Overview

A full-service primary care, referral and emergency veterinary hospital facility for horses. We provide complete care for your equine athlete or companion both in our hospital and in the field

Harry W. Johnson, DVM, established the practice as Littleton Large Animal Clinic (LLAC) in 1950, treating horses, cattle, pigs, sheep and goats. Horses, however, have always been a passion among the practitioners. Doctors Marvin Beeman, Charles Vail and Terry Swanson partnered with Dr. Johnson to build a practice that was unmatched for dedication and quality of care. As time passed, local farms gave way to urbanization and farm animals moved from the area. Throughout this change, the horse community continued to grow, while the dedication of the veterinary staff to each horse and client remained steadfast. Today, Littleton Large Animal Clinic is known as Littleton Equine Medical Center and treats exclusively horses. The staff has grown to over 70 including veterinarians, interns, technicians and support staff to provide Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region with a referral center for specialized horse care

Mission — Since 1950, it has been our mission to raise the standard for exceptional equine care through passion, compassion and professionalism
