Understanding Your Situation
Most vets treat horses. We specialize in performance horses.
There’s a difference between a horse that’s healthy and a horse that’s performing at their ceiling. If your horse is off — subtle lameness, dropped canter, inconsistent performance, something you can’t quite name — you need specialists who understand what competition demands.
What you're dealing with
- A horse that's "not quite right" but not obviously lame
- Inconsistent performance that no one can explain
- Recommendations for surgery before all options are explored
- Long waits with generalists who don't know your discipline
- No clear return-to-competition timeline
What we deliver
- Thorough lameness workups — flexion tests, nerve blocks, imaging
- Digital radiography and endoscopy on-site, same visit
- Dr. Rullan and team — every treatment customized to your horse
- EPIC rehabilitation center on-site for recovery and conditioning
- Clear diagnosis, honest plan, no unnecessary procedures

What Horse Owners Say
Real results from performance horse owners
From diagnosis to recovery, we have every tool in-house. No referral runaround.
"We have a performance horse who likes to drag her back legs sometimes. They found a fragment in her stifle — possibility of surgery. Instead of scheduling that, they did more tests to make 100% sure if it was affecting her or not. It was not at all, so they said no need to touch it. We appreciate the time and care they all had invested. She's 100% sound."
— Jennifer, Performance Horse Owner
"This place is now my favorite vet of all time! They don't try to take all your money or talk you into treatments that are unneeded, they don't rush the appointments, they answer all of your questions — and best of all the entire staff truly CARES about the animals they're treating."
— Sydney, PEVS Client
"Dr. Rullan was very thorough. He explained everything in detail and reviewed her ultrasound pictures with me, explaining the anatomy. I knew she was in the best of hands the moment she stepped out of the trailer. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who has an equine in need of professional evaluation of any type of lameness."
— Elaine, Mule & Horse Owner
"Tremendous customer service from EVERYONE at Performance Equine! Dr. Colton (who hadn't even worked on this case) stopped me to ask how my mare's wound was healing. It meant so much that everyone — from office staff to vet techs to veterinarians — makes you feel so welcomed and so important."
— Katie, Mare Owner
