About

Battenkill Veterinary Equine was founded in 1984 as
a part of the Battenkill Veterinary Group by Dr. Kurt
Lutgens. As the practice grew to include 21
veterinarians the three practices of Battenkill
Veterinary separated into separate corporations.
Growth in the equine practice necessitated the
opening of the Equine Medicine and Surgery facility
in 1995.
Dr. Kurt Lutgens graduated from the NYS Veterinary
College at Cornell in 1978. Since that time he has
dedicated his proffesional career to Equine
Veterinary Medicine.
Currently Dr. Lutgens is joined by Dr. Velenchenko,
Dr. Scott Lutgens and support staff, Sabrina
Hitchcock LVT and Tammy Duel office manager.
Welcome to our practice and the individuals that
make it special.
