Woodside Equine Clinic

What Woodside Equine Clinic does

Woodside Equine Clinic is a privately owned, full-service equine veterinary practice headquartered in Ashland, Virginia, serving horse owners across Central Virginia. The clinic offers a comprehensive service portfolio spanning wellness and preventive care, 24/7 emergency services, ambulatory farm calls, advanced diagnostics (radiography, ultrasonography, nuclear scintigraphy, and 3.5-meter video gastroscopy), and specialty surgical procedures including colic surgery, arthroscopy, and laparoscopy. Treatment modalities extend into joint injection therapies (corticosteroids, PRP, Pro-Stride, stem cells, PAAG), electrochemotherapy for skin tumors, reproductive services, sports medicine, dental care, acupuncture, and chiropractic. Clinical care is delivered by a team of eight veterinarians, including two board-certified surgeons (Dr. Charlene Noll and Dr. Alyson Booth, DACVS-LA), supported by two rotating interns, licensed veterinary technicians, and administrative staff, with a recently expanded dedicated Emergency & Surgery facility at the Ashland headquarters.

The practice operates on a professional services revenue model charging for consultations, diagnostics, surgery, and emergency care, supplemented by three ancillary revenue streams: an annual Wellness Plan subscription bundling preventive services, an online pharmacy (myvetstoreonline) for medications and supplements, and elective elective/standing procedures such as gastroscopy and electrochemotherapy. Distribution combines clinic-based services, ambulatory farm calls, and a mobile gastroscopy unit extending care to client properties, while client-facing third-party financing through CareCredit, Cherry Payment Plans, and John Deere Financial supports affordability for higher-ticket procedures. Marketing is anchored by an educational blog, video library, and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), with the practice affiliated to AVMA and AAEP.

Customer acquisition is primarily direct-to-consumer, targeting individual horse owners in Central Virginia — including companion, performance/athletic, and breeding segments — through reputation, referrals, and word-of-mouth evidenced by multiple long-tenure client testimonials spanning 10 to 25+ years. The company has no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, and no parent company, and ownership rests with the practicing veterinarians (Scott Anderson listed as president and owner in the leadership data).
