Dental disease is common in horses and often goes unnoticed. Horses cannot tell us when they have dental pain, and many continue to work despite significant discomfort. Subtle issues such as sharp enamel points, hooks, infundibular caries, or fractured teeth can affect chewing, condition, and performance. At Equifarm, we focus on identifying and correcting these problems early so your horse can remain comfortable, healthy, and willing to work.
Our approach to modern equine dentistry starts with a proper oral examination. Your horse is sedated so we can perform a thorough and safe evaluation of the entire mouth. Using modern lightweight motorised instruments, dental corrections are performed while your horse’s head rests comfortably on a padded headstand. This allows continuous visualisation of the teeth throughout the procedure and ensures accurate, controlled treatment.
Most horses benefit from routine dental care every 8 to 10 months. Once dental pain is addressed, many horses show natural improvements in comfort, attitude, and performance. Book your horse’s dental visit and make sure hidden dental pain is not holding them back.
Horses can develop serious medical problems quickly. Conditions such as colic, injuries, and acute illness often require rapid assessment and treatment. Early veterinary intervention can make the difference between a straightforward recovery and a life threatening situation. Equifarm provides prompt emergency response and practical medical care to stabilise your horse and address the underlying problem.
Our service covers urgent emergencies as well as general medical conditions. We arrive with the equipment and experience needed to assess your horse, start treatment immediately, and guide the next steps in care. Whether your horse is showing signs of abdominal pain, has suffered an injury, or develops fever or sudden illness, we focus on fast diagnosis, effective treatment, and clear communication with the owner.
If your horse develops sudden pain, injury, or illness, contact us immediately so we can respond quickly and provide the care your horse needs.
When a horse becomes lame, develops colic, or shows signs of illness, seeing what is happening inside the body is often the key to the correct diagnosis. At Equifarm, we use modern portable diagnostic imaging to examine your horse directly at your stable. This avoids unnecessary transport, reduces stress for the horse, and allows problems to be investigated quickly and efficiently.
Our mobile imaging equipment allows us to evaluate bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and internal organs on site. Images are available immediately, so findings can be reviewed with you straight away and treatment decisions can be made without delay.
With mobile imaging from Equifarm, your horse receives advanced diagnostics without leaving the yard. Contact us to schedule a diagnostic examination or book farrier x-rays for your horse
Reduced performance and stiffness are often early signs of joint pain in sport and endurance horses. Joint inflammation can limit movement, reduce willingness to work, and eventually lead to more serious lameness if not addressed. At Equifarm, we focus on identifying the source of joint pain and applying targeted treatments to restore comfort and maintain long term soundness.
Every joint treatment begins with a proper lameness investigation to identify the affected area. Diagnostic imaging and clinical examination guide the treatment plan so the correct joint is treated with the most appropriate therapy. All procedures are performed at your stable, allowing your horse to receive advanced care without the stress of transport.
These advanced therapies help reduce joint inflammation, improve comfort, and support continued performance in sport and endurance horses. Contact Equifarm to discuss advanced joint treatment options for your horse.
Back pain and sacroiliac dysfunction are common causes of poor performance in ridden horses. Many horses continue to work despite discomfort, showing only subtle behavioural or movement changes. These signs are often linked to pain and are described in the Ridden Horse Ethogram.
At Equifarm, diagnosis starts with a detailed clinical examination and ridden assessment to identify whether the back or sacroiliac region may be contributing to the problem. Treatments are performed at your stable and are designed to reduce pain, restore function, and support correct movement.
Book a performance evaluation if your horse has gait changes, changes in head or body movements, or behaviours such as bucking or rearing.
Lameness can appear suddenly or develop slowly over time. Some horses show obvious pain, while others simply stop performing as they used to. Subtle changes such as uneven movement, reluctance to work, or intermittent lameness often indicate an underlying problem that needs proper investigation.
At Equifarm, we perform systematic lameness evaluations at your stable to identify the exact source of discomfort. Each examination includes careful observation of your horse in motion, both in hand and under saddle when needed. Diagnostic techniques are then used step by step to pinpoint the painful area and guide an effective treatment plan aimed at returning your horse safely to work.
Schedule a lameness evaluation with Equifarm to identify the problem and help your horse return to training and competition.
Many horse owners struggle with feeding programs that do not match their horse’s needs. Poor grass quality, unbalanced concentrate feeding, and incorrect supplement use can contribute to problems such as gastric ulcers, weight loss, and reduced performance. Even small mistakes in the daily ration can affect your horse’s health and ability to work.
At Equifarm, we help owners evaluate what their horses are actually eating and adjust the diet to better match age, workload, and health requirements. Most consultations are done remotely, making it easy to review your current feeding program and identify where improvements can be made. The goal is a practical feeding plan using feeds commonly available such as concentrates, lucerne, and teff.

Competing with your horse requires careful preparation, and many events require an official veterinarian on site to ensure horse welfare and regulatory compliance. Riders and organisers need confidence that horses are properly assessed, treated when necessary, and monitored throughout the competition.
At Equifarm, we provide experienced veterinary support for equestrian events across Namibia and South Africa. Whether acting as the official competition veterinarian or the treating vet, we help ensure that horses are inspected, welfare standards are maintained, and any medical issues are handled promptly so the event can run smoothly.
Partner with the team that understands the pressures of competition.
Some equine conditions require advanced surgical expertise that is not always available locally. Dental fractures, severe sinus infections, and other surgical conditions can require specialist treatment to resolve the problem properly and prevent ongoing pain or complications for the horse.
At Equifarm, we coordinate specialist surgical care through our referral network and host visiting veterinary specialists at our purpose-built surgical facility. This allows horses in Namibia to receive advanced procedures without travelling abroad. We work closely with Veterinary Specialists in Equine Dentistry and Equine Surgery, assisting with preparation, anaesthesia or standing sedation, and providing follow-up care after the procedure.
Contact Equifarm to discuss referral options for complex cases requiring specialist surgical care.
When herd health problems develop, the impact is often seen first in reduced production and financial losses. Fertility problems, disease in the herd, poor nutrition, or undetected infections can quietly reduce growth rates, milk production, and overall herd performance.
At Equifarm, we work with livestock and small stock owners to identify health problems early and implement practical herd health solutions. Farm visits allow us to evaluate the herd in its environment and address issues such as fertility, disease control, nutrition, and production efficiency in pasture-based systems with supplementary feeding.
