Traveling?
Planning on traveling with your horses this summer? Many facilities are requiring proof of vaccination and current Coggins test for horses to enter the property – even for smaller local or in-state events. Spring vaccination time is the perfect opportunity to get your Coggins. We can also provide you with a vaccination certificate to keep on hand

February Dental Special
We will be offering our dental special for the month of February • 10% off dentistry • Excellent opportunity for annual Coggins and wellness exams We recommend that all horses have their teeth checked by a veterinarian at least one time annually. Horses typically need their teeth floated every 1-2 years. Very young and very old horses may require more frequent dentistry. We use state of the art power dental equipment and our doctors are well trained in the safe administration of sedation. The 10% discount applies to the dental only (not the farm/office call).

Client Education Seminar Equine First Aid
We will be hosting a client education seminar Monday, May 7 at 6pm in the Minnie Moore room at the Hailey Community Campus. Equine first aid is a topic that we get lots of questions on so we thought a refresher course at the beginning of the riding and hauling season would be helpful for our clients. We will cover basic physical exam parameters, most common equine emergencies, basic medications, and first aid kits.
We are now offering laser therapy Lasers?
For Horses? Yes, you read correctly! Laser therapy has been gaining popularity in small animal and equine medicine in recent years. The biochemical pathways that are activated by light allow for increased circulation and reduction of inflammation. In the equine patient, there are three major areas where laser is of great benefit:
- Accelerate rehabilitation and healing of common lameness disorders (tendon and suspensory injuries, osteoarthritis, back disorders, wound healing)
- Maintain performance
- Prevent the occurrence or recurrence of athletic injuries
- We are excited to offer this non-invasive therapy to our clients.
Please call us with questions or to schedule an appointment.
