As horses age, their needs change—but their importance in our lives never does. Our senior horse care program is designed to support comfort, health, and quality of life at every stage, with thoughtful, proactive care tailored to the individual.

Dental Care

Proper dental maintenance becomes increasingly important in older horses. Uneven wear, tooth loss, and periodontal disease can make chewing difficult and lead to weight loss or digestive issues. Regular dental exams and floating help ensure your horse can eat comfortably and get the most from their feed.

Nutrition & Body Condition

Senior horses often require customized feeding plans to maintain weight and muscle mass. We work with you to develop balanced nutritional strategies based on your horse’s condition, metabolism, and dental health—whether that means adjusting forage, adding senior feeds, or incorporating supplements.

Arthritis & Pain Management

Stiffness and joint pain are common with age, but they can often be managed effectively. We offer a range of options including anti-inflammatory medications, joint therapies, podiatry, and lifestyle adjustments to keep your horse moving comfortably and enjoying daily life.

Deworming & Preventive Care

Aging horses may have different immune responses, making targeted deworming and preventive care essential. We develop strategic parasite control programs and vaccination schedules based on risk, environment, and overall health status.

Prevention of Illness & Infection

Routine wellness exams allow us to catch subtle changes early. Monitoring vital signs, weight, and organ function helps prevent minor concerns from becoming serious health issues, supporting longevity and well-being.

Metabolic Testing & Management

Cushing’s disease (PPID) is common in senior horses and can be compounded by insulin dysregulation. We provide diagnostic testing, ongoing monitoring, and tailored treatment plans to help manage these conditions and reduce the risk of complications like laminitis.

Compassionate End-of-Life Care


When the time comes, we are here to guide you through one of the most difficult decisions a horse owner can face. We provide honest, supportive guidance to help you assess your horse’s quality of life, and when needed, perform humane euthanasia with dignity, respect, and compassion.

Your horse has given you years of partnership and trust. Our goal is to help you return that gift with attentive, knowledgeable care—because life’s greatest companions deserve nothing less.
