Update (3/24): While we are aware of the current "stay-at-home" order in place in Illinois, we also understand that our pets still need to be taken care of. Therefore after discussing with Riverstone Animal Hospital, we have decided to keep our Horse Health Day for this Saturday, March 28th (from 10am to 12pm). We request that those who attend to please stay at their trailers and do not socialize with other attendees. The office will be closed but you will have the ability to call in and make your payment via credit card or pay via check.
