Back to Greatness or Only the Best

Our veterinarians have the training and the equipment to diagnose and treat many lameness and sports medicine problems at our location or on your farm. Our clinic setting provides a warm, weather-friendly facility where we can efficiently work up any lameness issue from the simple to the very involved, or work with horses that are referred from outside of our practice area.

Lameness Examination

All lameness exams begin with a discussion of the horse’s history and a physical exam. Most exams include an evaluation of the horse in motion, in hand or under saddle, and flexion tests. Other diagnostic tools such as nerve and joint blocks can help to isolate the lameness to a particular area of the limb. Digital radiography and ultrasound are often used to diagnose the cause of the lameness.

Lameness Therapies

Once a diagnosis has been determined we offer a variety of therapies to help your horse become more comfortable and heal. Some of our therapies include Laser Therapy, Joint Injections, Supplements, and Drug Therapy.

Pre-Purchase Exams

At our facility or on the farm, our pre-purchase exams include a thorough physical examination, an eye exam, a musculoskeletal evaluation, and a soundness evaluation via flexion test. In addition to our basic pre-purchase exams, we encourage our client to utilize our portable digital radiography and endoscopy for further evaluation.
