Nicole Bone, LVT

Nicole Bone has always loved horses. Growing up as a self-described city kid who desperately wanted to be a country kid, she found her way into the equine world while working at a therapeutic riding stable. That experience inspired her to pursue an equine education at Michigan State University.

Nicole later spent 14 years at a large emergency hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, where she supported the care of thousands of equine patients. Today, she brings that depth of experience to SVEC, working closely with the veterinary team in surgery, anesthesia and patient care.

Outside of work, Nicole enjoys life with her husband, their black Lab, Louis, and their black cat, Miss Kitty.

I am an anesthesia consultant for Saginaw Valley Equine Clinic.

I absolutely love equine anesthesia. It can be very rewarding when you have an emergency and you are able to stabilize the patient when they otherwise wouldn’t make it.

Being able to remain calm in emergencies and applying learned knowledge to those situations. I also believe that teaching others is one of my greatest skills.

By working and explaining everything to the horse’s owner, they have the peace of mind knowing that their animal is in the hands of someone experienced.
