Equine Care

Our goal at UF Veterinary Hospital at WEC is to offer top-notch veterinary care for performance horses and their owners.

Located at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, FL

Our board-certified veterinarians specialize in sports medicine, diagnostic imaging, and rehabilitation, using advanced equipment for accurate diagnosis and treatment of performance-limiting issues in horses. With locations at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala and the University of Florida in Gainesville, we offer comprehensive care at our full-service equine specialty referral hospital. We work closely with horse owners, trainers, agents, and veterinarians to provide the best care possible.
