Veterinary Care at Your Barn

Wellness Exams

A wellness exam gives your horse a thorough veterinary assessment at the barn. It may include a review of health history, observation of general condition, and an examination suited to your horse’s needs. Routine visits help establish a health baseline and give you time to discuss questions, preventive care, and any changes you have noticed.

Vaccinations

Vaccination recommendations depend on factors such as your horse’s age, health, travel, and contact with other horses. At a barn visit, the veterinarian can review those details and discuss an appropriate plan. Keeping vaccination records organized can also help you prepare for travel, boarding requirements, and future veterinary appointments.

Lameness Evaluations

If your horse is moving differently or showing a change in performance, a lameness evaluation can help assess the concern. The veterinarian can observe your horse at the barn and gather relevant history before recommending next steps. Findings and care options depend on the examination, and additional diagnostics or referral may be appropriate.

Dental Exams

A dental exam assesses your horse’s mouth and helps identify concerns that may affect comfort, eating, or handling. The veterinarian can discuss observed findings and whether further dental care is recommended. Regular assessment is especially useful when you notice changes in appetite, chewing, or behavior, or as part of your horse’s ongoing care.
