Lameness and Pre-Purchase Examinations
Lameness evaluations are a significant part of our daily practice. We offer the time, expertise, and resources to help clients and their horses get back to work as soon as possible. Our diagnostic evaluations are tailored to the individual horse’s area of discipline and performance needs. During the evaluation we identify the source of lameness using a combination of trained observation, experience, flexions, diagnostic nerve blocks, radiographs and ultrasound. We then propose a treatment plan and therapeutic options specifically designed to meet the needs of you and your horse. Our objective is to understand your goals and to rehabilitate your horse in the safest and most cost-effective way possible.
In addition to lameness evaluations, we perform pre-purchase examinations on all disciplines and breeds. The pre-purchase examination is designed to provide the buyer and/or seller with the most information possible regarding the horse. This examination assists both parties in making an informed decision on the purchase. The ‘pre-purchase’ can range from a basic exam to an extensive lameness and medical evaluation including diagnostics, dependent on the buyer’s and/or seller’s needs.
