Our History
Central Georgia Equine Services is owned and operated by Dr. Charlene Cook. The business began in 1988 with a small operation that has grown over the years to include modern facilities and advanced equipment. We have expanded our services to include state-of-the-art facilities, an isolation barn, a foaling barn, private paddocks, and double-fenced pastures situated on 70 acres of lush rolling pasture land.
Our Mission
We are committed to serving the horse owner in a professional and compassionate manner and to serve the horse with the best of our ability. Our goal is the best possible care for the horse, and we maintain an excellent working relationship with many experts in the industry for those special cases that need additional care. If we cannot fully attend to the needs of the patient, we will help the horse owner get the diagnosis and treatment by consultation and referral to leading authorities.
At Central Georgia Equine Services, we care for your horse as if it were our very own. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to our equine patients, ensuring that every horse receives the attention and care it deserves.
