How often does my horse need vaccinated?

This depends on the exposure of your horse to other horses & environmental factors. We vaccinate to prevent many diseases in horses. We generally recommend twice a year for horses at boarding facilities and those attending shows. Depending on the situation, some horses may need a vaccine protocol more or less often than twice a year.

How often does my horse need wormed?

Our veterinarians will recommend a worming protocol for your horse based on exposure and parasite resistance. Biannual fecals are recommended to confirm that the worming program for your horse is effective.

How often does my horse need a dental exam?

Dental exams are recommended annually for most horses. We use power tools with tranquilization which allows us to do a more thorough job than with normal manual floats. Other signs of dental problems are: fighting the bit, difficulty chewing, losing weight, swelling on the side of the face, unilateral nasal discharge, or bad breath. If your horse is a gelding, it is recommended that the sheath be cleaned at the time of the dental procedures.

Do you recommend equine insurance?

We highly recommend medical insurance. Insurance pays for major medical & surgery expenses that can occur with your horse. View a list of reputable equine insurance providers.
