Dr. John McCarroll is one of the most respected and beloved veterinarians in the equine world. As the owner and DVM of Equine Medical Associates, Dr. John has built a career dedicated to keeping performance horses healthy and competitive. He has worked with the McQuay and McCutcheon families for over 37 years, becoming an integral part of their program and a trusted partner in all aspects of horse care.

In this episode, Tom, Gunny, and Joe sit down with Dr. John to talk about his incredible journey — from how he got his start in veterinary medicine to becoming one of the most trusted names in the industry. They share stories of the many horses he’s worked on, including the unforgettable case of a mare who could barely put weight on her leg — and later carried NRHA $3M Rider Mandy McCutcheon to her first NRHA Non Pro Futurity win.

This heartfelt conversation is full of industry history, fascinating veterinary insight, and a deep appreciation for the man who has made such a lasting impact on so many horses and their careers.
