Hill Country Equine has state of the art diagnostics to thoroughly evaluate all aspects of the performance horse.  We are able to radiograph anything from the foot to the shoulder on the forelimb and from the foot to the hip on the hindlimb. We also take head, neck and thoracic radiographs. To complement our radiographs we have ultrasonography. We are capable of ultrasounding the deep digital flexor tendon under the navicular bone to the back and pelvis. We also have the capability to ultrasound the chest and abdomen.

To round out our performance evaluations we have two video endoscopes, one for the upper airway and one to evaluate the stomach. Our 1 meter video endoscope is used to evaluate upper respiratory function. Our 3 meter video gastroscope allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the stomach, including looking for gastric ulcers.
