"It is difficult to have one's beloved horses so far away from them, but when you know you have a careful, concerning and extremely experienced eye looking over them, it alleviates a lot of the worry.  I have known Dr. Judy Tubman for almost four years and she treats and cares for my horses as though they were her own. 

 

She takes an interest to get to know each horse and its needs, personally.  She is always accessible, easy to talk to and has a wonderful way of explaining often complicated issues so that I can understand.  I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Tubman as my veterinarian - she is the main reason why my horses have retired where they are."

"My geldings arrived at Dr. Tubman's farm in the fall of 2016.  They had lived on our New England farm for 18 years.  The adjustments they had to make, from our backyard care to a strange (to them) boarding stable, people and routines, and from northern weather to Eastern Shore humidity and heat, were challenging indeed.  Both were over 25 years old.  Both had Cushing's and had suffered laminitis episodes in the past. 

 

Dr. Tubman evaluated their condition and, with the help of her excellent staff, stabilized them and guided their healthcare through the winter so that, come the following spring, that could easily withstand the long journey back north to their current home in Maine."
