Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy: using two portable machines for on-site treatment of acute and chronic conditions for horses that cannot be maintained on nonsteriodal, anti-inflammatory medications or that are showing under medication rules; beneficial for conditions such as:
-
Bowed tendons
-
Suspensory ligament injuries
-
Back pain
-
Bone spavin of the hocks

Acupuncture
-
Veterinary orthopedic manipulation (a form of chiropractics)

Chinese herbs
Hoof Care
Therapeutic shoeing and trimming: our doctors were trained at Kentucky Horseshoeing School and provide service to treat high-end laminitis, developmental deformities, and hoof injuries. Glue-on shoes are a specialty, as well as hospital/treatment plates.
​
Metron hoof analysis: used in conjunction with digital radiography, this software system provides a measured hoof report for your farrier.
Equinosis Q Lameness Locator
A recent addition which has proven to be lifechanging for our clients, their horses, and us as veterinarians.
​
The Equinosis Q is a sensor based lameness system that detects asymmetry in the horses gait.
It’s great for a preseason check up, a purchase exam, or anytime we are presented with a lame horse. It detects 2mm of asymmetry where the human eye only does 8 if trained!
​
It can detect lameness in horses that may not show lameness until many hours or miles or days of work. It can also help us detect percent improvement after a nerve block. It can help us on recheck after treatment to tell us improvement percentagen. It can also tell us if the gait changes with flexion. We love it!
Sleip Lamness Diagnostic Tool
A new tool that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze movement in videos to detect and quantify gait asymmetries.
​
Canine Lameness Solutions
​We now offer several services to aid in diagnosis and relief for your canine companion's lameness, including:
-
Sensor Based Lamness Examination using Sleip and Equinosis​
-
Acupuncture and Chiropractic
-
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
-
Cold Laser
-
Joint Injection using:
-
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)​
-
Synthetics
-
Hyaluronate
-
-
Monoclonal Antibody - Librela
-
Adequan
-
Novel NSAID - Galiprant
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Stall side PRP or platelet rich plasma therapy. We have the Provet APC system by DECHRA.
This enables us to use the horse's own blood and treat joints / tendons / ligaments such as hocks, fetlocks, coffin joints, backs, flexor tendons, suspensory ligaments and necks.
This therapy is especially useful for horses that cannot have steroids.
Serum Amyloid A Blood Test
A stall side blood test that enable us to detect inflammation or infection often before there is a fever or before the white blood cell count changes!
Electrocardiogram
Portable EKG for evaluation of the heart in poor performance cases or geriatric patients.
Video Endoscopic Evaluation
Used to assess upper and lower airway function, respiratory disease, coughs, and breathing issues.
Ophthalmic Evaluation
Stall-side tonometry and ultrasonography to evaluate the eyes to check for uveitis, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and other diseases of the equine eye.
Tono-Pen
Used in part with our Ophthalmic Evaluations, a quick and easy method to test for glaucoma in horses with only a light touch to the cornea!
Fecal Testing
A test to identify the parasite type and egg count present in your horse's manure. This information allows for a better informed deworming schedule, preventing uncessary over-deworming that can lead to resistant parasites.
Microchip
A tiny microchip that contains a personal, one-of-a-kind identification number for your horse. It is injected under the skin where it remains safely for life and can be read with the use of a microchip scanner. This personal number can be registered with PETtrac®, a global recovery network that has helped find thousands of pets.
Injections
An intramuscular bisphosphonate injection that helps allieviate the symptoms of navicular and bone pain.
A joint injection used to manage lameness issues, joint pain, and osteoarthritis. A naturally derived particulate matrix that mimics natural cartilage and provides a relatively long-term benefit after a single application. It's been safely used on humans, dogs, and horses!
Laser Therapy
The application of laser light over injuries and lesions to stimulate healing within those tissues
Emergency Care
Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to clients in good standing. If you have an emergency with your horse after hours, please call our main office number, and you will be directed to call the doctor on call. We have recently partnered with Piedmont Equine in The Plains to help provide emergency services for our clients.
