KING "Originally from Australia, Dr. Chris King is a conventionally trained equine veterinarian with 20 years of experience. With post-graduate training in equine internal medicine and equine exercise physiology (sports medicine), Dr. King is an accomplished practitioner, educator/speaker, author, and researcher. Her twin passions as a healer and teacher, as well as her sense of compassion and humour, make for a truly unique consultation experience. "By following her interest in complementary and alternative therapies, Dr. King has built on her conventional foundation to create a practice that is best described as integrative. Seeing a need for more attention at both ends of the health-disease-recovery spectrum, her practice focuses on two key areas: - prevention or early intervention of illness & injury
- rehabilitation following illness or injury
"Dr. King expands the idea of preventive health care beyond deworming and vaccination to include such areas as nutrition, environmental management, stress reduction, social needs, exercise, task-specific fitness, hoof care, dental care, saddle fit, and training/behavioral issues. This basic approach is used for every horse, from pasture pets to elite performance horses. "With a guiding philosophy which embraces the range of health care perspectives from the conventional to the esoteric, Dr. King offers a wide variety of options.
