Proper dental care is essential to peak performance for equine athletes. We provide dental examinations and both hand and power floating.

Surgery

We perform minor surgeries in the field such as castrations, laceration repair, biopsy sampling, and Vet-Stem procedures. If more extensive surgery is required, we will refer you to one of the local equine veterinary hospitals.

Emergency Services

To provide the highest level of care for our patients, we are available for emergencies, for our regular clients, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Lameness Exam

The lameness examination uses a combination of history from the owner, visual examination of the horse in motion, musculoskeletal palpation and manipulation, and variably using advanced imaging diagnostics (digital radiography, digital ultrasonography, nuclear scintigraphy and MRI) to determine the source of pain or decreased performance in the equine athlete. If a problem is diagnosed, we can provide numerous therapeutic treatments (from simple physical therapy or medications to IRAP, Stem Cell, or Shockwave) and will design a lay-up and rehabilitation program specific to your horse’s needs.

AVID Microchipping

Permanent identification for horses has taken a huge step forward with development of a modern network for tracking and recovery of missing and stolen animals. Microchips provide permanent, positive identification for all ownership issues:

  • Positive I.D. by law enforcement in theft recovery cases.
  • Emergency response teams scan all recovered animals following disasters.
  • Microchipped horses that have been registered in HORSEtrac™ can be quickly reunited with owners.
  • Verification that a horse to be transported is in fact the correct animal.
  • Provides quick identification of look-alike foals and yearlings
  • Microchips have been recommended as one method of permanent ID by the Equine Species Working Group for the USDA’s National Equine ID Program.

Included in the cost of the chip is lifetime enrollment in the AVID recovery network (nominal fee for change of registered information or ownership of horse).
