Our Practice

We are a three Doctor Equine Exclusive Practice located in the Southwest corner of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. 

We have a large farm and clinic as well as an active ambulatory practice. Dr. Grady is board certified in Theriogenology, which she focuses on exclusively during the breeding season. We breed over 100 mares are our clinic each year with fresh and frozen semen, and perform multiple embryo transfers and oocyte aspirations. Dr. Grady freezes semen and several stallions stand at the clinic each year.

In addition to our reproductive services, we offer general equine medicine and surgery, including lameness examinations. We have two digital ultrasound machines, two portable digital radiograph machines, a 1.5 m video endoscope, three Powerfloats, and two dental dremels. We see a variety of equine breeds and disciplines. We perform elective surgeries including castrations, enucleations, and cryosurgery. We do not perform orthopedic, abdominal, or arthroscopic surgeries.

Internship Information

2025-2026 Intern applications are currently open!

Durango Equine has offered an internship for over 18 years. The internship position can have a primary reproductive focus in the spring if the intern is interested in this field. Our internship prepares the intern for a theriogenology residency or general equine practice.

• The intern’s work includes assisting with/performing ultrasounds, mare and stallion breeding soundness exams, stallion collections, embryo retrievals, semen freezing, and oocyte aspiration procedures.
• The intern would practice general equine ambulatory medicine the rest of the year.
• Emergency duty is rotated among doctors at the clinic. The intern would initially be on emergency duty with another doctor, and then would be worked into the rotation with the other doctors as their comfort level increases.
• Salary details and other benefits for the internship are listed on the new AAEP Internship Hub.

Externships are available and strongly recommending for those interested in an internship.
