Client testimonials
In their words.
Riders, trainers, and barn owners share what working with our team has meant for their horses.
Dr. Heather Farmer has been our “house doctor” for the horses at Knoll Dressage for about seven years. She is reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate and always on track with the latest developments in her field. Whenever there is a need, Dr. Farmer makes herself available and our horses have always fared well in her care. We feel lucky to have Heather Farmer on our team!
Drs. Farmer and Sullivan have been with us for three years, since our pre-purchase exam over three years ago. I love that EPVP is a one-stop-shop for all of our vet/chiro/alternative medicine needs, and both Dr. Farmer and Dr. Sullivan are always happy to listen and answer questions to help me help my horse feel his best. We love this practice!
I began working with Dr. Heather Farmer about 9 years ago after she moved to the Orlando Area. I have a hunter Jumper barn in east orange county where we attend Greater Orlando Hunter Jumper shows, Horse Shows in the Park, A shows, Hits, WEF, etc. I own and board ponies and horses of all ages and sizes.
Heather’s first visits were not just routine shots and coggins, etc. I wanted a fresh pair of eyes involving sports medicine for my athletes. She is excellent at diagnosis and treatment from coffin joints, navicular bursas, chiropractic, to the ankles, hocks, stifle, and SI joints. I have never had a joint infection and her eye is incredible as to diagnosis. Also, if she is puzzled she doesn’t hesitate to ask fellow veterinarians or send to a clinic for a second pair of eyes.
We are fortunate to not have too many lacerations but Dr. Farmer is pretty handy with sewing and fixing or freezing wounds. We did have a spider bite that I thought was going to lose his upper lip but not with following Doc’s instructions.
I must also mention bedside manner. I have had several old equines and there comes a time when they have to cross the rainbow bridge. Day or night you can count on Dr. Farmer to be there for you and your client, whether it be a colic whose options are up or an old lame soul that needs its owner’s kindness. She is gentle and factual and I trust her implicitly when making a decision.
In my opinion, Equine Performance Veterinary Practice is the most up to date group in the area. I am very happy with their service, response time, knowledge, pricing, and kindness.
When Tino injured his superficial digital flexor tendon, I wasn’t sure if he’d ever make it back into the show ring, but thanks to Dr. Farmer, he’s back doing what he loves. At 20 years old, Tino is still out there showing, bringing home ribbons, and loving every minute of it!
Your horse. Our focus.
