About Shuster Equine

Having ridden from a young age, I always knew I wanted to work with horses. In 1995, I graduated from the  College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences program of Colorado State University. My first jobs were for various multiple-vet equine ambulatory practices where my interests were lameness, wound management, and podiatry. In 2006, I started my own practice, Shuster Equine, LLC. 

Realizing that western medicine is limited in certain protocols, and wanting to increase my diagnostic skills and therapeutic options for patients, I decided to further my education. In 2002, I  became certified by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA), and in 2006 I earned certification in animal chiropractic and acupuncture care at the Chi Institute of Chinese Medicine in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). 

Shuster Equine encompasses chiropractic, acupuncture, cold-laser therapy (red and blue), and dentistry while keeping in mind the importance of podiatry and western medicine diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities.

I strive to keep an open, one-on-one dialogue with others working with your horse, including your regular veterinarian, farrier, trimmer, trainer, and groom.

I continue to expand my knowledge, furthering my skills in servicing horses to be the best that they can be.  Through my ongoing commitment to continued education, I attend multiple professional meetings and one-on-one sessions with colleagues throughout the year.
