The main stay of CEP is the comprehensive, full body system examinations that we provide to get your horse feeling their best. Poor performance and behavioral concerns are often much more complex than a simple orthopedic issue. That is why we take the time to examine and discuss the neurologic, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiac, and reproductive systems in addition to the musculoskeletal system. Our care is thoughtful, evidence-based, and results-driven, with a focus on what truly benefits the equine athlete.

When your horse is limping, you and your horse need answers and a tailored treatment plan. At CEP, we don’t guess we block! This means localizing the source the of the lameness with diagnostic nerve and joint blocks so we can accurately diagnose where the problem is and then appropriate imaging to determine what the problem is. This approach decreases time out of the saddle and maximizes successful outcomes.

Keeping your horse at peak performance requires a multi-system approach. Our 1 and 3 meterportable endoscopes allow us to evaluate your horse’s respiratory tract and stomach to diagnose other causes of poor performance or behavioral concerns stall side.

More than just annual vaccinations, at CEP we focus on a comprehensive physical exam to detect issues before they become major problems, manage ongoing diseases, discuss your concerns about your horse and formulate a tailored plan for the year. Are you wondering if your horse’s diet is appropriate or if your horse is tolerating their current medications? – give us a call to discuss!

Pre-purchase exams are a vital part of choosing the right equine partner. At CEP, we approach every evaluation with the same thoroughness, regardless of the horse’s value or discipline. Each exam covers a comprehensive clinical assessment, with optional diagnostics—such as radiographs, ultrasound, bloodwork, or endoscopy — tailored to the buyer’s needs. While there are never guarantees with horses, we strive to give you the best risk assessment. Our team is here to support you at every step of the decision-making process.
