IMAGING (including Radiology and Ultrasound)
We have digital radiography, ultrasound, and endoscopy equipment at your disposal. Everything is portable and convenient for home visits. For on-the-spot exams, we can answer your questions on the same day. In specific cases requiring MRI, CT scans, or nuclear scintigraphy, we work with several centers in Europe to tailor services to the needs of each individual case.
DENTISTRY
A horse's teeth are of particular importance, not only for good digestion but also for its physical condition and handling. A check-up should normally be done annually to correct any problems that arise. We will send you a report of all interventions and remind you when a new appointment is due.
ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION
Animal identification is mandatory and involves the issuance of a green book or blue book by the DGAV (Directorate-General for Food and Veterinary). This requires a veterinarian to register the animal and implant a microchip in its neck. Contact us and we can handle the entire process to ensure your animal is legally identified.
INSURANCE
We can carry out the necessary check-up for taking out life/health insurance for your horse. The best-known horse insurance companies require a veterinary visit to verify the horse's health status at the time of subscription. Insured amounts can vary, and the policy value corresponds to a percentage (usually around 4%) of the insured amount. Contact us for more information.
Assistance in competitions and events.
Dr. Rodrigo Riba de Ave has extensive experience assisting in national and international equestrian competitions. He is duly registered and accredited by the FEP (no. 16657) and the FEI (PTV 10087292). If you wish to organize a competition, we can provide veterinary assistance to ensure everything runs smoothly.
SHOCKWAVE
As a non-invasive therapy, shockwave therapy has been around for many years and its benefits are scientifically proven. It can be used for back problems, suspensory ligaments, forelegs and hind feet, etc. Our equipment, from one of the world's most reputable brands (PulseVet), allows for treatments in various areas of the horse's body. Whether recommended by us or a fellow veterinarian, don't hesitate to seek treatment. We partner with veterinary colleagues to ensure that the benefits of this therapy are always accessible.
LASER THERAPY
We possess specialized equipment for veterinary medicine and class IV. Laser therapy has gained many followers in recent years. Non-invasive, safe, and with multiple applications, it can even be used in the rehabilitation and healing phases of difficult wounds. As this treatment usually requires multiple sessions, we can always guarantee that the protocols are followed meticulously to obtain the best results.
REGENERATIVE THERAPIES
The use of products derived from the horse's own blood has been a major area of study. Currently, many tests prove the effectiveness of products such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), IRAP, Prostride, Alpha2 Macroglobulin, and even stem cells (prepared from the animal's own cells or from donors). The functional outcome in the recovery of tendon injuries is dramatically better and faster than previously used protocols. We have extensive experience with these new techniques and can advise you in the best way possible.
CLINICAL ANALYSES AND SUPPLEMENTS
We work with clinical analysis laboratories exclusively dedicated to veterinary medicine. We also have equipment that allows us to obtain immediate results in order to apply the best therapy. In the case of horse exports, we handle the collection of necessary samples and their shipment to the appropriate laboratories for each case. We also have a line of products developed exclusively for the Horsevet Team that provide the necessary supplementation for a variety of situations.
