Researchers at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine are inviting horse owners and riders nationwide to participate in a five-minute, anonymous survey examining expectations for equine veterinarians. Led by Dr. Jonathan Yardley, an associate professor in equine field service, the study explores preferences regarding professional attire, communication methods, and billing practices across different generations, riding disciplines, and demographics.
The research aims to help Veterinary students and practicing equine veterinarians better understand what horse owners value when interacting with Veterinary professionals. Topics include appropriate clothing, preferred communication channels, transparent billing, and establishing trust during routine appointments and emergencies.
The Institutional Review Board-approved study will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed Veterinary journal, allowing its findings to inform Veterinary education and equine practice worldwide. Horse owners and riders of all experience levels are encouraged to participate and share the survey with others in the equestrian community to ensure broad representation.
