Mornington Peninsula Equine Vet
for Performance & Soundness
Core Equine provides mobile equine veterinary services across the Mornington Peninsula, with a focus on performance assessment, soundness monitoring and the diagnosis of lameness and movement-related conditions.
We work with sport horses, competition yards, and pleasure horse owners throughout the region, offering a practical, evidence-based approach to musculoskeletal health and performance.
Our services combine veterinary diagnostics, objective gait analysis, spinal assessment, rehabilitation planning, and on-site therapies, delivered at your property without the disruption of transport.
Performance and Soundness on the Peninsula
We work with performance yards, competition horses, and pleasure horse owners across the Mornington Peninsula. We understand that maintaining soundness and identifying problems early is important for protecting both horse welfare and long-term performance. Many horses on the Peninsula are in regular, demanding work, and the difference between a horse performing at its best and one that is subtly compensating is not always immediately visible.
Seeing your horse at their property allows them to be evaluated in their normal environment, without transport stress or unnecessary disruption to training and competition schedules.
We support horses with lameness concerns, poor performance, spinal discomfort, rehabilitation monitoring, and pre-purchase assessments. Our approach combines detailed veterinary assessment with objective gait analysis, diagnostic imaging, and practical management strategies tailored to the individual horse. On-site therapies may include ultrasound-guided injections, shockwave therapy, and regenerative medicine options where clinically indicated.
When Should You Book an Assessment?
Subtle changes in performance, comfort, or consistency can be early indicators that a horse is compensating. This is especially important for horses in regular training, competition, or increasing workloads.
Declining Performance
Loss of impulsion, difficulty maintaining collection, altered jumping technique, uneven contact, or reduced willingness to work.
Competition Preparation
Pre-season or mid-season checks to assess soundness, spinal function, movement symmetry, and readiness for competition demands.
Subtle or Intermittent Lameness
Mild unevenness, stiffness on one rein, canter issues, shortened stride, or asymmetry that is difficult to define.
Pre-Purchase & Baseline Assessments
Veterinary assessment, objective gait analysis, and optional imaging to support purchase decisions or establish a baseline for future management.
