Equine Care Group

Pursuing optimal health and providing the best care is the mission of the EQUINE CARE GROUP.

All this thanks to a close collaboration of veterinarians and scientists at the highest level with an aligned goal and the same vision.

17/01/2026

I am incredibly proud of our team. What we are achieving today is the result of passion, craftsmanship, and the real, tangible value we create together within equine care.

Our unique, holistic approach brings together veterinarians and equine clinics from all over the world. This collaboration fuels innovation, accelerates knowledge sharing, and continuously raises the standard of care across our sector.

ECG was founded by veterinarians, for veterinarians. Our mission is clear: to professionalize and modernize equine healthcare while keeping equine medicine exactly where it belongs: in the hands of veterinarians.

I firmly believe that medicine, whether human or veterinary, must always be led by doctors and veterinarians, guided by expertise, ethics, and an uncompromising focus on patient welfare.

By identifying a clear gap in the market, we have created a powerful and sustainable solution for equine veterinarians and clinics worldwide. ECG’s partnership model supports veterinarians with a future-proof framework, without ever compromising their autonomy, independence, or medical integrity.

We are only at the beginning. ECG is expanding globally, continuing to innovate, and shaping a stronger, better future for equine healthcare around the world.

It’s all about teamwork and passion.

Welcoming Dr. Wim Vandermaesen to Equine Care Group
We are delighted to welcome Dr. Vandermaesen to the Equine Care Group family.

Wim is not only an experienced equine veterinarian, he is also a respected insurance and legal expert, with a longstanding reputation for his integrity, analytical insight and deep understanding of complex equine cases.

Within ECG, we believe in the power of shared expertise.
By bringing the best professionals together we cannot only improve Equine Medicine in every aspect, but we can also professionalize the entire sector and create a new future for veterinarians and better services to all actors involved.
Our strength lies in bringing together the best specialists across all domains of equine healthcare: from surgery and sports medicine to imaging, reproduction, nutrition, insurance and legal advisory.

With Wim joining our group, we are further expanding the support we can offer to not only veterinary colleagues, horse owners, but also Insurance companies and legal advisors.
Whether the questions are medical, technical, legal or insurance-related, our goal remains the same:

Florent David and Tatiana Vinardell connecting with the veterinary students of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Veterinary School in the Canary Islands, Spain — where Tatiana began her veterinary journey 28 years ago. A truly emotional moment filled with meaningful and inspiring exchanges. No matter where veterinary schools are located, Equine Care Group is committed to reaching out and supporting veterinary education worldwide.

Raising our standards to offer every horse the care it deserves 🖤

Surgeons from several Equine Care Group clinics gathered for an intensive orthopedic training session, taking the time to dive deep into complex cases and openly discuss the challenges they face in the field.

Beyond the technical discussions, every moment was driven by a shared purpose: improving the way we care for horses and ensuring that every patient benefits from the most advanced and thoughtful veterinary approach.

The energy in the room was remarkable. Each voice brought valuable insights, each question sparked meaningful reflection, and every idea contributed to raising our collective standards. This commitment to continuous education is not only essential for surgeons, it directly translates into better diagnostic accuracy, safer procedures and more successful recoveries for the horses entrusted to us. For veterinarians, whether part of our network or beyond it, these collaborative sessions are an opportunity to exchange perspectives, refine techniques and remain aligned with the latest developments in equine orthopedics.

A heartfelt thank you to Arthrex for their ongoing support and for helping make this educational event such a meaningful success. Days like these remind us why we dedicate ourselves to equine medicine: because every improvement in our knowledge and teamwork ultimately benefits one patient above all the horse.
