Bayhill Equine

What Bayhill Equine does

Bayhill Equine, Inc. is a private mobile equine veterinary practice headquartered in Redwood City, California, founded in 1991 and operating as a subsidiary of National Veterinary Associates (NVA). The practice specializes exclusively in sports medicine and rehabilitation for performance horses — including show jumping, dressage, and athletic competition animals — across the San Francisco Peninsula. It operates a fully ambulatory model, bringing diagnostic and treatment capabilities directly to client barns and properties rather than requiring horse transport.

The service portfolio is anchored by sports medicine, lameness diagnostics, and pre-purchase examinations, supplemented by advanced regenerative therapies (Pro-Stride, IRAP, PRP), shock wave therapy, laser therapy, and general equine medicine. 24/7 emergency services are available via dedicated after-hours lines. The practice uses state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging (radiography and ultrasound) and autologous blood-processing protocols for regenerative treatments. Supporting infrastructure includes an online pharmacy integrated via Covetrus for prescription fulfillment, online bill payment through PayPal, and CareCredit financing options for clients.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional service fees on a quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing model, with secondary affiliate referral revenue from the Covetrus pharmacy and pharmaceutical rebate programs (Boehringer Ingelheim, Zoetis, Adequan). The customer base comprises individual performance and pleasure horse owners plus equine professionals in the SF Bay Area. Marketing is conducted through a content-led website (health tips, case studies, AAEP-aligned educational content) and community referrals. The company employs 11-50 staff and maintains internship and externship pipelines to develop veterinary talent for the practice.
