Bringing the Clinic to Your Stable: The Advantages of Mobile Equine Diagnostics

Modern veterinary care has come a long way, and nowhere is that more evident than in the field of equine diagnostics. At West Ridge Equine Vets, our mobile diagnostic services allow us to bring advanced technology directly to your yard, providing a level of convenience and comfort that was once only possible in a hospital setting. This approach not only saves time but also reduces the stress horses may experience during transport.

Our mobile units are fully equipped with digital x-ray, ultrasound, gastroscopy, endoscopy, and shockwave therapy capabilities. These tools allow our experienced team to assess lameness, identify soft tissue injuries, and diagnose internal conditions right where the horse lives and works. Quick diagnosis often leads to faster treatment decisions, which can significantly improve outcomes and reduce downtime for the horse.

Lameness evaluations are one of the most commonly requested services. By assessing the horse in its usual working environment, we can often spot subtle gait abnormalities or performance issues that might not be visible in a clinical setting. This real-world approach allows for a more accurate diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan specific to the horse’s daily activities.

In addition to lameness workups, our mobile equipment is invaluable for reproductive scans, tendon and ligament assessments, and internal examinations using endoscopy. The ability to perform these procedures on-site means less disruption for both horse and owner, and allows immediate feedback and planning from our veterinary team.

By investing in advanced mobile diagnostic equipment, West Ridge Equine Vets ensures that cutting-edge veterinary care is accessible, efficient, and horse-friendly. Our goal is always to provide the highest standard of care while minimising stress and maximising convenience for both horse and owner.
