Ample time will be given for subtle cases so that your horse or pony can be seen on a range or surfaces, both on the lunge and under saddle if necessary. Careful detailed palpation of the limb(s) and a range of diagnostic tests including nerve and joints blocks are available to us before moving on to further diagnostics. Portable digital x-ray and ultrasound can be performed at your yard if necessary.

From kissing spines to muscular stiffness, we will work as part of a team with your physiotherapist or chiropractor to get the best solution. Often, chronic lameness will result in tightening of muscles in the back and neck so we always look at these areas and will refer you as appropriate once we have dealt with the underlying cause. Intra-articular medications may be appropriate in ongoing osteoarthritis cases and we offer a whole range of different options to suit need and budget.
