SPORT-HORSE CARE FOR NORTH ATLANTA
Specialized
Exceptional, Comprehensive Veterinary Care that Keeps your Sport Horse Feeling Like a Champion!
At Thompson & Associates Equine Medicine (TAEM), we know you want the best, most comprehensive veterinary care to maintain your sport horse to peak performance.
In order to do that, you need a practice that understands the unique demands of high-level competition horses and the need for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and a wellness plan that keeps him in the ribbons or restores him to top form.
You need a vet that has the knowledge and capability to effectively address all your horse’s needs through all the stages of his life, including preventative medicine, regenerative medicine, neurology, ophthalmology, dermatology, acupuncture, spinal manipulation, and so much more.
It’s our mission to communicate, not only with you, but your horse’s team of professionals – including your stable manager, trainer, and farrier – to provide the best possible outcomes for your horse with the least amount of stress.

In addition to routine preventative care, we offer thorough lameness workups and treatments, leading-edge regenerative modalities, ophthalmology, neurology, reproduction services, and complimentary therapies like spinal manipulation and acupuncture.

We know you are interested in treating the whole puzzle - not one piece alone, that’s why we look at the entire horse when creating treatment and long-range maintenance plans – which may include regenerative modalities, joint injections or complimentary therapies, such as spinal manipulation and acupuncture.
Teamwork
Our vets meet weekly to discuss client needs and happily cover for each other when needed so that you never have to worry about finding another vet in an emergency.
Collaborative
Communication
To provide the best possible outcome for your horse, it’s often necessary to include all the professionals integral to your horse’s care; including your trainer, farrier, and stable manager. The best results come when your horse is managed by an informed team.
We want you to be well-educated and informed about your horse’s medical diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care. We are dedicated to ensuring that you know each step your horse may encounter on his medical journey.
While we know that the process can take time to provide a diagnosis, we will maintain contact with you the entire time. And if we’ve exhausted the options available, you’ll be referred to the appropriate veterinary facility to keep your horse on the path to wellness.
SEAMLESS CARE FROM ROUTINE VISITS TO EMERGENCIES
As a client of TAEM for the past 10 years, I can say we are beyond satisfied. Working with this team of veterinarians is seamless. We love our dedicated vet but when an emergency arises with a horse, we know that we get the same level of care with the on-call vet. We appreciate fast emergency responses and how the vets take their time with our horses. They are clearly horse people!
“We appreciate fast emergency responses…”
I admire that each TAEM vet pursues continuing education and embraces alternative therapies. We appreciate how the vets are able to provide treatment options with tremendous empathy for the horse and also for us too. TAEM vets are always clear and direct. We have tremendous confidence and faith in them, knowing they will refer us to the university when it is appropriate.
Thank you TAEM for being fantastic!
