EquiManagement has published its annual outlook under the title "The State of Equine Practice in 2026," addressing the pressures and priorities facing equine veterinarians in the coming year.

The publication did not supply the full text of the report with its announcement. The Vet Scope will update this story as details of the findings become available.

What is the report about?

The title places the piece in EquiManagement's recurring series on the business and clinical realities of equine practice. The series traditionally covers practice economics, staffing, and clinical trends that affect ambulatory and hospital-based equine work.

Readers should treat the specific contents of the 2026 edition as pending until the full report is accessible.

Why it matters at the barn

Annual outlooks of this kind typically set the agenda for practice owners deciding on hiring, pricing, and service lines for the year. Equine practitioners, bovine-adjacent mixed practices, and industry suppliers use these assessments to plan capital and staffing commitments.

The Vet Scope has not independently verified the report's contents and will not characterize findings it has not reviewed.

EquiManagement's full publication is expected to circulate through its regular channels, and this story will be revised once the report text is obtained.
