Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital has just finished the expansion of its Saratoga Springs facility at 63 Henning Road.
The veterinary practice was originally started in Lexington, Ky. In 1986, Dr. Rood and Dr. Riddle opened a hospital there.
“There was a need for an extra hospital to handle the horse population,” said Dr. Brett Woodie, a surgeon at the Kentucky branch.
In 2012, they began operations in the area offering ambulatory services. In 2013, they purchased Saratoga Equine Veterinary Service and opened the Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital.
Saratoga Equine Veterinary Service had been previously owned and operated by Bill and Diana Barnes.
“We needed to expand the existing facility in order to provide the horse population with the services we offer,” said Woodie.
The hospital offers ambulatory services, diagnostic imaging, internal medicine, laboratory services, podiatry services, regenerative medicine, reproductive specialties and surgical services.
