In the United States there are 28 colleges of veterinary medicine, any of which will give you a good foundation to become an equine veterinarian. With the specialization and advances made in equine medicine, much of the equine-specific training is done through externships and internships at tertiary referral equine centers such as Rood and Riddle - most vet schools have a working relationship with these privately-owned centers and there are typically externship positions available in them.
