MEET YOUR
EQUINE TEAM

More experience. More collaboration.
More options for your horse.

December 3, 2026

Dr. Esselman's next visit:

You can tell when something is off with your horse...

Maybe your horse isn't moving quite right. Maybe performance has changed. Or maybe you're looking for another experienced perspective.

Our collaborative approach brings additional equine expertise to Council Grove, so you can explore the next steps without automatically having to travel hours for care.

What does it cost?

Lameness and performance exams are $81.75. Total cost depends on your horse’s needs, diagnostics, or treatments. We’ll always explain next steps before moving forward.

GO BACK

What if my horse seems fine?

That’s actually the best time to schedule. Subtle changes often show up before real problems do, and catching them early keeps your horse performing longer.

GO BACK

What kinds of cases DO Dr. Hague & Dr. Esselman see?

Everything from pre-purchase exams and soft-tissue injuries to long-term lameness or performance issues. If your horse is an athlete or works hard, he can help.
