Sports Medicine and Lameness Examinations

We offer in-depth performance evaluations and lameness exams that consist of thorough static and dynamic assessment of the horse, complete with flexion tests, lunging, and gait evaluation on different surfaces. Diagnostic nerve and joint blocks are incorporated into the exam process to specifically identify areas of concern.

Upon request and/or when appropriate, horses may be evaluated under saddle. Further diagnostics such as imaging, saddle fit, bloodwork, nutrition consultation, and personalized rehabilitation programs are frequently used to complement the examination.

Our examination types include:

  • Performance Evaluations
  • Sports Medicine Examinations
  • Lameness Examinations
  • Pre-purchase Examinations
