Vaccination Wellness Services

Equine Wellness care services

Wellness care is an investment in your horse's health. Ensuring that your horse receives proper wellness care can help your horse live longer and stay active.  A critical part of wellness care is an annual physical examination. During this examination, we will evaluate the following:

  • Body condition
  • Skin and haircoat
  • Eyes (eye exam)
  • Teeth (dental exam)
  • Lungs and heart
  • Digestive system and manure output
  • Musculoskeletal system

All horses we vaccinate receive a customized vaccination plan according to (1) his/her lifestyle and potential exposure, as well as travel and competition plans, and (2) the likelihood your horse will be exposed to infectious diseases that are prevalent in our area.  This spring, we will recommend some combination of vaccines to protect your horse against the following diseases:
