David S. Bogenrief DVM

Since starting my practice in 1979 I have always strived to attend to the specific needs of both the horse and the horse owner. Each is unique and each is entitled to their own special attention. As a horse owner you know the value of quality horse care and you know the specific needs of you and your horse.

At Estrella Equine Hospital we offer the finest medical services available anywhere. Our clients range from one horse enthusiasts to commercial operations and include horses used for racing, performance, breeding, show and pleasure. I would like to help you whether you are a one horse enthusiast or a commercial operation. My staff and I look forward to assisting you.

Thank You,
David S. Bogenrief, DVM
