Driven by their passion for equine medicine and surgery, Dr. Bill Rood and Dr. Tom Riddle began practicing together as ambulatory veterinarians in 1982. Four years later, they opened Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital, which sits on 24 acres in the heart of the Bluegrass in Lexington, KY, as a horse referral center.

With the original hospital in Lexington, KY and additional hospitals in Saratoga Springs, NY and Wellington, FL, Rood & Riddle maintains an unwavering commitment to quality, both in the care of horses and in our relationship with clients and the community.

Today, the practice is known and respected worldwide for the innovative and highly skilled treatment of horses. Rood & Riddle continues its tradition of excellence in the twenty-first century serving as a referral center for horses requiring specialized medical and surgical care and providing ambulatory care for all breeds and disciplines.
