Best Answer

Yes, you can choose to limit your practice to only horses and particularly among competition and breeding horse owners, the preference is to use an equine exclusive veterinarian. However, regardless of your preferred species, you will have to learn about all the major domestic animals in vet school and will be tested on this information before you can practice veterinary medicine.

Equine Veterinarians, and Large Animal Veterinarians are specialists that treat horses. They do usually command a higher fee than small animal veterinarians or those without additional special training. Each veterinarian chooses how much to charge for their services. Additionally, most veterinarians treating horses come to your farm to see them. You will pay a trip charge to cover the vet's expenses for the visit.
