Piedmont Equine Practice

We are so very grateful for Dr. Kylie and Dr Sara and the Piedmont Equine Team! They were very responsive, kind, attentive and supportive during some very difficult times when our donkeys were very sick and had to be put down. I would highly recommend them!!

Dr. Ahster and her assistant were very caring with my horse and checked her out thoroughly. Unfortunate, my horse was sick and had to be put down. I am very grateful for the job and the compassion these two ladies had. Thank you.🐴

My daughter and her horse Cricket compete in eventing. Her horse has had her share of injuries as would any high-level athlete. But one situation is important. After a day of cross country schooling, Cricket went lame on her left fetlock. Dr. Bowman of Piedmont equine showed up the next day and gave us a choice of an aggressive treatment plan or one non-aggressive (shots vs. oral antibiotics). After explaining the risks, I chose aggressive since we’ve done 8 previous joint injections without issue – coupled with the fact that my daughter was preparing for the American Eventing Championships 8 weeks later. Two days after the injection, it was clear that something was wrong. We rushed Cricket to Piedmont for analysis. The doctors there determined that she had developed an infection in her fetlock, needed two weeks of hospital care, and would be out for 2-3 months. As soon as my daughter did the math and the tears started, I nearly lost it. Everything that they had worked for was lost due to an injection. It wasn’t until a few days later that we both calmed down. The real reason for my 5 stars for Piedmont is what Dr Bowman did. Feeling terrible about the outcome of the situation, Dr. Bowman came out almost every other day to check on Cricket and due to his care, concern and expert analysis, Cricket was able to recover in 4 weeks, resume work, and got back to where she was prior to the injury with time to spare. My daughter and Cricket were able to compete at AECs and 1 month later, place 2nd at the USEA Area 2 Regionals. None of this would have been possible without the care and concern of Dr Davis and the staff at Piedmont Equine. With all the varied types of injuries that can happen to a horse, we will still call Dr. Bowman and Piedmont equine first whenever anything happens to my daughter’s pride and joy.

This review is for the new portion of this practice, The Small Animal Clinic at Piedmont Equine. This is the most wonderful veterinary clinic. They saved my cats life. Their staff went above and beyond to ensure he was well after his discharge. I cannot thank this clinic enough. Their thoroughness, wonderful care, attention to every detail was far superior to any vet clinic I have ever dealt with. Thanks to them my cat can enjoy his life for many years to come. It was a very complicated case involving surgery and weeks of care. Their prices are more than fair and I felt my animal received 5 star treatment. Thank you! Thank you!

I have had Dr Davis out for various vettings as well as to work on my mothers horses. He is always very knowledgeable and professional. He is a wonderful rider as well and I think that is helpful in seeing and analyzing the gaits. We most highly recommend the practice. They see a lot of horses and are up to date on current treatment strategies. Wonderful practice, with very helpful kind office and barn staff as well.
