Wilmington, Ohio – World Equestrian Center – Wilmington is thrilled to announce a partnership with Hagyard Equine Medical Institute. For the remainder of the 2023 and 2024 hunter/jumper show series, Hagyard Equine Medical Institute will serve as the Official Show Veterinarian at World Equestrian Center.
Hagyard is amongst the most recognized and trusted names in equine care. Equipped with a full-service equine medical facility in Central Kentucky, they offer ambulatory, surgical, theriogenology, and internal medicine services including numerous diagnostic modalities such as the MILE-PET scan, Hallmarq standing MRI and nuclear scintigraphy.
