Thank you for being here today, Gateway Equine. Dr. Corey, you bring a calm, steady presence that my horses clearly respond to, paired with a depth of knowledge, compassion, and skill you’d expect from a vet teaching hospital. Seeing that level of medicine delivered in a small-town setting is extraordinary. Today, you put a big Standardbred on the road to recovery, and foxtrotters Stella and Billy quite simply might not be here if not for your commitment to their medical management. Thank you for saving lives and for bringing world-class veterinary care right here at home.

My horse cut his face open pretty badly this morning and I was understandably stressed. I called this vet and they responded immediately and told me to bring him in within the hour, which meant a lot when I was worried and unsure what to do. The professionalism and care they showed were outstanding. They handled my horse calmly, explained everything clearly, and made a stressful situation so much easier. You can tell they truly care about both the animals and their owners. I'm incredibly grateful for the quick response and excellent care. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable equine veterinarian.

Dr. Corey Harms is amazing! He has been our vet for many years. We rescued several of our horses (and donkeys) and they came with medical issues. Dr. Corey helped us get through these medical issues. Our latest horse Tejas has a ligament disease that made her trip and unsteady- thanks to Dr. Corey she's getting around with no issues now. His staff is amazing too!! Jessica, she handles the appointments and coordinates things for Dr. Corey, is friendly, helpful and quick to respond. I highly recommend Dr. Corey and team at Gateway Equine in Penn Valley.

To the team at Gateway Veterinary Services, From the moment I arrive, I’m welcomed by technicians whose warmth and professionalism set the tone for the entire visit. They’re knowledgeable, attentive, and easy to talk to—you feel comfortable asking questions and know you’ll get clear, respectful answers. Their calm handling and genuine care make every appointment feel smooth and stress-free—for both horse and human. Dr. Harms is hands down the kindest and most skilled veterinarian I’ve had the privilege to work with. He talks to you like a person, not just a client, and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand without ever feeling rushed or dismissed. He’s also great at making you laugh when you need it most—his sense of humor and empathy go a long way in easing tough moments and building trust. Appointments run on time, the facility is clean and well-organized, and the entire team works together seamlessly. I also appreciate the convenience of being able to pay my bill online—it’s one more way Gateway makes the experience smooth and client-friendly. If there’s ever an opportunity to enhance client support, it would be helpful if the after-hours voicemail included contact information for nearby emergency veterinary services. Even a simple referral would go a long way in those urgent moments when guidance matters most. Thank you for consistently providing thoughtful, high-quality care. Your dedication means a great deal to those of us who rely on you to keep our equine partners healthy and thriving. With gratitude, Jenna & the Equine Crew

We highly recommend Dr Harms at Gateway Equine. What sets him apart is he doesn’t just treat symptoms in the moment—he carefully researches history (including prior to ownership), and tracks changes over time … connecting the dots to provide the best possible care. He explains things clearly, listens attentively, and ensures that we feel fully supported and informed through every step. His professionalism is matched by an excellent bedside manner, both with our 3 horses and with us as clients. Our horses are in the best of hands, and we are deeply grateful for the thorough, compassionate, and expert care he provides.
