Lameness examinations and prepurchase examinations are core procedures we perform at Hill Country Equine. 

Lameness workups include:

Lameness exam

Flexion tests

Diagnostic nerve and joint blocks

Digital radiographs

Ultrasonography

Treatment options are discussed and tailored to meet both the owner and horse's needs. Our practice strives to remain on the cutting edge by staying current with scientific literature and research so objective information and outcomes can be communicated to owners. Positive lameness outcomes involve a well planned maintenance and rehabilitation program.

Watching a horse go in hand after flexions is a basic component in the lameness examination.

 

Evaluation of tack as well as watching horses go under saddle is necessary in many lameness cases.
