Position Full Description
Pioneer Equine Hospital is located in California’s central valley in Oakdale. We are nestled between the foothills of the Sierra Mountains and the valley’s vast agricultural landscape. Pioneer opened its doors in 1973 when two veterinarians had a vision to form the premier equine veterinary clinic in the area. Drs. Britton and Black built one of the most recognized equine hospitals in the country for equine surgery and lameness. From those deep roots, Pioneer has grown to become a full-service referral hospital. In addition, we provide full service primary care on both an outpatient and ambulatory basis.
We are a 100% equine practice – predominantly performance horse with emphasis on western, hunter/jumper and dressage. We also serve our local non-performance horse community. The hospital is a 22,000 square foot full-service facility on 20 acres in Oakdale, California. It has two spacious surgical suites with adjacent viewing rooms. There are four padded induction/recovery rooms which are utilized by surgery and MRI. There are seven large examination rooms including specialty rooms for standing surgery, radiology, ultrasound, and endoscopy. The covered lameness area is 140 x 300 feet with hard and soft ground for optimal evaluation. We have the only high field MRI in northern California and an Asto CT. There are two 20 stall barns which separate the surgical and lameness patients from the medical, emergency, and isolation cases. The on-site podiatry center offers highly skilled farriers who see outside appointments and work closely with the veterinarians in cases that need therapeutic or corrective shoeing. Our reproductive services include assisted reproductive technology, artificial insemination, sub-fertile mare management, foaling, full-service stallion management, breeding soundness evaluation, and collection of semen for shipping and freezing both domestically and internationally.
