About us
For over three decades, Bayhill Equine has served as a cornerstone of excellence in equine sports medicine, nestled within the iconic landscape of the San Francisco Peninsula. Founded on a legacy of elite care, our practice has evolved into a nationally recognized hub for performance horse medicine, supporting world-class athletes across dressage, jumping, and eventing. We believe that the highest level of medicine is only possible when practitioners feel empowered, which is why our culture is built on a foundation of clinical freedom and unwavering professional support.
Our environment is one of sophisticated collaboration where leadership functions as a collection of mentors and peers. We have cultivated a high-functioning team that values psychological safety, ensuring that every veterinarian has the space to innovate and lead. With a history of representing U.S. equestrian teams on the world stage, we offer a professional home that combines the prestige of elite competition with a deeply rooted, community-driven approach. Here, you are not just an associate; you are a vital part of a synchronized team dedicated to the longevity and performance of the equine athlete.
Great service and communication throughout caring for my horse that suddenly got a bacterial infection just after moving to the Bay Area. Kind approach to care, and Dr Margo was easy to work with to coordinate around my busy work schedule. Thank you for nursing Armani back to health! – Celest S – Google Review
About this role
Your mission in this role is to deliver transformative sports medicine through a sophisticated ambulatory model. You will lead the way in lameness evaluations and diagnostic imaging, moving beyond routine care to provide the definitive answers that trainers and owners rely on. This is a role designed for the clinical win – the satisfaction of seeing a high-level athlete return to peak performance through your direct intervention.
You are never practicing in isolation. Every associate is paired with a dedicated veterinary technician and a premium, fully equipped mobile suite – including Infiniti or Rivian vehicles – to ensure your focus remains entirely on the patient. Whether you are utilizing regenerative laser therapy, shockwave, or advanced biologic protocols like PRP and ProStride, you have the autonomy to craft comprehensive treatment plans. You will also play a pivotal role in our culture of knowledge-sharing, contributing to our active intern program and collaborating with top-tier referral hospitals to ensure total care for every horse in your paddock.
About you
We are seeking a veterinarian who is ready to reclaim their passion for equine excellence within a highly supportive, fast-paced environment. You are someone who thrives on the “detective work” of complex lameness cases and possesses the sophisticated communication skills required to build lasting partnerships with elite trainers and discerning owners.
Our ideal colleague is internship-trained with at least one year of clinical experience, bringing a proactive mindset and a desire for lifelong learning. We value practitioners who are not only technically proficient in sports medicine but are also collaborative by nature – individuals who see mentorship as a two-way street and are excited to help shape the next generation of equine vets. If you possess the grit to adapt to the unique challenges of ambulatory practice and the empathy to support both horse and human, you will find a true professional home here.
