🌟What works for many horses doesn't work for every horse🌟

Usually Dr. Daly uses a dental halter hung over the stall door to suspend a patient's head. Miss Blue was having none of that. 😡 She has a history of front foot pain and at the prime age of 28, she no doubt has some arthritis settling in.

Dr. Daly recognized that Blue preferred to stand resting her hind end against the back wall for extra support. So instead of forcing Blue to stand in a way that wasn't comfortable for her, we brought the exam to her! We also added .ride boots on her front feet for added comfort.

All in all Blue did a great job and got the dental care she needed! 💕

After a VERY long hiatus from social media we are back and starting off with a good one! This case highlights the importance of looking a little deeper than skin deep.

This guy was found in the morning by his owner quite distressed with an area of selling on his neck. Ultrasound exam showed not just the wood shard you see sticking out of his neck, but another foreign body embedded under the skin.

Dr. Daly made a surgical incision over the foreign body and extracted it using forceps. Repeat ultrasound showed no additional pieces of wood. With a little time and conservative medical treatment this guy is expected to do just fine!

Our 2025 Wellness Plans are out just in time for the new year. New for this year, we're excited to offer an extension of our already popular Performance Plan, which was originally created to serve our equine athletes.

Our new Performance Plus Plan now includes radiographs of the front and hind feet. As a benefit of this plan, Dr. Daly will also work closely with your farrier to develop an individualized trimming and shoeing plan for your horse to improve their comfort level and athletic performance by improving the foot’s function.

In our experience, overlooking the feet of a performance horse (or any horse really!) is overlooking the entire horse. No feet; no horse. A performance assessment must begin by looking closely at the feet of a horse, including using radiographs to look within the foot. Common findings include a lack of sole depth, side to side imbalance and an improper alignment of the bony column. Like many of our horse owners, you may find that correcting the biomechanics of your horse's feet gives you a whole new horse, or at least one that feels that way!

Deadline for enrollment and payment is 2/28/2025.
