Thomas was born and raised up in Mainz (Germany) where he found at the age of 8 his passion for riding. Since that time he is closely associated with the equestrian sport and is still active on competitions himself.

The fascination for horses took him to the veterinary medicine.

He wrote his doctor thesis in the field of diseases of the hoof- region (e.g. navicular disease) at the equine clinic „Burg Müggenhausen“. There he worked from 2008 to 2011 and gained the medical principles of equine orthopedics. During that time he has also attended many continuing education in clinics in France and the USA.

From 2012 until the end of 2013 he worked in the equine clinic „Binger Wald“, where he focused more and more on sports medicine, orthopedics and chiropractic treatments.

In January 2014 Thomas Stöckl took the step to independence and founded together with Elodie Weber the equine veterinary practice „TS Pferdepraxis“.

In April 2014, he passed the examination for „veterinary specialist for horses“ with the special field „orthopedics“.

Since 2015 Thomas participates regularly on “ISELP” trainings to refresh his orthopedic skills.
