Equine Services

Age is not a disease, and with modern medicine, years of quality life can be added to those special horses living out their retirement. Our vets are passionate about geriatric dental care and nutrition and take on rusty stirrups with a smile.

Horses require different vaccines and levels of care depending on their activity and environment. We partner with our clients to help you decide what is best for your horses and custom tailor a vaccination and wellness program for each individual animal. We ensure vaccines are stored, maintained, and administered properly, and help enforce manufacturer based guarantees of efficacy. When your veterinarian vaccinates your horses, you can trust we will be there to support you every step of the way. 

Yearly wellness examinations are a standard of practice that we recommend to all clients looking to provide the best care possible to their furry giants. A comprehensive physical exam can help identify disease sooner, and regular nutritional guidance, as well as fecal testing and deworming recommendations, are becoming essential to maintaining health and quality of life. 

Horses routinely require dental planing or “floating” to ensure they are able to chew and swallow food comfortably, as well as accept a bridle and bit. Poor dental health can result in bad behavior, head shyness, as well as dental disease, malnutrition, and even choke and colic. Sedation dentistry offers a calm, positive, and safe experience for both animal and veterinarian while ensuring a proper oral examination is performed to find loose, cracked, or diseased teeth earlier.

We perform field surgery right at your farm to keep your horse comfortable in their own environment. From mass removals and laceration repairs to castrations (geldings), we perform high-quality surgical procedures using advanced techniques that result in low rates of post-surgical complication and infection.

Coggins testing is required for all horses in order to eliminate a deadly, untreatable, and highly contagious disease called Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA). To enforce this eradication program, horses must have an up-to-date negative Coggins test every year to leave their home farm. We provide timely Coggins test collection, submission and results return so you can worry less and ride more.

Lameness examinations and early diagnosis of disease play a key role in the longevity, prognosis, and quality-of-life of both performance and leisure horses. We combine keen eyes, years of sports medicine experience, and high-quality medicine with Digital X-Ray and Ultrasound to best diagnose and advise treatment for mild to severe lameness. From hoof abscesses to laminitis, we can help ensure your horse stays comfortable.

For the days when your horse just “Ain’t Doing Right,” we are here to help. We regularly diagnose and treat nasal discharge, coughing, respiratory issues, wounds, skin infections, eye injuries, and other common and uncommon ailments. We also help develop a biosecurity protocol should we diagnose a contagious infectious disease to help keep any other animals at your home safe and healthy.

We utilize state-of-the-art Ultrasound technology to safely and accurately diagnose and stage pregnancy in mares. Whether on the farm or in our clinic, our doctors can help answer the question that will help you prepare for months to come and help foster a healthy pregnancy by recommending a progressive pregnant mare vaccine protocol to reduce the risk of complications and pregnancy losses.
