An adjacent barn with more stalls helps to accommodate the overflow. There is stabling capacity for 22 equine patients including two intensive care units and a four stall isolation barn. Dr. Michael Hauser has been involved from the beginning with the design of the building and the procurement of equipment and supplies. He is the hospital director and chief veterinarian. Approximately 700 Arabian and Thoroughbred racehorse in training are divided among 10 major stables and several smaller ones.
Endurance racing is also a fast growing sport.
A unique feature of the hospital, which does not show on the ground floor plan is a second floor surgery viewing and waiting room. This luxuriously decorated room is located just above the transfer corridor, soiled utility and sterile storage rooms. It has a huge plate glass viewing window on each side, looking down into a surgery room. The orthopedic surgery room is on one side and the soft tissue surgery room is on the other side. The details of surgery can be viewed in this room on video monitors which display the surgery site from a camera in the surgery room.
