Standing Surgical Care

Horizon Equine performs a variety of surgical procedures at our clinic, including emergency laceration repair, trauma care, sinus surgery, ophthalmic surgery and musculoskeletal surgery of the limbs. Skin tumors such as sarcoids and melanomas can be treated with a combination of surgical removal and chemotherapy. All procedures are performed standing, with your horse under sedation and local anesthesia.

Some minor elective procedures can be performed on the farm, but most surgery is best done at our clinic in a clean, climate-controlled environment. For procedures that require general anesthesia, such as colic surgery, our veterinarians provide consultation and referral to a surgical hospital.
