Services
Equine Vaccinations
Customized vaccination schedules protect horses against preventable diseases. Our veterinarians assess travel, environment, and activity level to determine optimal protocols. We administer core and risk-based vaccines following AAEP guidelines for foals and adult horses.
Lameness Services
Advanced diagnostics identify musculoskeletal issues affecting performance. We combine lameness exams with digital imaging to create treatment plans using joint injections, regenerative therapies, or shockwave technology for improved mobility and recovery.
Swim Therapy
Our 60-foot chlorinated pool provides low-impact conditioning and recovery. Swimming builds muscle strength while minimizing joint stress, ideal for post-surgery rehabilitation, EPM recovery, and athletic performance enhancement through controlled resistance training.
Reproduction Services
Comprehensive mare and stallion care includes artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and foaling monitoring. Our on-site lab processes cooled/frozen semen, while 24-hour surveillance ensures safe mare and foal care during critical periods.
Thermal Imaging
Since 2001, we've used thermal imaging to detect subclinical lameness through heat pattern analysis. This non-invasive technology identifies inflammation sources missed by physical exams, enabling precise treatment for complex musculoskeletal conditions.
