Don’t miss out on our Spring Stomach Scope Special - spots are filling up fast!

Horses that travel, compete, or eat high-concentrate diets are at higher risk for gastric ulcers.

Ulcers can contribute to:
• Poor performance
• Weight loss
• Girthiness or sour behavior
• Recurrent colic

Gastroscopy is the only definitive way to diagnose ulcers and determine their location and severity.

Farm calls are available for this!

Scope Special: $195 per horse, including sedation
• Haul-ins: 1 to 5 horses per visit
• Farm calls (within 30 minutes, call fee split): 2 to 5 horses per visit

📞 Call or text 530-955-6556 to schedule - special ends February 27th - schedule today!

Dr. Corey is using ultrasound here to evaluate the extent of a wound on the hock of this horse. We can use metallic probes to see exactly where a penetrating wound went on ultrasound and X-ray.

Dr. Ari treated this wonderful horse after-hours the other night. He unfortunately sustained a deep wound to his chest from a stick, but he is on the mend now!

Huge thank you to our clients who joined us this past Saturday at Trailblazer Pizza for an educational evening with the Gateway Equine team.

Dr. Corey Harms discussed how to recognize, manage, and prevent back soreness in horses, while Dr. Ari Merari broke down the realities of equine nutrition and what’s really in your feed bin.

We appreciate the great questions and conversations—education is always better when shared.

If you joined us, drop a comment and tell us one takeaway you found helpful—we’d love to hear!

Dr. Harms is shown treating a more complicated wound this past week with a regional limb perfusion, which allows extremely high antibiotic concentrations in the leg.

A safe and Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all.
This is Dr. Corey's horse, Trooper. He's a 25 year old Kiger Mustang, and he takes his current job of eating grass and being the Gateway mascot very seriously.
