Orthopedic examinations

Systematic examinations grounded in anatomy and biomechanics, with imaging on hand to confirm what the exam suggests.

Lameness evaluation

Subjective and objective assessment in hand, on the lunge and under saddle, with flexion tests and diagnostic analgesia to localise the problem before imaging it.

Poor performance

When a horse is not lame but not performing, the cause can be musculoskeletal, respiratory or gastric. The work-up combines the lameness exam, endoscopy and exercise testing to find it.

Pre-purchase examination

A thorough, impartial assessment before you buy, tailored to the horse's intended job, with radiographs and ultrasound when you need them.
