| SEEKING EQUINE VETERINARIAN ASSOCIATE: Our practice is growing quickly and we feel there is an opportunity for more growth. We are willing to hire someone for few months before asking for a contracted position; this way we can get to know each other better and see if we are a good fit. Our goal is to have a veterinarian who would work 4-5 days a week and alternate call with the other two Doctors. Huck Equine is a successful, family-owned practice established in 1973 and located in Southeast Missouri, halfway between St. Louis and Memphis. Currently the clinic operates with two veterinarians as the founding partner seeks retirement. We are a progressive equine practice dealing with Quarter Horses, Tennessee Walking Horses, Belgians, Haflingers, Percherons, Arabians, Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds, Donkeys, Mules, and the occasional exotics like camels and zebras.

We are also equipped with a 20-stall hospital, air conditioned/heated exam and surgery room and an additional barn for lameness, chiropractic, acupuncture and breeding including a indoor round pen to accommodate all of our patient’s needs. Our staff is a loyal group of equine savvy individuals capable of assisting in any situation. We laugh a lot, socialize together and take care of each other.
