Nancy S. Loving, DVM

Dr. Nancy Loving’s interest in horses began at a young age and continues to figure prominently in both her professional and personal life. She has ridden in dressage and eventing, and in 1983 she discovered the unique challenges of distance riding. Since graduating from Colorado State University veterinary school in 1985, Loving has focused exclusively on equine medicine and surgery. She currently practices at her own Loving Equine Clinic in Boulder, Colo.



Loving has been involved in the endurance world as an FEI-sanctioned veterinarian and as team vet for the United States Equestrian Federation national endurance squad. She brings knowledge to these pursuits drawn from her own experience training and competing her endurance horses. 



Loving has authored five books, including her comprehensive equine health care publication All Horse Systems Go. Her other books include Go the Distance: The Complete Resource for Endurance Horses, Conformation and Performance, Veterinary Manual for the Performance Horse, and First Aid for Horse & Rider.  Loving regularly writes for The Horse and Horse Illustrated magazines.

  • Nancy Loving was my horse's vet for 10+ years and she is the most knowledgeable, compassionate, caring, insightful vet I have every had care for any of my animals. Her often-serious countenance illustrates her serious approach to horse care and to figuring out an issue, but it belies her great sense of humor, caring, and spunk! She's the best! I only wish we were still in the area.

  • I think Nancy is great, I would highly recomend her to anyone. I have used her services and still currently do.

  • I just read the article in HI by Dr. Nancy Loving titled Prevent Puffiness. I am the General Manager of Promat Inc. and we manufacture the STABLECOMFORT horse stall flooring system. Incidentally we advertise in HI and have for approx. 5+ years. In the article Nancy mentions rubber stall mats and suggests fastening these mats to the stall walls. I would like to introduce Dr. Nancy Loving to the STABLECOMFORT product as this is exactly what should be recommended in this article. We have many vet clinics and thousands of very satisfied horse owners using the STABLECOMFORT stall flooring system all over the world. When I read an article written by a vet and do not see any mention of this type of stall flooring I become disappointed quickly.
    Please send this on to Dr. Nancy Loving so that she can become aware of the wonderful benefits STABLECOMFORT provides the horse mainly and the horse owner as well.
    Thank you and please for the sake of horses throughout North America please send this message on.
    Yours truly,
