I called and same day Shelly was able to come out to my place to see the horse i purchased. She spent a good amount of time with me and gave me some valuable information on how to care for my new horse!(1st time horse owner) I appreciate how well she explained everything. I will certainly stay with this company for all my future vet needs!

Vet Dr. Lindsey was amazing with my horses very deep wound. He had been lacerated and required 40 stitches 25 of which were in and 15 out. She was communicative and texted with me on a daily basis to ensure his progress was appropriate and what she expected. I cannot recommend this Vet Clinic and their veterinarians more.

I recently had to put my sweet 23 year old horse down. He was my first horse and was so special to me. Being my first horse I did not know what to expect. I was also overwhelmed with having to make this decision and being on a major time crunch. My horse was completely blind, that mixed with old age his quality of life wasn't that great any longer. He spooked a lot easier, continuously hurt himself and would go a little crazy with loud noises. Given that, I promised my big boy he would never have to endure a scared night of fireworks ever again. The time between the last time he hurt himself when we made the decision to put him down and 4th of July was very close to each other. I called Dr. Steve up and explained everything to him. He completely understood and was willing to help me out on a Sunday when I was both ready and could could have a tractor etc. Days prior he took the time to call me so I could ask questions as I had never been through this before. He was very compassionate and caring through out the entire process, he made sure prior that I was going to be ok as he knew I was hesitant on being there when my horse passed. He made sure to explain everything to me as he did it, and offered many condolence's. His pricing was also very reasonable, even for a Sunday call. I can't thank Steve enough for helping me through this process, being understanding, and helping me peacefully send my boy over the rainbow bridge. I'm not sure I can ever go through owning a horse again, but If i do.... Blue Skies Equine will be my first choice for Vet Services!! Thanks again Steve!

Mere words can never convey how grateful we are for Dr Steve Miller and Blue Skies Equine Services. As every equestrian fears, yesterday morning we woke up to my 3 year old filly Sassy in extreme distress. Colic. It was bad and although we were thankful we apparently caught it early, the signs and symptoms were not good. Sassy was in bad shape. We administered a proper dose of Banamine prior to Dr Miller's arrival. Unfortunately, we did not get the 'usual' quick reaction and response to the medication from Sassy. She was in a real dangerous condition. Dr Miller arrived on scene in record time. We know he values our horses, and us. He is a true dedicated caregiver. We so appreciate that. Life saving procedures began immediately as the good doctor worked diligently to save our beloved and beautiful girl. Injections, IV's, gastric lavage and more were employed as Dr Miller simultaneously diagnosed and treated Sassy. Everything that possibly could or would help was delivered and applied. Sassy began showing some positive signs, slowly. She was standing peacefully, with sedation, allowing me to comfort and reassure her as the IV fluids flowed. As the sedation wore off she starting lifting her head higher and higher. Her mouth was no longer contorted. She was watching me, and I her, with a growing gleam in our eyes. As Dr Steve climbed aboard his mobile office to depart, we all knew that Sassy was no where near being out of the woods. She had a lot of odds going against her, based on the vet's findings. But, with a firm handshake I felt comfort in knowing this man had done EVERYTHING he could to enable Sassy to run wild once again. As the hours wore on, I remained at Sassy's side, on watch. Words of encouragement go a long way for humans and animals. I was remaining absolutely positive, in my mind and my words. My vigil checklist was looking for movement. Sassy moving about and certainly bowel. I needed to see her start grazing in the round pen. And drink water. One by one I was elated to witness these critical steps coming to fruition! And after each vital victory her demeanor and vitality was returning. Today, one day after this horrible and potentially fatal event, I can happily announce Sassy has returned! This morning she was running in the pasture, kicking out and leaping for joy! Dr Steve Miller! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
