Founded in 1997 by a DVM who has practiced equine medicine since 1992, Equitage Horsecare is a mobile veterinary practice serving horse owners throughout Encinitas and North San Diego County with 24-hour emergency response. The practice's sports medicine program includes lameness evaluation, gait analysis, and joint therapy for performance horses — diagnostics that directly support training programs at equestrian facilities like David Blake Dressage in the Cardiff-by-the-Sea area. Advanced equine dentistry, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and Class IV laser therapy form an integrative treatment model that addresses musculoskeletal, neurological, and metabolic conditions beyond conventional protocols. Headquartered on Encinitas Boulevard, the mobile unit reaches barns and ranches in the Olivenhain, Leucadia, and Rancho Santa Fe Road corridors, with nutritional consultations referencing the equine feed lines stocked at Carlsbad Pet & Feed. The practice's highest-acuity field procedures involve power-float dental equilibration using motorized burr instrumentation and intraoral endoscopic visualization to correct malocclusion and wave-mouth deformities in performance horses.
