Your Trusted Equine Veterinarians in Wisconsin
Founded in 1992 by Dr. Robert and Gina Magnus, Wisconsin Equine Clinic has grown from humble beginnings in a repurposed dairy barn to a state-of-the-art equine medical facility. Our practice is built on a foundation of exceptional client relationships and word-of-mouth referrals, with early expansion driven by Dr. Magnus recruiting Dr. Douglas Langer to form a renowned surgical team. Through strategic growth, including merging with Lake Country Equine in 1998, we have pioneered veterinary technology by introducing digital radiography, MRI, and advanced reproductive services to the region. Our team of specialized equine veterinarians offers comprehensive care, combining traditional diagnostic approaches with cutting-edge therapies while maintaining core values of compassionate service. With 24/7 emergency capabilities and innovative diagnostic tools like our new Standing CT Scanner, we serve horses and owners across Wisconsin and northern Illinois.Our collaborative approach ensures personalized treatment plans for diverse equine needs, from routine wellness checks to complex surgical interventions. The clinic's leadership team actively invests in advancing veterinary medicine through continuing education and adoption of emerging technologies. We maintain commitment to client communication, transparent processes, and maintaining the highest standards of equine healthcare. Our facility supports both on-farm care and hospital-based treatments, accommodating horses from trail riding companions to elite competition animals. With over three decades of experience, we continue evolving our services while upholding the personalized care that established our reputation in Wisconsin's equine community.
