Patrick Hearn, DVM, MSc

Patrick grew up in Toronto, attended Upper Canada College, the University of Guelph, and then The Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), graduating in 1985. He completed an internship with Stan Cosgrove in Kildare, Ireland, and then joined Windfields Farm, a leading Canadian Thoroughbred breeding farm, in Oshawa, Ontario. He completed a Master’s degree in Equine Reproduction at OVC in 1993.

The practice has a strong focus on stud farm medicine, foaling and reproductive care in the spring. However, it also has a busy general aspect that includes lameness, medicine, preventive care, and pre-purchase exams and looking after equids from all walks of life: polo ponies, hunters, jumpers, eventers, western pleasure, reining and roping horses, pony club ponies, draft horses, and donkeys.
