Serenity Equine

Our Staff

Andrea E. Floyd, D.V.M.
Dr. Floyd has been specializing in Equine Podiatry for 23 years and is the owner of Serenity Equine.

Serenity Equine is Virginia's first Equine Transitional Care Facility specializing in Advanced Laminitis Techniques and Catastrophic Injuries of the lower limb including Amputation and Prosthetic Placement.

Her concentration on lower limb and lameness problems has led to the development of new surgical and recovery techniques. This has led to exciting and remarkable results in treating a range of problems from laminitis, navicular syndrome, caudal heel pain, surgical correction of hoof abnormalities, amputation and prosthetic placement.

Dr. Floyd firmly believes that all horses should be radiographed and evaluated for proper digital alignment, as performance is often aided and enhanced with corrective management. Many fractures of the equine limb, tendon and ligament injuries could be prevented with proper alignment. Serenity Equine is presently working with horsemen and their farriers to achieve maximum performance for their horses. A wide variety of equine interests has led Dr. Floyd to practice in several countries.

Dr. Floyd is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, American Association of Equine Practitioners and the American Farriers Association.

She is currently writing the first textbook on Equine Podiatry scheduled for release in the fall of 2005 with Elsevier Publishing House. This book is very important to Dr. Floyd as it will become an invaluable reference that will help horsemen, farriers and veterinarians alike in understanding hoof problems.

Dr. Floyd recently spoke at the Bluegrass Laminitis Symposium and has published several articles on Equine Podiatry and related subjects.

She is currently teaching Veterinarians, Farriers and Horsemen and Women at Serenity Equine. The class schedule is posted on the home page or click here for classes.

Dr. Floyd is an active member with the AVMA, AAEP, AFA, and also deeply involved with several civic nonprofit horse rescue organizations such as CFMEF, ReRun, CVHPA and Days End Farm Horse Rescue.

Dr. Floyd is available for consultation and 24 hour emergency response for Laminitis help.
