Sports Medicine & Performance Management
Sports medicine for horses ??? You bet ! All horses are natural athletes whether they are racing their herd mates in the back pasture, trotting around the show ring, running barrels or cutting cows. And just like human athletes, they have a tendency to push themselves faster, harder and further than nature intended. Injuries that result, even the ones that are barely noticeable, can affect a horse’s ability to perform at its best. The longer physical problems go untreated, the greater the potential for a catastrophic injuries.
Demands placed on equine athletes are ever increasing. When fractions of second or length of a stride make a difference between first and “out of the money”, it is key that your horse’s health and performance be evaluated regularly by a veterinarian. Helping you maximize your horse’s health and performance and minimize exercise-related injuries is our goal and our passion.
