Featuring Maggie our veterinary technician. We stopped by for a routine post-foaling exam to make sure this sweet little c**t is healthy, strong, and off to a great start! While we mainly care for horses, weโ€™re always happy to see our donkey friends too! ๐Ÿดโœจ

Flexion exams are one part of a complete lameness evaluation โœจ
By temporarily stressing a joint and then observing the horseโ€™s movement, flexions can help highlight subtle discomfort or changes that may not be obvious at rest or during straight-line movement.
Theyโ€™re never interpreted on their own. Flexion responses are evaluated alongside the physical exam, gait assessment, history, and diagnostic imaging to help build a clearer picture of what may be contributing to performance changes or lameness.
Owners may notice things like stiffness when starting work, unevenness, reluctance to engage, or a horse that just doesnโ€™t feel quite right. Flexion exams can help guide where to look next and what additional diagnostics may be helpful.
Gathering accurate information allows us to make informed decisions and develop an appropriate plan for each individual horse.

This is where a lot of answers start ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฉบ Before imaging, before treatment, before decisions, we listen.โœจ

What we see on the outside doesnโ€™t always reflect whatโ€™s happening inside the hoof ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฆถ
A hoof can appear balanced externally while radiographs reveal differences in internal alignment, joint orientation, or how the hoof capsule relates to the underlying structures.
Balance films help us better understand how the foot is functioning and how forces are being distributed through the limb. Subtle changes at the foot can influence movement, loading, and comfort throughout the leg over time.
Having accurate images allows for more informed trimming, shoeing, and management decisions, supporting comfort and long term soundness for the horse.
