**An important update on Four Star Equine’s policies regarding public health and safety during the COVID19 pandemic**
We are currently providing all services - wellness care, veterinary medical manipulation, acupuncture, prepurchase exams, lameness exams and sports medicine therapies, reproductive services, emergency response, etc.
Only one person should be present at the time of your appointment. We also ask that you comply with social distancing at your appointment as much as possible.
If you or someone you are have been in direct contact with has tested positive for COVID19 wtihin the last 2 weeks please call so that we can make other arrangements or reschedule if necessary.
If you have an appointment scheduled and you or any of anyone you are in close contact with (family, co-workers) are feeling ill (cough, runny nose, fever, shortness of breath) please please call and let us know so that we can make other arrangements or reschedule if possible. If your horses doctor gets sick you and many other local horse owners will have fewer options if your horse is experiencing a true emergency.
With economic uncertainty on the rise we will be requiring all appointments to pay at the time of service. If you cannot be present at the time of the exam you will need to leave a check or provide credit card information.
Thank you for your understanding and compliance. We want all of you to stay healthy and whole. Enjoy any extra time with your family and loved ones that you may have.

Many of you know that I lost my dear horse Romeo in March of 2017. We had been sharing adventures for 21 years. He was larger than life personality and truly a family member. If you've ever had a special heart horse like this you know that the absence leaves quite a void. I've been thinking about the proper way to honor his memory, and have decided to establish "Romeo's Angel Fund". This angel fund will be set aside for use by Four Star Equine clients whose horses are experiencing an emergency and need financial assistance in order to afford emergency care. Eligibility criteria - horse must be experiencing a life threatening emergency, horse must have fair (or better) prognosis for survival if treatment is provided, owner is in need of financial assistance in order to provide care. Maximum limit per disbursement will apply. Original artwork right: Robin Lansing Juncal, local canine and equine portraiture artist of Edinburg, VA
