Retama Equine Hospital

What Retama Equine Hospital does

Retama Equine Hospital, doing business as San Antonio Equine Hospital, is a full-service, 100% equine veterinary hospital headquartered at 17555 Old Evans Rd in Selma, Texas, serving the South Central Texas region. The hospital operates as a primary care and referral facility with a four-veterinarian clinical team (including a Managing Veterinarian, two Associate Veterinarians, and a Surgeon) supported by seven veterinary assistants and two administrative staff. It is a subsidiary of National Veterinary Associates (NVA), a large U.S. veterinary consolidator, and is incorporated in Delaware.

The service offering spans general wellness and preventative care, advanced diagnostics (digital radiography, video endoscopy, ultrasonography, internal medicine endoscopy), sports medicine including pre-purchase examinations and lameness evaluation, internal medicine, an advanced reproduction laboratory for embryo transfer and artificial insemination, complementary acupuncture and chiropractic care, and 24/7 ambulatory and in-clinic emergency services. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via three channels: in-clinic hospital services, mobile field services that travel to customer homes and stables, and an online pharmacy for medications and supplements hosted on a third-party e-commerce platform.

The business model is primarily professional services — fees for clinical care, diagnostics, surgery, and reproduction procedures performed by veterinarians and technicians — supplemented by transactional revenue from the online pharmacy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quote-based with payment via credit card, CareCredit financing, and credit card on file. Customer segments include general horse owners, equine athletes and performance horses, and breeding operations with advanced reproductive needs. No public revenue figures are disclosed.
