The Equine Hospital of Livet is a private practice located in Normandy, the heart of horse breeding in France. We treat horses of all disciplines with a well-balanced activity between racehorses, sports horses and leisure horses. There are currently 32 veterinarians (including 3 ECVS diplomates and 3 ACVIM/ECEIM diplomates). The hospital is composed of 9 specialized units: surgery, lameness investigation, MRI, scintigraphy, CT, intensive care and neonatalogy, internal medicine, isolation and theriogenology.

The programme duration will be 3 years (156 weeks). The resident will work with 3 ECVS-Diplomates. At least 120 weeks will be spent in surgery under the supervision of an ECVS Diplomate.
