About Us

Becker Equine was opened in 2020 as an exclusive Ambulatory Service in the East Coast (NJ, PA, MD).  In 2021, Becker Equine moved to Texas, that grew to become a fully operated haul-in clinic, 24/7 monitored care in a 16ac facility in South Navasota.

Becker Equine is currently offering emergency care, primary care, performance evaluation and treatment as well as a variety of consultation and surgeries in both the US and abroad.

Our service is equipped with state of the art: Lameness locator (Equinosis), digital radiographs, ultrasound, airway endoscopy, gastroscopy, regenerative therapies (PRP, Prostride, stem cell, alpha 2), and electrochemotherapy. Laboratory is mostly performed in house, following the highest standards in the marked.

Our mission

To inspire and nurture people and their equine partners to reach their full potential through delivering compassionate, high quality medical and surgical veterinary care from birth through retirement. 

Our Core Values

Compassion

We treat horses and people with the utmost dignity, compassion and love. Every patient is treated as one of our own.

Excellence

We aim to exceed the expectations of each individual patient – family, client, friends and staff.

Integrity and clarity

Providing clear, detailed and accurate information through an open channel of communication is our standard of care. We are continuously evolving and improving better pathways to fulfill the best channels of communication, services and programs.

Dedication

We are dedicated to help people and horses develop their full potential.

We are currently in progress for a set location for in house examination, where complex medical and surgical cases will be evaluated and if needed hospitalized for treatment. We soon will be able to offer surgical procedures including: colic surgery, arthroscopy, and much more.
