Regular check-ups play an important role in keeping your horse healthy and catching concerns early.

Lameness Exams and Diagnostic Care

Lameness can affect any horse, from performance athletes to pasture companions. Subtle changes in movement or behavior are often the first sign something is not right.

Our veterinary team takes a thorough approach to lameness evaluations. We assess movement, identify the source of discomfort, and develop a treatment plan that fits your horse’s needs and workload. Early evaluation can help prevent small issues from becoming long-term problems.

Pre-Purchase Exams for Confident Decisions

Buying a horse is a meaningful investment. A pre-purchase exam gives you a clearer understanding of a horse’s health and soundness before making that decision.

Our veterinarians perform detailed evaluations tailored to your intended use, helping you move forward with confidence and fewer surprises.

Equine Dental Care and Floating

Dental health plays a key role in your horse’s comfort, nutrition, and performance. Uneven wear or sharp points can lead to pain, difficulty eating, and behavioral changes.

Regular dental floating ensures your horse’s teeth stay properly aligned and functional. If you notice your horse dropping grain, fighting the bit, or struggling to maintain weight, it’s likely time to schedule a dental checkup.

Reproductive Services and Foal Care

From breeding management to early foal care, our veterinary team supports you through each stage.

We offer reproductive ultrasound services to monitor mares and assist with breeding plans. Once foals arrive, we provide early health evaluations to help them get off to a strong start.

Preventative Care and Wellness

Routine wellness care helps your horse stay healthy year-round. Regular exams allow us to monitor changes, discuss nutrition, and address concerns before they progress.

Preventive care typically involves:

Physical exams

Vaccination guidance

Parasite control recommendations

General health monitoring

Consistent veterinary visits are one of the best ways to protect your horse’s long-term health.

Acupuncture and Spinal Manipulation

Some horses benefit from additional support for comfort and mobility. Our veterinary team offers acupuncture and spinal manipulation as part of an integrated approach to care.

These services may help with:

Muscle soreness

Performance issues

Mobility concerns

Recovery support

We will work with you to determine if these options are appropriate for your horse.
