Pre-Purchase Exams
This is an extensive exam provided to buyers interested in learning more about the horse they are looking at. PPE’s are no guarantee of soundness and use, but more an exam to find abnormalities and issues that may prevent the horse and buyer from being a good match. Riding can be performed by either the buyer, seller, or sellers agent if able or desired.
Abnormalities will be videoed to make sure that communication is clear. Travel paperwork can be performed at the same time if the buyer wishes to buy the horse at an additional charge. See the Travel paperwork section for more information. This exam takes approximately 1-2 hours to perform. The horse must be halter broke and tolerant of their legs being handled and trained to trot out.

End of Life Care
Senior horses require special care, from pain control and regular teeth care as well as we recommend annual bloodwork. We are available to help with those concerns to make sure your Golden oldie is living their best life. We can interact with farriers to help them take care of their hooves to keep them comfortable and discuss pain medication to help keep them moving and comfortable. Diet changes can also be needed for horses that are struggling keeping weight or muscle mass. Please contact us for a price quote
We do not offer disposal services for horse euthanasia at this time.
Dental Floats
Teeth checks and dental floats are important for horses of all ages. The wellness exam can locate some teeth problems, but without a full speculum and sedation the full mouth cannot be examined. With a full examination we can identify infected teeth or hooks and points that can make eating uncomfortable. Teeth pain can be a source of behavioral issues as well as weight loss, an exam can help rectify that situation to make both rider and horse comfortable.
We use a power float to correct the hooks and points and bites so sedation is required for the float. It is faster, more accurate and less damaging than the older handfloats. For safety and comfort of all involved we do not perform floats in extreme hot or cold temperature. Please contacts us for a price quote.
Gelds
We do not offer this service. We recommend Oregon trail Veterinary Clinc in Hermiston Oregon. They are professional and very affordable. Your horse will need to be current on vaccines to avoid complications after the geld.
Emergencies
Please note that we do not accept emergency cases. Our team provides compassionate equine care and always strives to deliver the best service possible during regular hours.
Brand Inspections, Coggins, Health Certificates
Travel for horses leaving the state, and sometimes within state travel require documentation.
The first is the Brand Inspection which acts as a proof of ownership for the horse, the horse doesn’t require a brand to have a Brand Inspection. This can only be done by a certified Brand Inspector and the owner needs to provide proof such as breed registration, bill of sale or other documentation that will be verified by the Brand Inspector. Brand inspection can be valid for one year with an Annual Brand Inspection ($90.00) or for the entire time you own the horse with a Lifetime Brand Inspection ($145.00).
Second is a Coggins test($80.00) to make sure your horse does not have Equine Infectious Anemia that can be spread to other horses by biting flies. This disease has no cure, and positive horses must be reported to the state and are not permitted to travel. This is now done digitally with Global Vet Link and can be on your phone through an app for easy access
Third is the Health Certificate, Once the other two pieces are completed with the test results back, a health certificate can be completed. Interstate health certificates ($75.00) are valid for 30 days, but there is an Extended Equine Health certificate that is accepted by some states that is up to six months ($125.00). Not all states accept the extended health certificate so please be sure to check with your vet on the states you plan to visit. Health certificates are completed digitally with Global Vet Link.
Dental Float
Part of an exam includes a visual dental check. This check can only evaluate the front part of the mouth without sedation or a speculum for most horses. Many horses resent their tongue being pulled to allow the premolars and molars to be seen so many will require sedation and a speculum to safely hold the horses mouth open.
Given that the horse has two sets of teeth (deciduous and permanent) that erupt over a five-year period, that the cheek teeth don’t meet perfectly, and that even the permanent teeth continue to erupt over the lifetime of the horse, it should not be surprising to learn that horses come with built-in dental problems. Some of the most common include:
- Retained caps (deciduous teeth that are not shed at the right time)
- Sharp points on the cheek teeth, which can cause cuts of the cheek and tongue
- Misalignment affecting individual teeth (called hooks, ramps, steps, and waves)
- Lost and/or fractured teeth
- Excessively worn teeth
- Abnormally long teeth
- Infected teeth and/or gum
Wolf teeth in young horses are also something to be evaluated for and removed prior to starting bit work. The teeth have a very shallow root and can be irritated with a bit, causing head tossing and resistance in horses.
Bit seat are often performed on the front premolars to allow the bit to ride better in the mouth.
Once the mouth is rinsed and evaluated we use a power float to smooth out any sharp or hooks and points. Each took is manually evaluated for any sensitivity and fractures. The power float is generally well tolerated once the horses are sedated.
Barns are recommended for appointments in inclement weather.
