Thank you, Dr. Keegan, for inventing the single best piece of equipment I have purchased in my 36 years of practice. It has changed my life. I was considering retiring, but am now excited to perform lameness evaluations again and looking forward to practicing for years to come.

In our environment, [the Equinosis Q with Lameness Locator] helps to minimize conflict with trainers who might say ‘You know this horse’s action! The last time he looked exactly the same and won; so, why do you have an issue with him this time around?’ LL is useful to confirm a decline in the quality of movement and defend a regulatory decision. We often put LL ‘workup’ requirements on horses in training that have been recorded or found to be lame as part of their suitability to return to training. We also use the LL to support the enforcement of the compulsory retirement of horses with pathology that may compromise welfare.

Equinosis has become the standard by which I assess all lameness cases. After looking at lame horses for four decades, I now realize I was examining horses without as much information as I needed before I was using the Q. My clients, many of whom are discerning professionals, now rely on this technology as much as I do. After assessing more than 500 horses in the past 3 years, I have two hard and fast rules: never assess a nerve block without using the Q and never let my clients purchase a horse without the information offered by the Q.

I have been a user of the [Equinosis® Q with] Lameness Locator® in my practice for multiple years and have found it to be extremely valuable in adding pertinent information in dealing with the complexities of equine lameness. The system provides repeatable information, and I find it most consistent with the clinical presentations.

I just love the machine. So helpful. Great tool to add to my practice. I feel it has helped me become a better vet and I have learned more about the biomechanics of the horse. I use it almost daily. Love love love it!

Equinosis is the perfect system to assess horse’s response to treatment. Here at UC Davis, we currently conduct several clinical trials to treat specific cartilage, ligamentous and tendinous lesions with mesenchymal stem cells. The Lameness Locator allow us to precisely assess the degree of improvement after treatment. This not only helps us to determine if future treatment is required, but also provides the objectivity and accuracy essential for research publications.

I am lucky enough to have Dr. W Davis hands on my top dressage horses, and I was completely impressed with your technology and thankful Dr. Davis has it in his back pocket. It makes the whole process easier and less stressful for owner and rider.

Our trip to Dr. Propp in Pryor, Oklahoma, was a game changer for Chance. We’d been to local vets many times, but were just throwing money at problems without knowing if we had found the true cause of his issues. The Lameness Locator helped us find the real root of his problems, and we’ve been able to maintain him as a tough 1D/rodeo horse because of what we learned that day. Three years later, he just finished running 5th out of over 200 last Friday at Topeka, KS.
