Subtle changes in movement or attitude can signal more than meets the eye. At Seven Hills Equine, we combine comprehensive diagnostics with a holistic, whole-horse approach to uncover the root cause of discomfort or poor performance. From gait analysis to cardiovascular, respiratory, and saddle assessments, we leave no stone unturned to restore soundness, comfort, and peak performance.
Beyond lameness – a whole-horse approach to performance
-
Lameness remains the most common cause of reduced performance in horses. Some cases are obvious, but others develop quietly – appearing only as a loss of performance, a change in attitude, or a reluctance to work. These subtle issues are often progressive and, if overlooked, can lead to chronic or even career-limiting problems.
At Seven Hills Equine, we combine clinical expertise with advanced diagnostic equipment to identify the precise source of discomfort and formulate a targeted, evidence-based treatment plan. A clear diagnosis is the foundation for a successful recovery and long-term soundness.
-
Not all performance issues stem from lameness. Subtle losses in form, attitude, or willingness to work often arise from a combination of factors beyond the musculoskeletal apparatus.
At Seven Hills Equine, we take a holistic approach to investigating poor performance – assessing not just the locomotor apparatus, but the whole horse.
