Our History

From humble beginnings as an ambulatory practice, Tennessee Equine Hospital has grown to a staff of 12 full time veterinarians, including certified veterinary specialists in surgery and internal medicine. The doctors of Tennessee Equine Hospital have been serving the Middle Tennessee horse community since 1991, moving to our current location in Thompson's Station in 1998. Beginning in 2008, the original facility expanded to include the current surgical, diagnostic imaging, reproduction, and isolation facilities, as well as the lameness and outpatient facilities.

In fall of 2014, Tennessee Equine Hospital expanded to a second location in Arlington, Tennessee. We built a 24/7 urgent care diagnostic clinic, called Tennessee Equine Hospital West to serve the horses in West Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi.

In January 2019, Dr. Matthew Lovell and the team at Lovell Equine Clinic collaborated with Tennessee Equine Hospital to form another satellite location, Tennessee Equine Hospital North. Tennessee Equine Hospital North is a 24/7 urgent care and outpatient clinic equipped to serve the horses in Northern Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.
