I have used Sierra Equine for 20 years. Now that my horse R-Star is short listed for the World Equestrian Games, I wouldn't trust anyone else with her.

Equine Lameness

Sometime in the life of your horse, it is likely he will come up lame. It could be anything from foot abscess to a serious injury. We pride ourselves on knowing the difference!

The Lameness Exam : Because your horse can’t tell us where he hurts, we perform a thorough and methodical lameness exam, often using local diagnostic anesthesia (blocks) to pin point the origin. Digital radiography and ultrasound inform us of the underlying injury or pathology. There are many, many approaches to lameness prevention, management and/or treatment; Corrective shoeing, systemic medications, joint injections, surgery, conditioning, and the latest in regenerative medicine. We seek to find the treatment that will fit for you and your horse.
