This report describes the Supervised Curricular Internship in Veterinary Medicine conducted in the area of Equine Clinical Medicine and Surgery at Clínica Hípica, located in Sociedade Hípica Porto Alegrense, Porto Alegre/RS, from September 15 to December 23, 2014, totaling 450 hours. The activities involved included routine care, emergency and urgent care with the highest prevalence in the musculoskeletal (62.87%), digestive (23.95%), and respiratory (5.99%) systems. The report details the activities performed, diagnoses established, and discussion of four clinical cases: colic due to enterolithiasis, chronic laminitis, osteoarthritis of the metacarpophalangeal joint, and peritonitis secondary to rectal rupture. The experience was fundamental for the author’s academic training, enabling technical improvement, critical thinking development, and the consolidation of knowledge gained during undergraduate studies.
