Robert Magnus, DVM

Background: I was raised on a large Paso Fino breeding and training farm in
Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. I showed throughout the United States and was fortunate to have trained and shown three National Champions. I married Gina, the love of my life, in veterinary school and went on to the University of Tennessee to do an internship in large animal medicine and surgery. We moved back to Wisconsin in 1988 and purchased a small farm where we enjoy all of our animals (thirty some) with our two daughters Carey and MacKenzie.

Hobbies: I enjoy the menagerie of animals on our farm. Whether riding my gelding "Illuminares" or collecting eggs in the chicken coop, it’s nice to live in the country. Five years ago I started racing sailboats in Oconomowoc. It has been a humbling sport. I enjoy many other activities including downhill skiing, water skiing, basketball, and following our Green Bay Packers. In the winter as time permits you may find me in my basement struggling with a woodworking project

Medical Interests:In addition to a strong  
interest in equine dentistry, I find working with the equine athlete on performance related injuries both challenging and stimulating. With the advances in diagnostic options such as ultrasound and other imaging tools it is rewarding to help both the performance and pleasure horse return to work.
