PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Performance horses are athletes, and can have soreness
issues that are not bad enough to cause an obvious lameness.
In these instances, the performance of the animal may be
reduced, although they are still capable of doing their
jobs. For this reason, it is recommended to have a complete
lameness and physical exam, which is referred to as a
performance evaluation, several times throughout the year,
and is particularly helpful prior to competitive events so
that performance can be optimized. The take home point of
the performance evaluation is to not wait until an obvious
problem exists before scheduling a visit. By being proactive
in your equine athletes competitive career, potentially
career ending injuries and problems can be caught early and
addressed.
