T-Bone built Brazos Valley Equine Hospital in 1967. Charlie always knew he would follow in his father's footsteps and become an equine veterinarian. Charlie graduated from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 1997 (in Charlie's words, "eight long and tortured years there"). Upon graduation, Charlie went straight into practice. In 2006, Charlie left Navasota to head up BVEH's branch in Stephenville that is now Signature Equine Hospital. Charlie's main focus is sports medicine. Hunting is an activity he likes to pick up when he has time; quail and dove are his favorite. Charlie raises and partners on cutting horses. Among being a very dedicated equine veterinarian and having active hobbies on the side, Charlie's top priority is his wife and two daughters.
