In addition to our ambulatory services, you can ship your horses into our clinic. 

This is a great a option for our clients who are outside of our ambulatory area or whose farms may not be amenable for certain procedures. 

Additionally, we offer in-clinic boarding for treatment of non-infectous, non-critical conditions, rehabilitation and layover. 

Prior to the investment of purchasing a new horse, a complete pre-purchase examination is highly recommended. 

The format can be tailored to the individual needs of the client. This includes but is not limited to a thorough physical examination from head to tail and a performance evaluation in hand, under saddle or on a lunge line. Imaging, digital radiography, is encouraged to establish a baseline of skeletal findings.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and  gastroscopic exam are among additional ancillary procedures available.

Lameness exams can be performed at the farm, event, or at our clinic. The exam consists of an in-depth evaluation of the horse, focusing on performance, history and rider/trainer feedback. The horse is observed in hand, on the lunge, and often under saddle. If lameness is evident, the source of lameness can be localized via diagnostic analgesia (nerve blocks). Imaging modalities are further utilized to help determine lameness and performance causes.

Farrier Consultations

We believe it is important to work closley with your farrier. The doctors at Equine Wellness and Performance routinely communicate with the farrier involved in the case. Our doctors discuss with the farrier the exam and diagnostic results. We also encourage farriers with interesting or difficult cases to arrange to have the horse’s feet trimmed or shod at the clinic. At that time, radiographs can be taken to provide important information regarding foot balance. This then affords the opportunity for the farrier to consult with one or more of the doctors on staff about shoeing methods and recommendations for that particular horse.

Equine Wellness and Performance offers Laser Therapy for our clients including a laser rental program. 

Our FEI approved lasers work at the cellular level to increase metabolism, improve blood flow and fight infection 

Benefits of Laser Therapy include: 

• Performance Improvement: Comfortable and healthy horses perform longer. Use lasers for pre-event conditioning and post event recovery 
• Injuries: From superficial wounds to muscle tears to soft tissue injuries to tendon and ligament injuries, lasers help manage pain, reduce inflammation and accelerate wound healing
• Degenerative Conditions:  Lasers help with conditions such as osteoarthritis, laminitis, kissing spine, and stifle,  and fetlock synovitis 
• Post Surgical: Use to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing and minimize scarring

The therapeutic effects of equine acupuncture date back to 2000-3000 BC in China. 

These traditional Chinese techniques involve inserting thin needles, at various depths, to stimulate specific points throughout the patient’s body. These acupuncture points are areas of increased electrical sensitivity. 

Acupuncture can increase circulation, assist in the relief of muscle spasms, improve immunity, and provide numerous other benefits. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine also involves the use of numerous herbal formulations, many of which can be used in conjunction with Western medicines.
