How We Approach Poor Performance Cases in Horses

At Galedin, we know how frustrating it can be when your horse isn’t performing at their best. Whether it's a sudden drop in speed, reluctance to jump, or general fatigue, poor performance can have a significant impact on both you and your horse.

Here’s how we help:

🐴 Thorough assessment to identify issues from lameness to internal conditions
🐴 Advanced diagnostics using cutting-edge imaging and tests
🐴 Collaborative care tailored to your horse’s specific needs
🐴 Targeted treatment plans including rehab, medication, or procedures
🐴 Ongoing support to track recovery and adjust as needed

Understanding Nerve Blocks in horses 🐴

Nerve blocks are an essential diagnostic tool used by our vets to pinpoint pain and identify specific issues, commonly in your horse's limbs or back.

Here's how it works:

• We inject a local anaesthetic near specific nerves, temporarily blocking sensation in the area

• This helps us determine which part of the body is causing discomfort and allows us to better diagnose conditions like lameness or injury

• The process is quick, safe, and usually pain-free, making it a key step in ensuring your horse gets the precise care it needs

If you have concerns about your horse’s mobility or signs of pain, don't hesitate to reach out to us on 01361 883742.
