My draft horse needed hock surgery, they responded to my call the same day and got him scheduled within the week. They were thorough with instructions, kept me informed threw surgery, and even stayed late at pickup due to trailering in extreme heat. I absolutely recommend NEE for your horse surgery needs.

Absolutely the best experience! From the scheduling to the care, handling and communication this was top notch! To trailer in with a baby and have him adjust easily and be treated so well is heartwarming. We appreciate this so much the staff went over and above to get the added items taken care of and to make sure the baby had a positive experience. So appreciated!
