Equine sports medicine is a specialized field focused on preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries in horses involved in athletic competition. Whether your horse competes in jumping, dressage, racing, or endurance riding, our team has the knowledge and expertise to provide tailored care for every individual horse.
At Equine Specialty Hospital, we utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including digital radiography, ultrasonography, and arthroscopy, to assess your horse’s condition accurately. These advanced technologies allow us to identify underlying issues that may not be evident during a regular examination, ensuring we provide comprehensive care for each equine athlete.
Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis
A thorough evaluation is the foundation of effective equine sports medicine. Our experienced veterinarians perform detailed physical examinations to assess your horse’s musculoskeletal health, movement patterns, and overall fitness. Additionally, our diagnostic imaging capabilities enable us to identify specific injuries—whether they are tendon, ligament, joint, or muscle related—allowing for a precise diagnosis and targeted treatment plan.
Early detection and intervention are crucial in the world of equine sports. By monitoring subtle changes in your horse’s performance or behavior, our team can address potential issues before they escalate, ensuring their competitive edge is maintained while minimizing the risk of long-term damage.

Injuries can happen, but with the right rehabilitation program, your horse can recover effectively and return to peak performance. Our rehabilitation services focus on developing customized programs that cater to your horse’s specific needs, promoting healing while minimizing stress on their body.
