Acupuncture has been around for 3,000 years in horses and can be used independently or in conjunction with laser therapy and other pain management options. 

GASTROSCOPY

CLASS IV LASER THERAPY

This is a quick, non-invasive alternative approach to reducing pain and inflammation in your horse. Laser therapy is a therapeutic modality commonly used for soft tissue injuries, muscle pain, laminitis and enhanced wound healing.

INTRA-ARTICULAR INJECTIONS

Many horses have degeneration within their joints causing stiffness and reduced performance. We provide intra-articular injections using a combination of hyaluronic acid, steroid and antibiotics as well as regenerative medicine therapies such as IRAP.

​A brief lameness examination is performed prior to any injection, to exclude any other possibility of unsoundness as well as to monitor response to therapy.

We offer fresh semen artificial insemination and will provide you with information for post breeding nutrition and overall care for your mare. We offer new foal exams and will help guide you in the right direction to raise a happy healthy foal. ​
