Meet Hope E. Kurth, Owner and Director

Hope Kurth has been keeping horses healthy for over 18 years, and owns and operates what we think of as the best lab in Marion County. Following high school, she joined the Air Force in 1988, where she received first rate laboratory training for two years, before practicing lab work with them for four. She then ran the lab for an equine hospital here in Ocala for eight years, before starting her own lab Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory LLC.

Hope joined forces with Ferguson & Associates, as the first owner-associate, bringing her lab, a world of expertise, and a precious heart with her, in 2012. She is certified by the USDA, APHIS, NVSL to provide equine infectious anemia (EIA) results and does so under the Ferguson umbrella.
