Any school of veterinary medicine will give you the basics towards becoming an equine veterinarian; if the school doesn't have a strong equine program there you can supplement your time in vet school with externships and experiences at other schools or at private equine facilities. Once you get out of vet school, the important thing is to work with a good established equine veterinarian to hone your technical skills.

Word of mouth is still a good way to find a vet. Ask other horse owners who they use for their horses. If it's an emergency you won't have time for inquiries. It's good to get a vet that will come after hours. It seems horses wait to get sick or injured after regular office hours. If you are close enough to a vet that is set up with an equine hospital that's even better. They are better equipted with diagnostic tools.If you can, try not to wait for an emergency to find a new vet. Lastly, find a vet that you have confidence in and have a rapport. About 50% of vet work is dealing with the horse owners so pick a vet that you are comfortable with.
