Dr. Cardenas recently volunteered to present over Equine Lameness to our local pony club. He was professional, kind, and knowledgeable! I know the kids learned a lot from his presentation and we are grateful for his time.

Dr. Cardenas was incredibly generous with his time educating our pony club on common soundness issues and how to recognize and treat them. This investment of his time will not only make them better horse owners and riders, but inspired a few to pursue equine medicine! Thank you, Dr. Cardenas!!!!

First time dealing with Fernando and he was the first vet out of three to find the problem with my horse! Super nice. Fit me into schedule and checked up on us!

Exceptional care, above and beyond anything we've ever experienced with an equine veterinary service. Plenty of excellent vets in the Triangle to choose from, but it's the extraordinary relationship with each and every vet within the practice that stands out for us. Feeling 100% comfortable with any medical professional is a personal game changer & especially helpful with dealing with a "patient" as challenging as an unsound horse.An individual approach to each horse is also refreshing, there is no "one size fits all" mentality. Multiple options/levels of care are also provided, always conscious of the overall cost to the horse owner.The huge variety of services is another outstanding feature within their ever evolving practice. From acupuncture, to chiro, to rehab, 3H has it all.

They're the best. We took in a rescue who faced some serious health challenges at 25 years old. 3H dove in with us and showed up every single day going above and beyond to beat the odds and help us get her healthy again. We're really critical customers with high expectations, and they met our expectations with ease and then some. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to 3H.

We’ve been working with 3H Equine for 17 years and have always appreciated, no matter the vet we were working with, their competent, compassionate care for our horses and pony and miniature donkeys, and the special care they have given to my senior horses. I also appreciate very much, as I know it is not always the case with vets, that they listen to and consider my thoughts and observations. We’ve worked with them from basic health and wellness to gelding to senior horse care, and when we’ve had the occasional emergency over the years they get here quickly and I know my equines are in the best of hands. Highly recommend this knowledgeable, creative, and caring practice.

Vets and techs are rude, unorganized and unprofessional. Same with the office staff. They are always loosing blood test and put information in incorrectly on coggins test. This in not something that happened just on eve either. This is consistent I do not recommend. There are better vets

I will always be incredibly grateful for the compassionate, comprehensive care Dr. Cardenas gave our pony after she suffered a major injury. Needless to say, it was a very emotional journey, but Dr. Cardenas was caring and patient with me as he explained her progress and helped me understand what to expect. He was also very kind to my daughter when we visited our pony at the farm. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We always felt welcomed and valued. The facilities are top notch and he used a variety of strategies to help our pony carefully heal. We call our pony "The Miracle Pony" but I know she is here because of the care she got at 3H. Enthusiastically recommend!

I have been a client of Dr. Cardenas since moving to NC in 2018. He and the staff have kept my 3 sport horses in great shape for dressage training and competition. My schoolmaster, Joe, fractured his coffin bone in a pasture accident last fall. I decided to put Joe at the 3H clinic for rehab in Jan. Joe received the best of care...stall rest, treadmill work, controlled turnout, and initial under saddle work. During his time at the clinic I received regular updates from Fernando, and pictures and videos of him in treatment. He's now back at home, in daily work, and looks great.

Dr. Cardenas and his staff provided excellent care to my daughter's mare, Ivy. Ivy was diagnosed with a significant tendon injury by a mobile vet and had a related wound on her fetlock. Dr. Cardenas' diagnostic equipment and skill led to Ivy being treated appropriately and his team's application of the laser to the wound was game changing. Furthermore, 3H's rehabilitative plan added strength and balance to her as she recovered. As we live several hours away, we stayed in touch mainly by text and phone and 3H was responsive and supportive of us as we navigated a new facet of horse ownership. Also, the facility is clean and spacious.

I had a great experience with 3H, all the way from the front desk being very knowledgeable about costs, and scheduling, to the medical team that came out and visited my horses. The Dr gave our newly acquired old horse a thorough checkup, we talked about his diet in detail, and discussed different strategies to keep him eating and help him continue to gain weight.

Absolutely love 3H! Have been a client now for about three years and have nothing but good things to say. Vets and techs are professional, kind, and great to work with.

Dr. Cardenas and the entire team at 3H did a phenomenal job helping me navigate through undiagnosed lameness in a special horse that came into my life. With the working tenet of “no risk, no reward,” Dr. Cardenas did a thorough, systematic, and thoughtful musculoskeletal evaluation while concurrently introducing balanced and graded physical rehab work. With no drugs or gimmicks, just time and physically/anatomically correct movement and work, this horse steadily improved. The graded rehab program got him back to his “normal job” (as an adult / children’s hunter) and he is now settling into his life with our family. Importantly, while he was at 3H, this horse’s brain and personality were acknowledged and appreciated by the entire staff and he received the love and attention that he deserved.

Outstanding, unparalleled care for my horse!!!Dr Cardenas is incredibly bright, innovative, caring, and a truly brilliant diagnostician and rehabilitation specialist. When no one could determine what was wrong with our horse, Dr Cardenas took a step-by-step approach to a highly complex issue, using world class technology and techniques to pinpoint the issue. Once determined, 3H has state-of-the-art rehabilitation approaches and faculty who took our horse from lame to sound. I cannot say enough about the medical practice, general equine daily care, and the caring nature of each team member. Everyone was friendly, answered all of our questions, and was genuinely concerned about our horse. He was so happy at 3H we almost felt guilty getting him back to work!The Office Manager for 3H, Deon Spencer, is incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and trustworthy, and helped us with every step of the process. The rehab team is outstanding. Finally, Dr Cardenas is truly world class and we are grateful that we have this amazing resource in our community- and even more grateful that they cared for our beloved horse.
