Last week we asked our readers how they began using their current veterinarian. More than 850 people responded to our online poll, and we’ve tallied the results!

Of the 872 respondents, 498 (57%) said their current veterinarian was recommended by a friend or fellow equestrian. Another 111 respondents (13%) indicated their current veterinarian is the resident veterinarian at their boarding barn, while 81 people (9%) said their current veterinarian was recommended by a former vet.

The remaining 142 respondents (16%) responded that they found their veterinarian in a different way.

Additionally, more than 100 people commented on how they began using their current veterinarian:
