Equine Lameness Exams & Performance Evaluation
Lameness is the most common reason a horse comes off the job. Our equine veterinarians perform structured lameness workups combining flexion testing, diagnostic nerve and joint blocks, and digital radiography to isolate the source rather than guess at it.
For horses with joint disease, we offer Pro-Stride regenerative therapy and our CTS DUO+ therapeutic laser to manage pain and support recovery without repeated steroid injections.
Equine Reproduction, Breeding & Foaling
Reproductive work is a particular focus of our practice. We provide full ultrasonic reproductive services, breeding management and cycle monitoring, on-site foaling facilities, and newborn foal exams.
Our team is equipped to support mare owners through the full breeding season, from initial evaluation through foal-side care.
Pre-Purchase Exams, Coggins & Travel Paperwork
Before you buy a horse — or haul one across state lines — the paperwork matters as much as the medicine.
We perform pre-purchase examinations with optional digital radiographs, Coggins testing, health certificates and transportation exams, and equine insurance examinations for horses based in and around Great Falls, MT.
Equine Outcalls Across Central Montana
Not every horse can be trailered in. Our equine veterinarians make farm and ranch calls throughout the Great Falls area with portable digital X-ray and field diagnostic equipment, covering routine vaccinations, dental floats, wellness exams, and emergency evaluation on site.

What Are the Benefits of Pro-Stride?
Cost Effective
Pro-Stride is less expensive than therapies such as IRAP and PRP while providing a more concentrated, natural product.
Fewer Treatments
Pro-Stride has been proven to last up to one year. Results will vary depending on the severity of the joint disease. Steroid joint injections typically need to be repeated multiple times per year. IRAP requires 3-5 weekly treatments for one overall treatment.
Time Saving
Pro-Stride typically takes 30 minutes to process the concentrate and it happens in our facility. The horse will receive treatment the same day the blood is drawn. Other processes can take several days.
Other Advantages
Pro-Stride can be used in horses that cannot have typical steroid joint injections, such as young horses, laminitic horses, and insulin-resistant horses. It is a great next step for horses that have been unresponsive to steroid therapy.
