Our History
Our story began in 1875 when Dr. E. T. Hagyard traveled to Kentucky to treat a Shorthorn Bull named the "Eighth Duke of Geneva." A year later, he returned to Central Kentucky to practice large animal veterinary medicine and opened Hagyard and Sons Veterinary Hospital on East Short Street in 1891. In 1951, after more than 50 years in successful practice, Dr. Charlie Hagyard partnered with Dr. Arthur Davidson & Dr. William McGee and adopted the name Hagyard, Davidson, McGee Associates. In 2004, our name was changed to Hagyard Equine Medical Institute to reflect our dedication to educational principles and our founders' achievements.
