Associate Veterinarian – Equine Sports Medicine

Elite Equine Veterinary Services | Penrose, Colorado

Build Your Career in Equine Sports Medicine

Are you looking for more than your next veterinary job?

Elite Equine Veterinary Services is seeking an Associate Veterinarian who wants to build a career in a full-service equine practice specializing in sports medicine while becoming an integral part of a progressive, growing practice.

Located in Penrose, Colorado, Elite Equine combines advanced diagnostics, regenerative medicine, rehabilitation, and ambulatory care to serve a diverse population of performance horses throughout Colorado and the surrounding region.

If you are passionate about performance horses, enjoy solving complex lameness cases, want access to progressive technology, and value working with a close-knit team, this may be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Who We Are

Since 2011, Elite Equine has built its reputation around one goal: providing exceptional care to the equine athlete.

What began as a sports medicine and lameness practice in central Colorado has grown into a full-service equine regional practice serving clients across Colorado and surrounding states, including Kansas, Texas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

Our patient population centers on performance horses, particularly western performance horses, including numerous world champions and elite competitors. As the practice has expanded, so has our clientele, with more show horses and English sport horses joining the Elite Equine family.

This creates an environment where our veterinarians routinely manage complex cases, build long-term relationships with competitive riders and trainers, and follow patients from diagnosis through rehabilitation and return to performance.

Practice at a Higher Level

At Elite Equine, our veterinarians have access to the tools necessary to practice complete progressive sports medicine

Our diagnostic and treatment capabilities include:

• Digital radiography
• Diagnostic ultrasonography
• NeedleView Arthroscopy
• Upper Airway Endoscopy and Gastroscopy
• PowerFloat dentistry
• Shockwave therapy
• Therapeutic ultrasound
• IRAP
• A2M
• RenoVo
• Regenaflex
• StrydaFlex
• Stem cell therapies
• Additional regenerative medicine modalities
• In-house reference-quality hematology with same-day results

Our expanding facility also includes modern treatment and hospitalization stalls, a covered jogging strip for lameness evaluation, and dedicated equine rehabilitation services.

From Diagnosis to Return to Performance

One of the things that makes Elite Equine different is our ability to participate in the entire continuum of care.

Our rehabilitation center includes the ECB Equine Spa, providing cold saltwater hydrotherapy, and the ECB Equine Aqua Treadmill.

Rather than diagnosing an injury and losing visibility once rehabilitation begins, our veterinarians can remain involved as horses progress from injury through rehabilitation and ultimately back into competition.

For a veterinarian interested in sports medicine, this provides an exceptional opportunity to understand not only how injuries are diagnosed and treated, but how equine athletes successfully return to performance.

Grow With Us

Elite Equine continues to expand, and we are looking for an associate who wants to grow with the practice.

We are not simply looking for someone to fill a position.

We are seeking a candidate interested in developing a long-term, mutually beneficial professional relationship and becoming an important member of our team.

The ideal candidate is:

• Passionate about equine medicine
• Interested in lameness and sports medicine
• Team-oriented and collaborative
• Personable and comfortable developing client relationships
• Hardworking and dependable
• Positive and solutions-focused
• An effective communicator
• Motivated to continually improve
• Committed to practicing high-quality veterinary medicine
• Experience in equine practice, lameness, or sports medicine is valuable, but we also recognize that technical ability can continue to develop with mentorship.

Character, work ethic, communication skills, curiosity, and the desire to become an exceptional veterinarian matter tremendously to us.

Have a Career—and a Life

A rewarding veterinary career should not require giving up everything outside of veterinary medicine.

Our location and practice model provide an opportunity to develop professionally while still enjoying life outside the clinic.

Penrose is a welcoming agricultural community that offers affordable rural living, wide-open spaces, and room for horses, livestock, and hobby farming.

At the same time, you are conveniently located near Cañon City, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs, providing easy access to larger-city amenities and transportation.

And when the workday ends, Colorado is your backyard.

Horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, fishing, hunting, camping, rafting, and countless other outdoor opportunities are all within reach.

Our goal is to create a practice environment where professional excellence and personal quality of life can coexist.

Compensation & Benefits

Our Associate Veterinarian will receive a competitive compensation package that initially includes:

• Competitive salary
• Paid vacation
• Continuing education allowance
• Colorado veterinary license fees
• Professional liability insurance
• Relocation/moving expense allowance
• Additional benefits are added as employment tenure increases.

Compensation and employment terms will be discussed based on experience, qualifications, and professional goals.

If you want access to advanced diagnostics, regenerative therapies, and rehabilitation…
