Meet Dr. Carter
Dr. Dan Carter is Countryside’s Equine hoof expert, and he holds a significant distinction among veterinarians – he’s also a certified journeyman farrier. This combination is an unusual one – he shares it with only eight other veterinarians in the U.S.
After finishing his undergraduate studies in animal science at the University of Wyoming, Dr. Carter obtained his farrier certification through the American Farriers Association, the nation’s preeminent hoof care organization. His introduction to the craft came when he saw horses being shod on a ranch out West, and he was hooked. He soon realized he hated his “real job” after college and began apprenticing with Bill Sanders, CJF, a farrier in Colorado. As Dr. Carter’s shoeing skills grew, so did his client book, and he ended up working exclusively as a shoer as he made his way through vet school at the University of Georgia.
Important Information
In the event of an equine emergency, any patient located more than 45 minutes from our clinic must be hauled to our hospital in Covington, GA. This policy helps us ensure that every patient receives timely and appropriate care.
Because of the inherent limitations of farm-call appointments, the attending veterinarian may recommend for the patient to be hauled to the clinic for further evaluation or treatment. Because farm-call appointments have limited equipment and are not a sterile environment, the doctor may require that your horse be hauled in for further evaluation or treatment.
