Performance Evaluations
Advanced Technology Meets Precision Performance Assessment
While other providers rely solely on treating problems after they occur, we focus on identifying opportunities for improvement before they impact results.
We harness cutting-edge diagnostic tools and biomechanical analysis to uncover hidden performance potential — areas of strength to capitalize on, and weaknesses to address — long before they become limiting factors.
This isn’t routine check-up work — it’s integrated sports science trusted by elite human athletes for decades, now perfected for your equine champion.

FAQs About Performance Evaluations
What is included in a performance evaluation?
Each evaluation includes a comprehensive physical exam, gait analysis, conformation evaluation, and discussion of training goals to ensure your horse is performing at its peak.
How often should my horse have a performance evaluation?
We recommend quarterly evaluations for competition horses to monitor progress, prevent injury, and make proactive adjustments to training or care. In the interim, our team will set you up with weekly check points to determine if an evaluation is required sooner than the recommended quarter.
What are the signs that my horse may need a performance evaluation?
Of course! — you’ll receive a detailed report with tailored recommendations for conditioning, nutrition, and preventive treatments including, but not limited to, chiropractic, cupping, joint or IV therapies, and at home care such as light therapy.
Will you provide recommendations after the evaluation?
Decreased performance, difficulty with otherwise normal maneuverability, fatigue or exercise intolerance, loss of flexibility or behavior issues specifically related to under saddle work.
What’s the difference between a performance and lameness exam?
A performance exam is a proactive assessment to optimize a healthy horse’s athletic ability, detect subtle issues, and prevent injury.
A lameness exam is a reactive evaluation to diagnose and treat the cause of an existing gait abnormality or performance problem.
