Pre-Season Soundness Exam

Is your horse ride ready?

You’re ready to ride, but what about your horse? Whether you go up a trail, into a show ring, or after a cow, knowing your horse is ready for action is key to having an enjoyable and safe season.

A Pre-Season Exam helps optimize your horse’s overall soundness and performance and may help avoid downtime due to injury.

While we hope all is well with your horse, many mild unsoundness issues go unnoticed by riders, until they are not so mild anymore! Detection and early intervention through a Pre-Season Exam can save horse and owner unnecessary grief.

As veterinarians who focus on prevention and performance, we recommend this evaluative exam on a periodic basis to help ensure a long, useful, and comfortable life from your horse. This evaluation will give you a baseline on your horse and help identify future health risk factors and the opportunities for early intervention.

Our soundness exam includes:

• Gait evaluation at walk, trot and canter
• Flexion test analysis
• Physical exam
• Digital Imaging (with x–rays or ultrasound if appropriate)

We’ll discuss your goals and concerns, and work with you on strategies to ensure your horse’s optimal performance and protect your training investment. We provide diagnostic and treatment services right at your barn – including the latest digital imaging, as well as regenerative medicine technologies.
