Elders Equine Veterinary Service

Elder’s Equine Clinic was established shortly after Dr. Elder graduated from veterinary college in 1967. Since that time, the practice has been proudly providing equine veterinary service to the Winnipeg and Southeastern Manitoba region.

Dr. Elder has always had a passion for horses and keeping them healthy so that they can perform their job as best possible. That tradition of care and service to our clients has been steadfast throughout more than 49 years of practice.

In 2012, the practice was taken over by Dr. Chris Bell and the name was formally changed to Elders Equine Veterinary Service. Dr. Bell is committed to carrying on the proud tradition of excellent equine veterinary care to the horses of Winnipeg, Southern Manitoba and surrounding areas. The services provided by Elders Equine have expanded to include full surgical services as well as advanced sports medicine and a full ambulatory practice to provide the best care to the horses and clients we serve

Located adjacent the Assiniboia River, Elder’s Equine Veterinary Service has a facility to provide all manner of equine veterinary services including surgery, indoor lameness evaluation, hospitalization and advanced diagnostics.

Elder’s Equine was one of the first places in Canada where equine joint arthroscopy was performed and is the only equine surgical facility within Manitoba where routine and advanced surgical techniques can be performed.

In addition to the clinical facility, Elder’s Equine Veterinary Service proudly serves the performance horse needs of Assiniboia Downs race track with an on-track business office and track dedicated veterinarians available to provide high quality equine sports medicine to our clients. (Source)
