Fully equipped vehicles enable on-site treatment for colic, injuries, and reproductive emergencies. Immediate response ensures timely stabilization for horses requiring advanced hospital intervention.
Diagnostic Imaging
State-of-the-art diagnostics include digital radiography, ultrasonography, gastroscopy, and nuclear scintigraphy. Our board-certified specialists interpret imaging to detect lameness causes, internal conditions, and performance-limiting issues with precision. Dynamic endoscopy evaluates airway function during exercise for accurate respiratory diagnoses.
Reproductive Medicine
Comprehensive breeding programs feature artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and high-risk foal care. Our specialists manage mare and stallion fertility using advanced ultrasounds and hormonal diagnostics. On-farm services include pregnancy monitoring, C-sections, and neonatal intensive care for optimal foal survival.
Sports Medicine
Targeted lameness evaluations and performance diagnostics address musculoskeletal issues in athletic horses. Regenerative therapies like PRP injections and shockwave therapy accelerate healing. Custom rehabilitation plans combine chiropractic adjustments and laser therapy to restore peak function for racehorses and sport disciplines.

absolutely horrible management and communication. Do not go there. The charged me over $1k for sutures my horse cut. Never called me when the vet did follow up at the barn. Overcharged and not honest practice.

Dr. Byrne and Dr. Ward were wonderful. Very knowledgeable and took their time with no rush when working on my horse. Amanda who works the front desk makes you feel welcome, kind, and overall just lovely. Highly recommend this facility. Easy in/out with your rig and easy parking.

We drive almost 2 hours to see the doctor and his staff for any special medical attention for our horses. You know they are outstanding if you trailer your horses that far when they seem a bit off.

All the vets here are top notch and even better care about our animals. I think I had every vet come out...Their treatments were solid and their follow up was exceptional.
