Services
Podiatry for horses focuses on the care and treatment of their hooves, which are crucial to their overall health and performance. A horse's hooves need regular inspection and maintenance to ensure they remain healthy and functional, as they bear the weight and absorb the shock of the horse's movements.
Acupuncture for horses is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice used to promote healing, relieve pain, and improve overall well-being. It involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the horse’s body to stimulate nerve endings, increase blood circulation, and release endorphins.
Integrative medicine for horses combines conventional veterinary care with complementary and alternative therapies to support overall health and well-being. This approach focuses on treating the whole horse—body, mind, and environment—rather than just addressing symptoms.
