Shockwave therapy is an excellent treatment option for equine athletes suffering from chronic injuries. It uses sound waves to reduce pain and inflammation. The acoustic waves produced increase blood flow and stimulate cell metabolism. Shockwave therapy can be performed on any soft tissue in the body, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Since it’s portable and non-invasive, we can perform a treatment in your horse’s barn! Shockwave can be combined with other treatment modalities for optimal outcome. Text or DM us to schedule or ask any questions!

Horses were reintroduced to North America by Spanish conquistadors after being extinct in the region for approximately 10,000 years. Christopher Columbus brought Iberian horses to the Virgin Islands during his second voyage in 1492. Subsequently, in the early 1500s, Hernan Cortes introduced larger draft horses to the mainland areas now known as Mexico and Florida. At that time, North America was covered in grasslands, providing an ideal environment for the imported horses to thrive. Throughout the 1500s, feral horses began escaping or were abandoned, eventually becoming known as Mustangs. The name Mustang is derived from the Spanish words “mostrenco” and “mestengo,” which mean “wild” or “masterless.” One estimate suggests that there were nearly 10,000 wild horses throughout Mexico in the late 1500s. Since then, these wild Mustangs have spread across the grassland areas of the western United States, continuing to roam freely from Colorado to California in feral herds.

Back injections can help provide relief and healing for your equine athlete with back pain! Local infusions of medication into the back can help provide targeted relief of pain, inflammation, injury, or arthritis discomfort. The injections are a mix of steroids and B Vitamins, which help with the healing of inflamed tissues and nerves. Injections can also be combined with other treatment modalities like shockwave therapy or a chiropractic adjustment. Follow to learn more about our services!

There are multiple colic insurance programs associated with supplements available, including Smartpak ColiCare and Platinum Performance. These are wonderful plans to have in place in case your horse has a colic emergency. The biggest mistake we see is when people don’t follow through on the routine care that could void this program in the event you need it. Vaccinations, deworming, f***l, and dental floats must be up to date in order to qualify. Be sure to check if your horse has met all of the qualifications and DM us if you need to schedule a wellness exam to get up to date!

If you’re thinking of investing in a new horse, be sure to schedule a prepurchase exam first! The purpose of a pre-purchase exam is to assess the horse’s health and identify potential issues that could hinder its future performance. The veterinarian evaluates the risk associated with the purchase based on the animal’s intended use, but they cannot guarantee its future health. The pre-purchase exam provides the potential buyer with as much information about the horse as possible. It typically includes a comprehensive review of the horse’s medical history, a thorough physical examination, a gait evaluation and flexion test, and bloodwork and radiographs, as recommended by the veterinarian. If you’re considering getting another horse, text or DM to schedule a pre-purchase exam!

Horses have dichromatic vision, meaning they can only see two of the three primary colors. Horses only have two types of cone cells in their eyes to process color, blue-sensitive cones and yellow-sensitive cones while humans and primates have a third type, red-sensitive cone. This means that horses can see yellow and blue hues, but reds will appear as shades of gray. Studies have shown that horses are able to easily distinguish blue and yellow from gray, but could not differentiate as well between red and green, similar to human red/green color blindness Horses most likely evolved this type of vision due to their diniral nature, as this would be most beneficial at dawn and dusk. The ways in which horses see and process color is often taken into account when designing jumps and other obstacles, so the horse can easily distinguish between the object and the ground!
