About Us Our Practice Newsletter

Chester Equine Practice  is an exclusively equine veterinary practice that provides quality care for the equine member of your family. We are dedicated to providing personalized and compassionate care for your horse. For over 30 years we have been giving clients all the practical information and options available to them with the ultimate goal of restoring and maintaining the health and well being of their horse.

 

 
Geriatric Horse Care

The normal effects of aging may begin to affect your horse around 15 to 20 years of age. Health care needs then change. Owners want their horse to spend their remaining years active, comfortable and happy. A complete yearly physical exam including routine blood work may expose existing situations such as impaired vision, arthritis, lameness, metabolic deficiencies, chewing and digestive difficulties, immune system compromise, heart anomalies and so forth. Time spent discussing general health soundness, appropriate feeds, use of supplements, cold weather considerations, management adaptations and exercise can greatly improve life quality. With proper care many horses can stay active and strong well into their 30's.

 

FINANCIAL POLICY:

We prefer that all services be paid at the time of service. We will accept payments in cash, by check, Visa or Master Card.
