My friend Dr. Douglas O. Thal DVM has created a really useful smartphone application. It helps you diagnose horse problems, suggests treatments, and several other things.

Created by a life-long horseman and equine veterinarian with 20+ years of experience, Horse Side Vet Guide™ helps you partner with your veterinarian to optimize your horse’s health.

Far more than a mobile first-aid app, HSVG contains an extensive and growing list of observations, skills, how-to videos, veterinary diagnostics, diagnoses, treatments, and so much more.

Douglas O. Thal DVM Dipl. ABVP was raised on a cattle ranch in Northern New Mexico in a family of horse enthusiasts. He has been riding and training horses since childhood. Dr. Thal attended the University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, where he received his DVM degree in 1993 with an emphasis on equine and large animal medicine and surgery. Following veterinary school, Dr. Thal was the resident intern at Littleton Large Animal Clinic (now called Littleton Equine Medical Center) in Littleton, Colorado in 1993-1994. As an intern he assisted with a heavy caseload and gained valuable experience that he used in forming his own practice and practice philosophy.

After practicing in Colorado for three years, Dr. Thal returned to New Mexico and started his own practice at the family ranch in 1997. In 2000 he built the first full-service regional equine practice in Taos, New Mexico. In 2006 he moved the center of practice from Taos to its current location, just South of Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 2010 Dr. Thal became a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP), and is board certified in equine practice.
