Performance evaluations should be part of every equine athlete’s regular care routine and not just when a problem arises.

➜ Baseline Exam: At the start of training or a new competition season.

➜ Routine Checkups: Every 6-12 months for active performance horses, even if no lameness is visible.

➜ Before Major Events: A few weeks prior to shows, races, or competitions to ensure optimal soundness.

➜ After Injury or Layoff: To confirm full recovery and readiness to return to work.

Regular performance exams allow early detection of subtle issues before they become significant, helping your horse stay sound, strong, and competitive. 🐎πŸ’ͺ🏼

I’m often asked, β€œIs joint fluid good or bad?” A normal amount of joint fluid is essential for cushioning and lubrication. But when the lining of the joint becomes inflamed, it produces excess fluid called β€œeffusion” which leads to visible swelling. While this is the body’s way of protecting the joint, it also signals irritation or stress that needs attention.

These horses were receiving stifle injections. The stifle, one of the largest and most complex joints in the horse, is a common source of lameness and performance issues. Injections place medications like corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or biologics directly into the joint to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve mobility! 🐎

Such a great day seeing our clients in south Alabama!πŸ’›
