I could tell you atleast 20x Huck Equine has saved one of my horses. Its 2:03 a.m. and I have once again had to take one of my fur babies on an emergency visit. As we pulled in the drive an employee welcomed us to help get our horse in. As we entered Doc Martha was working on another sick horse. This didnt stop her from acknowleding us. Her staff and her work hand in hand. As she came to help us her staff member jumped over to the other horse. The phone was ringing as the employee took the call Martha never once stopped assisting us. Not one time did we feel unwelcomed or as if our situation was

Absolutely TOP NOTCH . They have become like family and honestly my sister and I are SO BLESSED that our vet referred us to them when our miniature horse got sick because if not she wouldn't be with us today. Doc Martha goes above and beyond and the support staff is pretty awesome too
