Facilities


HOSPITAL & SURGERY

ADMIN OFFICE

Our full-service equine facilities include all of the necessary equipment for examination, treatment, surgery, recovery, and hospitalization of all breeds of horses. We also specialize in equine reproduction and breed mares on site with fresh or frozen semen.

STOCKS

Stocks are a method of restraining horses in order to work on them more safely. Most horses will stand comfortably in stocks in order to be rectally palpated or have their teeth floated. Stocks provide safety for the horse, handler, and veterinarian.

 

SURGERY SUITE

We have a full-service equine surgery suite that allows us to perform any required surgery in a clean and efficient environment.

 

PADDED RECOVERY ROOM

Our padded recovery room provides a safe environment for horses to recover from general anaesthesia following surgery. The 10' x 11' room has 4" foam on the floor and walls. Horses are moved from the padded room to the surgery table by an overhead hoist once anaesthetized.

 

NEONATAL INTESIVE CARE UNIT

We offer complete neonatal intensive care. Our neonatal intensive care includes using a heated water-bed to help sick foals maintain their body temperature.

 

12X12 STALLS


We have 5 indoor stalls and one 12’x24’ foaling stall complete with 4-foot high kickboards, rubber matting, and the capability of closed-circuit monitoring. We also offer 10 outdoor pens that offer a bit more area to move about in.

 

PADDOCKS

We have 5 acres of open paddocks so that your horse can get out and “stretch its legs”. We also have numerous smaller paddocks for horses that prefer less open turn-out.
