Welcome to Rocky Branch Veterinary Services
Rocky Branch Veterinary Services is built on a foundation of dedication, expertise, and a deep respect for animals. Led by Dr. Toby Sheely, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and seasoned equine veterinarian, our clinic is committed to providing personalized care that meets the unique needs of each horse. Dr. Sheely’s diverse background, from his military service to working with endangered Hawaiian Monk Seals, shapes the compassionate and professional approach he brings to veterinary medicine.
Dr. Sheely, along with his wife Susan, has made River Falls, Wisconsin, their home for the past 15 years, raising their two grown children and a variety of small animals. The family enjoys spending time outdoors, trail riding, backcountry camping, and traveling—activities that further enhance their understanding of the bond between horse and owner.
When you trust Rocky Branch Veterinary Services, you’re not just choosing a clinic; you’re choosing a team that genuinely cares for your horse’s health and well-being. From preventive care to emergency services, we’re here to support your equine companion through every stage of life.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
