About Us
At LaSalle Equine Clinic, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and cost-effective equine veterinary care to help ensure the general wellness of your horses. Our mission is to promote and encourage a healthy lifestyle for your equine partners by focusing on factors such as exercise, nutrition, and healthcare. We believe in preventative medicine and education, empowering horse owners with the tools they need to manage their equine partners' health effectively.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of your horses. Our wellness program is a cornerstone of our practice, involving regular wellness exams that include a full physical examination, soundness check, and fecal sampling for parasite analysis. These exams help identify potential problems early, allowing us to provide timely interventions and prevent more serious issues from arising.
Our diagnostic testing capabilities are state-of-the-art, equipped with resources such as blood, stool, and urine tests, digital radiographs, ultrasound, and the Equinosis Q Lameness Locator. This advanced technology helps us objectively measure a horse's movement, identify lameness, and determine the severity and location of the issue. We also provide deworming services tailored to each horse's individual needs, ensuring they remain free from internal parasites.
In addition to our general care services, we specialize in reproductive services for both mares and stallions. Our reproductive services include breeding soundness evaluations, complete physical examinations, ultrasound-assisted rectal examinations, endometrial cytology and culture, endometrial biopsy, video uteroscopy, hormonal profiling, and embryo transfer procedures. We also offer semen collection and evaluation, as well as comprehensive hormone profiling for stallions.
Commitment to Care
At LaSalle Equine Clinic, we strive to provide exceptional client service alongside high-quality care. Our expert team of veterinary professionals is committed to easing the stress of your horse's healthcare visit. We believe in transparency and will explain all procedures to you, ensuring you understand what to expect. In some cases, we may refer you to specialists with advanced training in areas like equine surgery, lameness, or ophthalmology, ensuring your horse receives the best possible care.
Our Approach
We are proactive in our approach to equine health, encouraging regular wellness exams and preventative measures to avoid serious problems. We understand that changes in your horse's health can be subtle and often go unnoticed. To assist in identifying potential issues, we recommend keeping a regular journal of your horse's health problems, including changes in behavior, eating habits, urination patterns, and bowel movements. This journal will be invaluable if you ever need to seek veterinary care while on the road or change veterinarians.

At LaSalle Equine Clinic, we are passionate about providing unique lifelong care for your horses. Our commitment to compassionate, cost-effective care, combined with our advanced diagnostic capabilities and specialized reproductive services, makes us your trusted partner in maintaining the health and well-being of your equine partners.
