In the fall, your horse may spend more time in their barn. It’s a good idea to thoroughly check the barn’s interior for any hazards or rodents, and ensure adequate ventilation. Provide a good layer of bedding to keep them warm as temperatures drop. Monitor your horse’s food and water intake, as they may drink less water in cold weather and risk dehydration. Be cautious that increased sugar levels in grass can trigger laminitis.
Fall is also an excellent time to schedule a wellness exam with your veterinarian. Vaccines, dewormer, dental care, and bloodwork can all be performed and updated. (Ensure all your colic insurance requirements are up to date!) Don’t forget to schedule a visit with a farrier.
We can help you prepare for fall! Text or DM us to schedule an appointment.

Is Pro-Stride right for your horse? Pro-Stride is an evidence and research backed autologous protein solution consisting of white blood cells, platelets, and concentrated plasma used to treat horses with osteoarthritis. The white blood cells contain cytokines which contain anti-inflammatory properties that reduce pain. Platelets contribute growth factors that promote healing. The concentrated plasma contains anabolic growth factors and cytokines. This concentrated cell solution has been proven to reduce pain, inhibit cartilage damage and joint breakdown, and regulate inflammation, restoring a healthy environment within the joint. The injections have shown improvement in lameness, pain in flexion, gait analysis and range of motion observed. Improvement is seen within a few days, peaking at 2-4 weeks after injection, and lasting upward of a year. Using Pro-Stride also reduces the need for repeated corticosteroid injections. This solution can be prepared right in your barn, requiring just a centrifuge once a blood sample has been collected. DM if you think your horse could benefit from Pro-Stride!

Shockwave therapy may sound intimidating, but it uses high-speed sound waves to reduce inflammation and facilitate healing. These treatments stimulate fresh blood flow and the release of healing factors into injured or inflamed tissues. As a non-invasive modality, shockwave therapy proves effective for arthritis, soft tissue injuries, and muscle pain. Our portable machine allows us to administer treatments conveniently in your barn. Don’t hesitate to text or DM us to schedule a treatment today!

Lameness, a prevalent concern for horse owners, is defined as any alteration in the horse’s gait or stance. It often necessitates veterinary assessments due to its various causes, including arthritis, injuries, strains, infections, laminitis, and metabolic diseases. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for a favorable outcome.
Lameness exams typically involve reviewing the patient’s history, performing a flexion test, palpating the body and limbs, and observing the horse’s movements. The AAEP Lameness Scale aids in consistency for record-keeping and treatment planning, ranging from 0 (no lameness) to 5 (complete inability to bear weight or move). Veterinarians utilize all the information gathered during the evaluation to grade the lameness and develop a treatment plan. Radiographs and ultrasound can aid in diagnostics, while treatment options include injections, chiropractic adjustments, or shockwave therapy.
Give us a call, text, or DM if you need a lameness evaluation!

Class IV K-Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity laser light to promote healing and reduce pain. K lasers utilize specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to pe*****te deep into tissues, stimulate cellular activity. This process increases the production of cellular energy, which accelerates tissue repair, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and alleviating pain.
Class IV lasers have high power output, meaning it can reach deeper tissues like ligaments, tendons, and even bones. Laser treatments can help with many different issues, including soft tissue injuries, joint problems, and even wounds. Laser treatments can also be combined with other modalities, resulting in a better outcome for your equine athlete!

One of the primary causes of lameness in horses is inflammation. Once a joint becomes inflamed, further damage can occur to the tissues and cartilage within it. Inflammation can also lead to an accumulation of joint fluid (also known as synovial fluid) in the joint cavity, further exacerbating the inflammation. Removing some of the fluid can provide relief from pain, while injecting steroid medication or Prostride/PRP can aid in the healing process and break the pain cycle. For more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Shockwave therapy, a non-invasive treatment, uses sound waves to reduce pain and inflammation by stimulating the body’s natural healing process. The shockwave machine directs acoustic waves directly into injured tissues, helping to break up soft tissue calcifications, enhance collagen synthesis, release growth factors, and stimulate healing. This treatment also increases blood flow and activates cell metabolism, improving pain and helping the horse stay active. Shockwave therapy is particularly beneficial for patients with acute or chronic injuries, arthritis, or foals suffering from angular limb deformity. It can be effectively combined with other treatment modalities. If your horse is experiencing an injury, arthritis, or pain, shockwave therapy can be a wonderful treatment option.
