Whole Horse Health
Equine Osteopathy

Assess and restore the horse's mobility for ideal health.
Osteopathy enhances mobility through manual manipulation of the horse’s skeleton, but it also takes organ innervation and function into consideration. The goal is to improve health, mobility, and functionality of the whole horse. We have multiple Osteopaths working at True North so that each horse can be seen and treated in a timely fashion. Having Osteopathy done in regular intervals has shown to improve the whole horse. Whether you have a competition horse who needs to stay in tip top shape or a pleasure horse you want to keep feeling good. Osteopathy is a great option to add to your horses care routine.

Proper saddle fitting is essential for both the horse’s comfort and the rider’s performance. An ill-fitting saddle can lead to pain, behavioral issues, and long-term musculoskeletal problems for your horse. Our experienced veterinary team offers professional saddle fitting services that consider the horse’s anatomy, gait, and current physical condition. By evaluating saddle placement, pressure points, and movement under saddle, we help ensure an optimal fit that supports soundness, comfort, and better communication between horse and rider.

For difficult cases, our lameness locator can provide objective information about which limb the horse is favoring. A therapeutic regimen will then be developed to suit your horse’s condition. If inflammation or osteoarthritis is suspected within a joint, injection with corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, or a combination of both may be warranted.
