Are you passionate about equine sports medicine and rehabilitation? Looking for a supportive, innovative team that values your growth, work-life balance, and long-term satisfaction?
Welcome to Front Range Equine Performance.
We’re redefining what it means to practice equine medicine—by thinking outside the box, creating flexible schedules, and fostering a sustainable, positive environment where veterinarians can thrive.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
Minimal On-Call
Shared only between four veterinarians for rehabilitation patients. Our on-site rehab team handles triage. No routine/ambulatory emergency coverage required.
Part-Time Options
Not ready for full-time? We’re happy to tailor a part-time role that works for your goals and lifestyle.
A Focus on Sustainability
We’re committed to creating a sustainable model for equine veterinary practice—one that prioritizes work-life balance, long-term career satisfaction, and the health of our team. By limiting emergency duties, encouraging professional development, and embracing flexible scheduling, we’re building a future where you can love equine medicine for the long haul.
About the Role
We’re seeking a motivated, team-oriented veterinarian with a strong interest in equine sports medicine, lameness, and rehabilitation. You’ll be part of a collaborative team dedicated to achieving outstanding outcomes through a mix of traditional and integrative therapies.
Because a large portion of our caseload includes complementary therapies (chiropractic, acupuncture), you must be certified or willing to become certified in these areas within the first 2 years of joining the practice.
Schedule & On-Call
• Typical Schedule: 5-day (Mon–Fri) workweek, transitioning to 4 days + 1 office day
• On-Call: Rehab patients only, shared between 4 vets, with strong support from rehab staff and referral hospitals
• Holidays: Generous time off, including Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and a bonus day off when holidays fall on a weekend
Your Future with Us
Caseload
Approximately 60% sports medicine/lameness and 40% complementary therapies. We’re looking for veterinarians who embrace both traditional diagnostics and integrative care.
Training & Support
Chiropractic, acupuncture, and rehabilitation certifications will be required over time. Not certified yet? We’ll pay for your training and provide mentorship to build your confidence and skillset. (3-year repayment clause applies if you leave within 3 years of certification.)
Professional Development
Education is part of our culture. Whether you’re certified or just getting started, you’ll be supported. Got a special interest—like saddle fit or regenerative therapies? We’ll help you grow that niche and become a go-to expert in the region.
Teaching & Mentorship
We love teaching. Veterinary and pre-vet students regularly join us for ride-alongs and hands-on learning. If mentoring future professionals excites you, you'll feel right at home.
