Expert Pre-Purchase Equine Evaluations
Make an informed investment in your next equine partner with a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment.
An Informed Decision is a Crucial One
Making an informed decision when purchasing a horse is crucial. Beyond standard veterinary checks, understanding a horse's soft tissue health, conformation, and biomechanical soundness can provide invaluable insights into their long-term potential and any pre-existing conditions.
As a Certified Equine Massage Therapist (CEMT), I partner with local veterinarians to offer specialized pre-purchase evaluations focusing on the musculoskeletal system. My role is to provide a detailed assessment that complements the veterinarian's comprehensive examination, giving prospective buyers a clearer picture of the horse's physical state.
Conformation & Biomechanical Analysis
A thorough assessment of your horse's structure to evaluate soundness, athletic potential, and suitability for your discipline.
Comprehensive Soft Tissue Assessment
Meticulously evaluating muscles, fascia, and other soft tissues to identify areas of soreness, tension, asymmetry, or restriction.
Feet & Hoof Health Observation
Observing foot balance and structure, noting potential concerns that may affect long-term soundness and performance.
Identification of Potential Concerns & Remedies
Pinpointing specific areas of concern and discussing potential management strategies for future care and optimal well-being.
A Collaborative Approach for Your Peace of Mind
It's important to note that my evaluation focuses exclusively on soft tissue, conformation, and hands-on assessment. I do not perform veterinary diagnostics such as X-rays or bloodwork. However, I am happy to collaborate directly with your chosen veterinarian, or a local vet I recommend, to ensure a seamless and comprehensive pre-purchase examination that includes these vital components.
This team approach provides you with the most complete understanding of your potential new horse's health and suitability.
