History
Dr. Bill Rood and Dr. Tom Riddle formed their practice partnership in 1982, and opened Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in 1986 when they saw a need for an additional referral hospital in Lexington to handle the area’s ever-growing horse population. Since then the practice has grown to include more than 50 veterinarians and a staff of over 200 – all dedicated to do the best for the horse. In 2007, Rood & Riddle further expanded its services by opening the Rood & Riddle Veterinary Pharmacy.
Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital PSC is owned by 14 veterinarians. Joining the founding partners, Rood and Riddle are Dr. Rolf Embertson, Dr. Scott Pierce, Dr. Larry Bramlage, Dr. Scott Hopper, Dr. Debbie Spike-Pierce, Dr. Scott Ahlschwede, Dr. Alan Ruggles, Dr. Bart Barber, Dr. Scott Morrison, Dr. Chris Newton, Dr. Jeff Cook, and Dr. Brett Woodie.
