Blue Ridge Equine Clinic Is Going Solar

November 18, 2016/in Uncategorized /by Dr. Donovan Dagner, DVM

We are excited to announce that Blue Ridge Equine Clinic has partnered up with Sigora Solar to install solar (photovoltaic) panels at the clinic in Earlysville. The system is scheduled to be installed starting December 13^th and should be finished by December 15^th. This just happens to coincide with our holiday open house on December 13^th (10am – 6pm) and we encourage you to visit and learn more about the clinic and how solar power works. Sigora Solar will have people available to answer any questions you might have for them.

The system being installed at Blue Ridge will have the capacity to generate roughly 29 kw or about 1/3 of the clinics electrical needs annually. Over the next 25 years that is enough power to equal 43 dump truck loads of coal and offset 1,240,245 lbs. of CO2 emissions. We are proud to be doing something to decrease our consumption and thankful for the money that will be saved over the life of the system.

THANKS to all of you who kept me and my horse Joe ( I'm Cotton-Eyed Joe) in your thoughts and prayers after his recent colic. Joe received EXCELLENT care and life-saving surgery from Blue Ridge Equine and Dr. Trostle. I am grateful for the experience of Dr. Trostle, the interns, the great care and frequent communication.

Nancy

Thank you so much for your excellent care and compassion shown to Zack and me during our visits to the clinic over the past few months. He is such a sensitive guy, and I love him so much – you made a scary and difficult time so much easier to bear. I always know my animals are safe in your hands! I hope you all know how grateful I am.

Edie

A heartfelt thank you for the tremendous work your team performed on Sprout and Lulu. The past 2 weeks have been an education for me on the vast medical resources available at BREC. I truly realized the extent and depth of veterinary talents within your organization. I feel totally blessed knowing you are there for me and my equines.

Penny

Thank you, Anne, Dr. Hecking, Dr. Moore, and Courtney for being so helpful through this whole journey, and for being respectful and compassionate to the end. I would recommend you all highly to anyone who is in need of a professional and caring veterinary clinic.

Sherri

Thank you so much, Anne, for your speedy reply and your consideration for giving me a little education in the process. This, along with the wonderful Dr. Hecking is the reason I want to be your customer! You all have a wonderful day.

Just thought you might like to see pictures of Willie and me checking out the ACTHA trail at the Horse Center. Willie and I are also back to taking dressage lessons, and hope to enter Dressage With a View at the Horse Center on June 30th! Just Intro A and B, but not too shabby for all he has been through. None of this would be possible without all of your hard work, expert care and belief in us. Thank you so much!
