OUR FACILITIES

We recently constructed a specially designed hospital to provide in house services on an out-patient and hospitalized basis depending on what your horse needs. A circular driveway with separate entry and exit points has been designed for your convenience and for those with large trailers. This facility gives you flexibility with your time due to the option of dropping-off your horse in the morning, carrying on with your day and returning when the work is done. You are welcome to trailer your horse in for routine work such as dentistry and vaccines as well as for lameness exams, PPE, traumatic injuries, and for artificial insemination.

The facilities have been designed to provide your horse with health care that is second to none. Our 5500 sq/ft climate controlled hospital includes a 900 sq ft. operating theatre equipped with the latest equipment to offer your horse a wide range of surgical procedures on a scheduled or emergency basis.

In addition, a padded recovery stall has been specially designed to ensure the safety of the horses recovering from general anesthesia. We have two separate barns with a total of nine 12ft x 12ft stalls and 9 outside paddocks. Every stall is equipped with soft ground, remote camera, and intravenous fluid hook up. In addition, we have one large stall where a recumbent horse can be housed and maintained on a specially designed sling, and two stalls where horses needing isolation can be housed.

An outside riding ring with excellent footing provides a safe environment to perform lameness exams in as well as a flat, level, large, hard surface for gait analysis exams to aid in finding subtle performance limiting problems in your athlete. These areas provide an excellent environment to perform Pre-Purchase Exams that are fair to the buyer, the seller and most importantly, fair to the horse.

Our location also has three additional buildings, one which houses the office, laboratory, in-house pharmacy and central supply and two additional dwellings where some of our staff live, this gives us the ability to provide your horse with an all-around controlled and safe environment.
