The November 2021 Indoors Issue of The Plaid Horse is here! Dive into its pages, featuring ShowMD’s Barbara Blasko, here.
Whether it was a shoulder put back into place ringside instead of a trip to the emergency room, or a lifesaving diagnosis between classes, Dr. Barbara Blasko’s mobile concierge medical service, ShowMD, has been an addition to the horse show that many didn’t even know they needed.
While the board-certified emergency medicine physician has spent more than 20 years working in ERs, it is inside the ShowMD mobile health clinic where she has found her true calling. You’ll find her there at the Desert International Horse Park’s National Sunshine Series this month in Thermal, CA. Click here to read the cover story.
