Traditionally, lameness has been defined as any alteration of the horse's gait. In addition, lameness can be manifest in such ways as a change in attitude or performance. These abnormalities can be caused by pain in the neck, withers, shoulders, back, loin, hips, legs or feet. Identifying the source of the problem is essential to proper treatment.
Our portable ultrasound equipment can be used for heat detection and other reproductive services. Mares can be housed on-site at HVC while they are being bred, ensuring attentive care throughout the process.
