They Love Us

Dr. Kari was amazing! My horse Lulu was showing colic signs in the middle of the night. I called the hotline and they had us come down right away! Dr. Kari greeted us at the door before 6 AM and pretty much stayed by her side until she came home a few days later. They have the capacity to run all of the tests and be thorough in figuring out what’s going on. I couldn’t be more grateful for Dr. Kari and the team!!

The entire team at RFEMC is knowledgable and go above and beyond for our horses. I run a large boarding facility in Aspen and I am always confident with their care. They are available 24/7 for any emergency and are easy to contact on the phone to discuss treatments and problems. We rely on them to manage our vaccination programs, lameness treatments, and any other issues that arise. We are lucky to have this hospital in our small valley!
