone, and Falls counties. Whether you're managing a large stable or have just one horse on your property, we bring expert care directly to your barn with a fully equipped mobile unit.
