Walnridge Equine Clinic
Walnridge Equine Clinic was founded in 1965 by David A. Meirs II, V.M.D., housed on 300 beautiful acres of Walnridge Farm in Cream Ridge, New Jersey. It is one of few such clinics to be based on a Standarbred horse breeding farm. Richard S. Meirs, V.M.D., now runs the practice, alongside associates Bruce N. Barnes, V.M.D. and Jan Henriksen, D.V.M.
The clinic has an on-site surgery for elective procedures, and conducts a general ambulatory equine practice in the area. They also provide all veterinary care for the many mares that come to foal on Walnridge Farm each year.
Walnridge Equine Clinic has earned an excellent reputation throughout the
international Standardbred community as
one of the centers for
stallion collection and fertility testing.
In addition the clinic now boasts a new state of the art Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber as an adjunct therapy for treatment of a variety of cases.
