	Perinatology involves monitoring the pregnant mare throughout gestation, assuring the foal stays healthy in that neonatal period and has a healthy birth.
	Exercise Physiology medicine involves dealing with any medical problem that affects the performance of your horse. The heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, intestinal tract, and muscle system must function at maximum efficiency for peak performance.
	Equine Geriatrics is developing into a new field of medicine as our equine friends continue to age, the oldies have special medical needs. Finally, optimal nutrition provides optimal health.
