​​Nutrition
Providing well-balanced nutrition is a vital component of keeping any horse healthy and performing at its best. Whether you have a weekend warrior trail horse or an three-day event horse, our veterinarians can help you evaluate and monitor your horse’s weight, body condition score, and other health factors that may influence your horse’s nutritional needs. From there, we can design a nutrition plan that is right for you and your horse. In addition, we offer consultation/referral with an equine nutritionist.

Common Performance Problems Impacted by Nutrition:

• Gastric & Colonic Ulcers
• Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy
  
• Exertional Rhabdomyolysis (Tying Up)

​Podiatry
The foot is the foundation of the horse. As such, hoof imbalances often lead to lameness or performance problems unless corrected early. A thorough foot evaluation is an essential part of any performance exam. BLVC veterinarians utilize digital radiographs of the foot, movement evaluation, and close consultation with your farrier to develop a therapeutic plan.

Integrated Performance & Lameness Exams

There are many factors that keep a horse performing at its best. Our Integrated Performance Exam includes a full lameness exam, chiropractic and acupuncture treatments, and consults in podiatry, dentistry, and nutrition. Our veterinarians evaluate every aspect of the horse to determine how we can help to improve performance, establish soundness, or treat an injury.
