Philanthropic support gives Leatherdale Equine Center new standing CT and NICU
With the equine standing computed tomography (CT), CVM veterinarians can quickly identify injuries to the head, neck, and legs without putting their patients through the stress of anesthesia.
And, the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) allows CVM veterinarians to better offer around-the-clock care to sick and injured newborn foals.

Remember your horse by placing a brick in the Reflection Garden
You can purchase a memorial brick to place in the Reflection Garden located near the main entrance of the Leatherdale Equine Center on the St. Paul Campus. It is a special place to celebrate and honor the life of your horse.
“Having a place such as the Reflection Memorial Garden has not only given me a place to honor my horse, but has helped in the healing process of grief.”
