Thal Equine Horse Hospital
The Thal Equine Horse Hospital is located on 50 acres just north of Lone Butte and northeast of the Silver Hills. The property borders the Bonanza Creek Ranch and is within sight of the Eaves Movie Ranch. Surrounded by undeveloped lands, private residences and scenic views, the property is a quiet and spacious place that is friendly to horses and their owners.
The property was previously used for horse boarding and training, which we continue to operate though separate businesses. We have found that the presence of happy, healthy horses on the property has been a comforting influence on our veterinary patients.

These stalls open up to spacious outdoor runs for fresh air and ventilation. The hospital barn also contains an office/pharmacy annex and isolation office.

Indoor Arena
The indoor arena is used for riding and for horse healthcare and nutrition workshops as well as other client seminars. Occasionally the indoor arena has been useful for veterinary cases, especially in poor weather.

Private Residence
Dr. Thal and other staff live on-site just a short walking distance from the barns, which is convenient for emergency surgical preparation as well as critical for after-hours monitoring of intensive care cases.
