Overview

Thal Equine is a regional equine hospital located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We provide surgical care for equines from as far away as Durango, Colorado, and the surrounding area. Our equine hospital is run by Dr. Douglas Thal who is a licensed DVM in the state of New Mexico and is a qualified equine vet surgeon. He focuses on providing emergency and non-urgent surgical care for horses at the horse surgical center in New Mexico

Dr. Thal, a lifelong horseman and equine vet since 1993, has been solving tough equine veterinary problems since he started practice. The practice has added and lost staff and veterinarians over the years, but one thing has stayed the same- a commitment to providing thorough veterinary care, exemplary customer service and great communication. Thal Equine has provided professional, reliable and effective after-hours equine emergency service since the late 1990’s. Dr. Thal has been performing emergency colic surgery in this practice since 2000
