Annual Exams & Health Planning for Horses
Routine wellness exams are the foundation of equine preventative care. During these visits, our veterinarians perform a full physical exam, review your horse’s history, and tailor care recommendations based on age, use, and lifestyle.
Wellness appointments are also the perfect time to discuss:
- Nutritional management
- Routine lab work
- Weight and body condition scoring
- Dental health
- Preventative soundness checks
Equine Vaccinations
We follow AAEP guidelines and adjust vaccine protocols based on your horse’s environment, lifestyle, and risk factors. Our core and risk-based equine vaccine offerings include:
Parasite Control for Horses
We follow the most current AAEP guidelines to ensure effective, responsible parasite management. Rather than routine deworming, we use a targeted approach based on individual risk and fecal egg count (FEC) results.
For adult horses with a history of low to moderate shedding, we typically recommend fecal testing twice yearly—once in mid-spring and again in the fall, just after the first hard frost. This schedule allows us to monitor parasite burdens during key times of year and tailor treatment only when needed.
Young horses under the age of two require more frequent monitoring and a different management strategy, as they’re more susceptible to parasites. Our team will guide you through age-appropriate testing and treatment to support healthy growth and development.
By staying ahead of resistance and reducing unnecessary deworming, we help protect both your horse and the broader equine community for the long haul.
Coggins Testing & Paperwork
As part of your horse’s annual wellness care, we provide Coggins testing (Equine Infectious Anemia) and digital health certificates (CVIs) when needed for shows, travel, or changes in ownership. We’ll help you stay compliant and organized with all required documentation.

Preventative care is about more than checklists—it’s about building a foundation for better health. Our team takes the time to get to know your horse, your routine, and your goals, offering experienced guidance every step of the way.
