Does anyone have any recommendations for an equine vet that will travel to Gig Harbor, Washington?
Looking for someone who will do a thorough and thoughtful PPE for a young eventer. 
There are only 2 vets on this side of the water that I will let touch my horses. One other that I haven’t personally used, but based on many friends’ references would be fine having do a PPE. There are several others that I won’t allow near a horse based on awful things I’ve seen and experienced personally.
What’s your goal? The most thorough exam possible? Only looking for issues if something is fairly major? Overall analysis of performance capability or strictly detailed analysis of the x-rays, etc.? X-rays? More? You can PM me or respond here and I will PM vet names contacts if you would like.
There is an excellent vet on Vashon. One of my trainers is based in Gig Harbor, I could ask her.
Tacoma Equine probably travels to Gig Harbor and would be worth considering. I have not used them myself but have friends who use them. I have observed their work and have heard little to no bad about them - which says something in and of itself. They are a multi-vet practice, and the principal vet hunts.
If money were no object, Dr. Nan Haberman is the only one I would have do one. Not sure if she travels to Gig Harbor but she might.

I second Tacoma Equine if they will go that far. I’ve always had good experiences with them. I had a buyer use Dr.Mandy Cha from Kulshan Veterinary hospital (36-354-5095) and it was very thorough. I think they are out of Bellingham area.
Thank you all for the responses! Fingers crossed everything goes well.
