2012 Highlights
Clinic
Located in Mt. Airy, MD, our clinic features two exam rooms and an array of diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities. Our facility is temperature controlled and is comfortable during all seasons.
Many procedures are discounted when performed in the clinic.

Parasite Control
In 2009, we began to offer a Clinical Parasite Control Program. This program addresses the problem of parasite drug resistance. During 2010 and 2011, only 10% of horses tested were categorized as High or Moderate shedders. That means that 90% of the horses tested were maintained on twice a year deworming.

Lameness Locator®
The Lameness Locator® is a wireless computer-assisted motion analysis system used to objectively detect and evaluate lameness patterns in the horse. The resulting Lameness Locator® analysis report can be used to help determine whether a lameness exists, which limb or limbs are involved, the severity of the lameness, and the phase of stride (impact, mid-stance, or push off) that the lameness is most severe.
