Future Equine Practitioners Weekend

January 2026

(Date TBD)

Our hope is that The Future Equine Practitioners Weekend can help address the shortage of veterinary practitioners entering into equine medicine.

The Future Equine Practitioners weekend has the distinct goal of exposing veterinary students with an interest in the equine field to a variety of hands-on experiences and valuable discussions with practicing veterinarians.

Desert Equine’s leaders are enthusiastic, energetic equine practitioners & business owners, that have a passion for equine medicine and sharing that passion with potential equine veterinarians. We also hope to help them realize the connections, comradery and support that equine practitioners have access to.

Through a series of wet labs and presentations, veterinary students are able to learn in active veterinary clinics encouraging collaboration & hands-on education.

32 Veterinary Students will be invited from 7 schools in the region:

University of Arizona

Colorado State University

Oregon State University

Western University

University of California Davis

Midwestern University

Washington State University
