My mare twisted when her foal was three weeks old. Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Kemper came late at night performed lifesaving colic surgery. My mare was able to raise her Colt and made a complete recovery. They received top notch care during their stay. I am so very grateful!

Nice staff. The young girl with the black hair, I didn't catch her name but she helped me make sure my horse made it home safely even though she was already off the clock for the night. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Dr Kemper and Dr Sullivan have always been fantastic with all of our equine needs. We use them for all of our emergency care and equine breeding. Dr Kemper most recently treated our mare that cut her eye and did a tremendous job making sure nothing else was needed other than stitches. They have also helped us through all our emergencies with kindness and grace. They showed empathy when we lost a horse that couldn't be saved. Their staff sent two cards after the loss signed by all the employees. Dr Kemper has been very successful for us breeding our warmblood mares, with frozen semen. I highly recommend them for any equine emergency or breeding needs, they have also assisted us with our goat emergency.

We drive 110 miles one way to receive vet care at West Coast Equine Equine, because their care is exceptional. We have had horses needing colic surgery and Dr. Sullivan us the best! We have had mares that needed 24 hour care for foaling, because the mare had medical issues, and Dr. Kemper was amazing. We have 85 horses and we trust these two veterinarians to provide the best veterinary care for them.

Dr. Sullivan is great. Always comes out to see my horses, on time and handy with a fix. Diagnosed an injury during a soundness check, better in 3 months. It just doesn't get better. A vet you can count on.

Dr. Sullivan has been our equine vet since 1994. He has provided care to all of our horses through the years. His quiet, calm manner gives him easy access to them. Long before the horses realize anything is happening the treatments are almost always completed. He has provided routine care from vaccinations to treating our six severely burned horses after the fires in 2003. During two months of debriding and cleaning burns, Dr. Sullivan, Dr. Kemper, and many volunteers provided round-the-clock care. Dr. Sullivan had no barn facility of his own at that time, which made his life so much more difficult and exhausting as West Coast Equine continued to care for their other client's horses. During the treatment for our horse's burns, Dr. Kemper worked alongside Dr. Sullivan to provide the best possible outcome. It was a grueling, exhausting marathon. I don't know why anyone that didn't have to be involved would not just walk away. It was painful on every level for the animals and humans. Dr. Sullivan cared so much about our horses and did everything he knew to do to bring them all home together. He marshalled every resource he knew of to treat their burns. There could never have been enough money to pay him for the unending hours he cared for them. The horses needed so much care, so much time, so many treatments, and so much medicine. We were blessed to be able to bring five of our six horses home together. And he was there for us to the end with Kiowa. We know that Dr. Sullivan treats horses that are worth far more than ours. The fact that our horses are not worth as much monetarily as most others in southern California doesn't affect how Dr. Sullivan treats them. From the rescue horse to the priceless show horse, they each mean everything to the people that love them. And that is how Dr. Sullivan approaches each one. We are eternally grateful for his talents and that he would choose to keep showing up when our horses need their doctor. We love our animals. From the womb to the tomb, we do everything we can to provide them a great quality of life. But when everything has been done that can be done and it is an end-of-life issue we do not choose to subject them to treatments that only prop them up for a few more days. Dr. Sullivan is crucial when it comes to making the difficult decision to euthanize. Separation from our "good and perfect gifts from above" (James 1:17) is almost unbearable, but we do "not grieve as those who have no hope" (1 Thessalonians 4:13). We lean heavily on the promises in the Bible. "For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Against its will, all creation was subjected to God's curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time" (Romans 8:19-22). We either groan at times in life or pretend we don't. "But someone may ask, "How will the dead be raised? What kind of bodies will they have?" What a foolish question! When you put a seed into the ground, it doesn't grow into a plant unless it dies first. And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a bare seed of wheat or whatever you are planting. Then God gives it the new body he wants it to have. A different plant grows from each kind of seed. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another" (1 Corinthians 15:35-39). "God has planted eternity in the human heart" (Ecclesiastes 3:11). In May of 2019, Dr.'s Sullivan and Kemper provided a life-saving blood transfusion and treatment to one of our five-day-old mustang filly babies. Sheridan did not thrive from the day of her birth, but as her white blood cell count declined to a critical level, West Coast Equine treated her with a transfusion that was not guar
