This strategic location in Central New Jersey makes us easily accessible for horse owners across the state, from Monmouth County to surrounding areas.

Woodward Road provides straightforward access, ensuring that our team can quickly reach your farm during routine appointments or, critically, in emergency situations. While we operate primarily as an ambulatory practice, performing many services on-site at your facility, our base in Manalapan Township ensures we are well-positioned to serve the vibrant equestrian communities of New Jersey. Our ability to respond promptly to calls, even for non-clients during emergencies, as highlighted by a grateful owner whose horse experienced colic, underscores the practicality and accessibility of our service model for New Jersey horse owners.

Colts Neck Equine Associates offers a comprehensive suite of veterinary services specifically designed to meet the diverse and specialized needs of horses. Our expertise covers a wide range of equine health concerns, from routine care to advanced diagnostics and emergency interventions.

• Equine Ambulatory Services: Our primary service model involves on-farm veterinary care, where our skilled veterinarians travel directly to your location. This allows for examinations, diagnostics, and treatments to be performed in the familiar environment of your horse's home, reducing stress for the animal. This includes routine check-ups, vaccinations, and initial lameness evaluations.

• Emergency Services: We provide urgent care and emergency treatment for horses, understanding that equine emergencies can arise at any time. As noted by clients, we are responsive and prepared to manage critical situations like colic on the farm, even for non-clients when their regular vet is unavailable.

• Preventive Care & Wellness: Our preventive programs include tailored vaccination schedules, deworming strategies, Coggins testing (EIA), and comprehensive dental care, including floating. We emphasize proactive measures to maintain your horse's health and prevent illness.

• Lameness Evaluations: We specialize in diagnosing and treating lameness in horses. This involves thorough soundness exams complemented by advanced diagnostic equipment like digital X-ray, digital ultrasound, and in some cases, endoscopy and EKG, allowing for precise identification of the issue.

• Pre-Purchase Examinations (PPEs): Our veterinarians routinely perform comprehensive PPEs for prospective horse buyers. These thorough physical and soundness exams are often supported by advanced diagnostics to provide confident feedback on a horse's health and suitability for its intended purpose, even for out-of-state clients.

• Diagnostic Imaging: We are equipped with state-of-the-art digital radiology (X-ray) units, allowing for instantaneous processing and manipulation of images stall-side for immediate diagnosis of bone and joint issues. Digital ultrasound is also used for non-invasive imaging of soft tissues like tendons and ligaments, as well as for reproductive organ imaging and early detection of pregnancy or twins.

• Endoscopy: We utilize endoscopy to diagnose diseases of the head and respiratory tract, indicated for horses exhibiting nasal discharge, coughing, or exercise intolerance. Biopsies can also be collected via this method.

• Reproductive Services: Our expertise extends to equine reproduction, including services related to breeding soundness and pregnancy monitoring, utilizing advanced techniques like ultrasound for early embryo detection.

• Geriatric Equine Care: We provide specialized care for older horses, addressing age-related conditions and focusing on maintaining their quality of life.

• Online Pharmacy: For convenience, Colts Neck Equine Associates offers a fully stocked online pharmacy, allowing clients to order healthy equine essentials, medications, and supplements for home delivery. Refill requests can typically be made with 24-hour notice.

Colts Neck Equine Associates stands out within the New Jersey equine veterinary landscape due to several distinguishing features and highlights that underscore our commitment to excellence and client satisfaction.

• Specialized Equine Focus: Unlike mixed animal practices, Colts Neck Equine Associates is exclusively dedicated to horses. This singular focus allows our veterinarians to develop a deeper, more specialized understanding of equine physiology, diseases, and care, leading to more precise diagnoses and effective treatments. This specialization is a significant advantage for horse owners.

• Exceptional and Compassionate Veterinary Team: As highlighted by numerous client testimonials, our veterinarians, like Dr. Hughes, are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and caring. They go above and beyond, providing empathetic care during emergencies and thorough follow-ups, making clients feel supported and confident in their horse's treatment. This blend of expertise and genuine care is a core strength.

• Ambulatory and Emergency Responsiveness: Our primary ambulatory model allows us to bring comprehensive veterinary care directly to your farm, which is incredibly convenient for horse owners. Furthermore, our documented responsiveness in emergency situations, even for non-clients, demonstrates our commitment to the wider equine community's well-being. This immediate support during critical times is invaluable.

• Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities: We utilize cutting-edge diagnostic equipment, including four digital radiology units for instant, high-detail X-rays, and digital ultrasound for precise soft tissue and reproductive imaging. These advanced tools enable rapid and accurate diagnosis right at the farm, allowing for quicker treatment initiation.

• Thorough Pre-Purchase Examinations: Our expertise in PPEs is highly valued, with veterinarians conducting comprehensive physical and soundness exams, often complemented by advanced diagnostics. The ability to provide detailed and trusted feedback, even for out-of-state buyers who cannot be present, is a testament to our thoroughness and communication.

• Client Education and Communication: We prioritize clear and consistent communication with our clients. Whether it's post-visit follow-up calls or detailed explanations during PPEs, our team ensures horse owners are fully informed and confident in the care plan, fostering a strong partnership in equine health management.

• Fully Stocked Online Pharmacy: The convenience of an online pharmacy that offers medications, supplements, and essentials is a significant benefit. This allows clients to easily order and receive necessary products for their horses, enhancing the overall service experience.
