We continue to receive questions about the building at Gilmer and Fremont Center. I saw this on the Northern Lakes Equine Practice facebook page.


Big things are happening behind the scenes at Northern Lakes Equine Practice!

We’re so excited to share the progress on our future NLEP home. Watching this space come together has been such a special journey. We are hopeful to move in sometime this summer.
