Hi Fredrick...here's a formal answer of what is an equine vet and what they do:
Equine Veterinarian
In partnership with the horse owner, an Equine Veterinarian is responsible for the physical health of the horse. Equine Veterinarians are responsible for preventative health care as well as treatment of diseases and injuries. An Equine Veterinarian's job can vary from administering vaccines against disease, to treating wounds and lameness, assisting delivery of a foal and even performing surgery. Operating a private veterinary practice often demands long hours, physical exertion, and lots of driving between farm calls. Equine Veterinarians may specialize in a specific area of horse health care. Similar to human medicine, Equine Veterinary specialties include surgery, internal medicine, orthopedics, theriogenology (reproduction), opthamology and many others.
Equine Veterinarians must receive their Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (DVM). In order to qualify for admission to Veterinary School, a student must first complete at least three years of college education in Biological and Physical Sciences or Animal Science. Most successful veterinary school applicants have earned a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in one of these areas of study. Most veterinary degree programs involve an additional four years of study to obtain the DVM. In order to practice, all veterinarians must then become board certified by passing both an oral and written exam issued by the state in which they wish to practice. Currently some states require an additional internship period while others do not. Admission to Veterinary School is very competitive. High academic achievement in college as well as practical experience is required. Most veterinary graduates complete a one to two year internship after receiving their DVM. In order to specialize, a DVM must complete an internship, residency and pass a specialist examination to be fully certified in that area of veterinary medicine.
The average income for an Equine Veterinarian varies based on the region in which they practice and the type of practice in which they work. The overall national average is $50,000 to $60,000 per year. Joining the staff of a group practice or larger veterinary hospital often provides a benefits package.

Equine, much like the word equestrian refers to horses, so an equine vet is a vet that specializes in horses. Hope this helps :)

in maximum equine jobs the extra promptly you artwork with the animal, the less money you're making. in case you do no longer like it, then i would not propose working in this container. I surely have a b.s. in animal technology and equine technology. I stay and breath my activity. its annoying artwork and long hours. you could no longer consistently look at how plenty money you're making. you additionally could make a million money and awaken to a job you hate and be depressing. remember you will try this activity for an prolonged time. locate something you will possibly prefer to evoke to popular and can savour and be smitten by. the money will come. no starts out creating plenty besides. there are various equine careers without being a vet, inspite of the undeniable fact that as quickly as lower back, in case you in basic terms observing the money, its no longer likely for you. attempt an place of work activity like a attorney or working as much as be a CEO, they have a tendency to earn extra money.

I'll say this briefly unlike Seattle. It is a vet that specializes in horses and sometimes does large animals on the farm. (in town if you have a big dog maybe)
