Our Services
Special Emphasis on Body Lameness
With years of experience in sports medicine, Dr. Ashman of Hoofbeats Equine Service came to the realization that leg lameness is often secondary to a problem higher up. After researching body lameness with very little luck, Dr. Ashman finally discovered Dr. Audrey and Kate. Since finding them, Dr. Ashman has dedicated her professional life to studying under her colleagues and learning what they have discovered in relation to body lameness. As a result, Dr. Ashman, using a whole horse approach, has successfully treated sleep deprivation, head shakers, chronic suspensory horses, chronic back pain, shoulder dysfunction with wither pain, and many behavioral horses.
