Performance & Lameness Exams

At PHD Veterinary Services, our performance and lameness evaluations go beyond the basics. Dr. Porter is known for delivering a comprehensive assessment of your horse’s soundness, fitness, and overall health through the examination of joints, tendons, muscles, spine, heart, and lungs. Through flexion tests and hands-on evaluation, we identify subtle issues before they become major problems.
Our lameness evaluations are designed for hunter/jumpers, sport horses, and equine athletes experiencing subtle performance changes, shortened stride, loss of impulsion, lead change issues, or decreased competitiveness.
Our team doesn’t rely on guesswork or jump straight to injections. Instead, we use our expertise to develop targeted, evidence-based treatment plans. Early detection is key to keeping your horse performing at their best, which is why we recommend evaluations every 6 months.
As leaders in equine performance medicine, we’ve developed the PHD Performance Plan to provide proactive, top-tier care tailored to your horse’s unique needs, all year long.
