Our Services
Explore Our Comprehensive Range of Services
dentistry
A thorough annual dental examination is important to identify and correct any malocclusions, sharp points, or periodontal disease before they cause an issue for the horse. We use a combination of hand tools and motorized equipment to make these corrections and restore balance between the incisors, molars and temperomandibular joint. Dental abnormalities can not only affect eating and how the horse accepts a bit but also other performance limiting issues such as bending and collection.
lameness & sports medicine
Lameness examinations and flexion tests allow us to diagnose a current soundness issue or to detect subtle subclinical changes which could be affecting performance. Diagnosis can sometimes involve diagnostic nerve/joint blocks, digital radiography and/or ultrasonography.
prepurchase examinations
Prepurchase exams include a thorough examination of the entire horse and involve a lameness exam with flexions, conformation assessment, heart and lung auscultation, as well as an ophthalmic evaluation. Diagnostic imaging is available at an additional cost.
reproduction
We offer limited on farm reproductive services such as pregnancy diagnosis and prebreeding exams.
diagnostic imaging
State of the art digital radiography and ultrasonography are available both in the clinic and out in the field.
field surgery
Surgeries are performed under injectable anesthesia and include procedures such as castrations, ophthalmic procedures, umbilical hernia repair and sequestrum removal.
