Olde Towne Equine - Dr. Kate Moga DVM, ACCC/AVCA

Dr. Moga is absolutely amazing! She came out on an emergency call when my OTTB mare, Lassie, tried to scalp herself. The damage turned out to be much worse than we initially thought, and I was out of town at the time. Dr. Moga went above and beyond to keep me informed, sharing pictures and providing recommendations for caring for Lassie's wound. She did an exceptional job stitching her up, and I’m thrilled to say Lassie healed beautifully with barely a scar. I cannot recommend Dr. Moga highly enough for her skill, compassion, and dedication.

I have used Dr Moga for my horse and donkey care for about five years. She is thorough and compassionate but sensible. She understands that we think of our animals as part of our family. She carefully explains her examinations, diagnosis, and recommendations. She patiently answers our many questions. She respects the fact that our children participate in the care of our animals and includes them in conversations on how to care for our horses. She even showed our granddaughter how to do exercises with her new horse to help him be more flexible. Dr. Moga has as excellent rapport with the doctors at the veterinary school at Va Tech. She was able to quickly get our deeply loved and gravely ill mare an appointment at Tech so that she could be treated by the highly skilled team of caregivers there. I highly respect Dr. Moga. I appreciate that she is willing to come to our not so fancy often muddy hobby farm to loving care for our little herd.

Dr. Moga has been my only equine vet for the past 9 years. She is an exceptionally hard working Dr. that honestly cares about mine and my client's horses. My show horses would not excel without her dedication and knowledge. From dentistry, vaccinations, chiropractic to lameness she does everything for my horses!

I am very glad that Kate has been my horses' vet for the past couple of years! In the past I used a practice that sent a different young vet to my barn every time. Kate understands that we have a relationship with our horses, and takes the time to listen to my concerns about my horses and our needs, and is always helpful with carefully considered, knowledgeable care. I would recommend her with no reservations.

We had a mare on the farm I was boarding at who had odd bloodwork and was going into false pregnancies. Our normal vet stopped practicing briefly while on maternity leave so this owner consulates Dr Moga who came out did a thorough exam and told the owner that she suspected the mare to be pregnant because there was stud donkey on the farm and wanted to pull blood. When she told that owner her pony was pregnant it raised alarm to everyone on the farm. I consulted Dr Moga and had blood pulled on my mare to be sure she was not subjected to the donkey as well. A few days past and she calls me telling me my mare is defiantly pregnant and she is sorry. I was so puzzled because I was sure she had no access to the stud. I of course panicked because my pony has foundered in the past ( this would be a high risk pregnancy not to mention I no where near wanting a mule foal.)I asked about options and if aborting a foal due to high risk pregnancy was an option if she was in early pregnancy. She told “ there is no way to do that.” After a heated altercation with barn owner calling him irresponsible with his inability to keep his donkey from my mare i started asking around. Doing research, I find out that though it isn’t preferred you can in fact abort foals if early enough. I know it isn’t ethical and I wouldn’t have considered it but again having a mare who would be a high risk pregnancy I had to consider my options. Another vet gave me the name a facitlity 60+ miles from me who could better help us explore our options. Fast forward to another couple weeks, I call to schedule an appointment and I trailer my mare ALL the way out to bluemont to the fabulous vets of Equine Reproductive concepts. When we pull her into the barn and do an ultrasound and discuss our options..... her uterus was empty my mare was NOT pregnant. We all jaw dropped in disbelief. The vets asked to see the bloodwork she pulled and confirmed that she didn’t even test the correct hormone in the bloodwork to confirm the pregnancy. SO another 500$ her mistake coat me. Honestly, I wasn’t even mad just relieved we are human and make mistakes. When I called Dr Moga to let her know that my mare wasn’t pregnant and that the wrong hormone had been tested she immediately became defensive and tried discredit the ultrasound and vet. The whole conversation was completely unprofessional with her attempted to belittle me.!Side note... the other mare she diagnosed as pregnant, wasn’t pregnant either. All the money was wasted on “prenatal care” for nothing.
