Wellness & preventive care

Stop problems before they start

Yearly exams, vaccines, parasite control and nutrition advice, planned around your horse's age, job and exposure risk.

Preventive care keeps horses healthier and usually costs less than treating a problem we could have caught early.

No single vaccine and deworming program fits every horse. A show horse that travels every other weekend needs a different plan than a retired gelding who never leaves home. We set up a plan for each horse, keep the records and remind you when it's time.

What a wellness plan covers

  • Health exams

    A thorough physical to catch early signs of illness or injury.

  • Vaccinations

    A schedule based on your horse's age, lifestyle and exposure.

  • Deworming

    Parasite control based on fecal testing, not guesswork.

  • Dental care

    Exams and floating so your horse can chew comfortably.

  • Nutrition

    Advice on diet, supplements and feeding for your horse's workload.

  • Joint health

    Early detection of arthritis and ways to keep older horses moving.

  • Weight management

    Body condition checks with feeding and exercise advice.

  • Lab work

    Blood work to find metabolic disease and infections early.

Showing under USEF rules?

Horses entering USEF-licensed competitions need flu and rhino vaccines within the six months before arrival. We can set your horse on a twice-a-year or three-times-a-year schedule that fits around your shows, and your Nebraska Equine invoice serves as proof of vaccination.
