How We Help Your Horse

Every Service we offer comes back to one question: How is this horse moving and what does it need to move better? We take a whole horse approach, combining veterinary medicine, chiropractic, biomechanics and hands on therapy to give you a complete picture and a clear path forward. Dr. Kristen comes to your barn, Tuesday through Thursday, throughout the greater Phoenix metro area. 

Flexion Tests

Lameness evaluations, performance assessments, and pre-purchase exams, so you always know what you're working with. 

Lameness exam

How your horse stands tells you everything about how they move. A posture assessment is often the best place to start. 

Horse adjustment

AVCA certified spinal manipulation that restores range of motion, supports whole body health and keeps your athlete performing at their best. 

Horse ultrasound

Digital x-ray and ultrasound performed stall-side. No hauling, no unfamiliar environment, no added stress.

A specialized assessment and transition program built for horses starting new careers after the track. Waitlist now open!

How do I know which service my horse needs?
Call or email and describe what you're seeing, stiffness, a lameness, a performance dip, or just wanting a baseline. Dr. Kristen will help you figure out the right starting point before you book.

​

Is diagnostic imaging a separate visit?
Usually not. X-ray and ultrasound are typically used alongside a soundness exam to guide diagnosis, rather than booked as a standalone service.
