Lone Star Park Equine Hospital

"avoid this vet like the plague. i recently was informed that an amazing, gorgeous horse that was leased to to him and jordan Gilchrist's customer many years ago was over showed by them every weekend, despite being begged to show him reasonably. our pleading throughout this contract to not abuse him was very obviously ignored. no horse can take the amount of showing that they put this horse through weekend after weekend, hunter jumper event after hunter jumper event. regardless, they knowingly carried on.... they then proceeded to use illegal blocks to send him back to us so that he appeared sound for 5-6 days and passed our vet's inspection. he was completely crippled and purposely so. the illegal blocking ensured that he appeared sound on his return home after a 1 year lease so that there was no legal recourse against their sick actions. i am not a vindictive person, but this horse meant the world to me and i had to ensure this was posted so that any horses leased out to david and jordan Gilchrist are not at risk for being completely crippled by them overshowing to their heart's content. thank you david and jordan for ensuring that you used every ounce of this horse until there was nothing left. round of applause for knowing what TX insurance claims would need to take legal recourse on this inhuman action and taking matters into your own hands to make sure that was bent in your favor by giving him illegal blocks to appear sounds on arrival.....looking back, i wish someone had warned us that they clearly could care less about what was best for any horse and then this horse could have gone somewhere where he got what he actually deserved. if you have had good experiences with either of these people, good for you, but forgive me for feeling the need to provide this information so that someone else's child does not lose a perfectly healthy horse and that they do not receive him home completely broken because it was and is excruciating , no amount time will heal that"

"They were wonderful the treated my horse with care and informed me of every step and why."

"Love this place great to have a date, hang out, or loose half your check but very clean well kept up place to go with family, friends or yourself."

"The vet here took so much time to figure out what was wrong with my horse and I am so grateful. Other clinics were not treating the actually problem they basically "put a bandaid" on it so. He would be ok for a short time and then the problem recurred over and over (for several years). This hospital took time to figure out the cause not just treat the symptoms. The staff was very friendly. Everything is very clean here in the barn, exam room and even restroom. I have been to other hospitals and they do not even come close to the level of care provided here."

"Absolutely wonderful experience! I took my filly there who had a horrific cut on her neck. It was a true emergency and after normal hours. It was an hour and a half drive for us to get there. Dr. David Gilchrist was waiting for us to arrive. He immediately began the lengthy surgery of stitching her neck back together. Once he was done, he asked to keep her there to monitor for infection. She and the mare had to stay for a couple of weeks. The injury dictated after care. Their facility is clean, the staff is amazing and a first class outfit. Dr. Gilchrist even took the time to send me pictures and updates since it was to far for me to drive to see them. Love this equine hospital!"
