I love my boy, Docs Av Velocity, & was horrified to hear the word "laminitis" last September! But quick, kind, and professional care by Dr. Breanne Maraman at Performance Equine calmed most of my fears and gave me hope. She not only left me with a treatment plan, she also referred an excellent farrier who does a lot of laminitis cases and is proficient at reading X-rays. I still use him today for all my horses. The very friendly and knowledgeable staff kept in touch and answered all my questions in the following days & weeks. I'm so happy to report that Doc is back to his old self again, and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Performance Equine!

Welcome to Performance Equine Vets
Welcome to Performance Equine Vets, a dedicated pet hospital specializing in providing comprehensive and cutting-edge veterinary care exclusively for equine athletes and performance horses in the local community and surrounding regions. Understanding the unique demands placed on these magnificent animals, our practice is committed to optimizing their health, performance, and overall well-being through a wide range of specialized services delivered by experienced equine veterinarians and a dedicated support team.
At Performance Equine Vets, we pride ourselves on creating a professional and well-equipped environment tailored to the specific needs of horses. Our facilities are designed to ensure the safety and comfort of your equine companions during examinations, treatments, and procedures. This may include spacious examination areas, specialized diagnostic imaging suites, surgical facilities designed for equine procedures, and comfortable stabling for hospitalized patients. Recognizing that equine care often requires on-site services, Performance Equine Vets may also offer mobile veterinary services, bringing our expertise and equipment directly to your farm or stable. This flexibility allows for convenient and timely care in the horse's familiar environment.
As a specialized pet hospital within the veterinary care category, Performance Equine Vets focuses on a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the performance horse. A cornerstone of our practice is equine sports medicine. Our veterinarians possess in-depth knowledge of the biomechanics of equine athletes and are skilled in diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal conditions that can impact performance. We utilize advanced diagnostic techniques, including digital radiography, ultrasound, and potentially more specialized imaging such as MRI or nuclear scintigraphy (bone scans), to accurately identify the underlying causes of lameness and performance limitations.
Equine lameness evaluation is another critical service offered at Performance Equine Vets. Our veterinarians are highly experienced in performing thorough lameness examinations, utilizing nerve blocks and other diagnostic tools to pinpoint the source of pain and develop targeted treatment plans. We understand that subtle lameness can significantly affect a horse's athletic ability, and our meticulous approach aims to identify and address these issues effectively.
For conditions requiring surgical intervention, Performance Equine Vets offers a range of surgical services. Our surgical suite is equipped with modern anesthetic monitoring equipment and surgical instrumentation to ensure the safety and well-being of your horse during procedures. Our surgeons are experienced in performing various soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries relevant to performance horses. Post-operative care is a crucial aspect of our surgical services, and our team provides close monitoring and management to promote optimal healing and recovery.
Advanced diagnostics play a vital role in our ability to provide exceptional care. In addition to digital radiography and ultrasound, Performance Equine Vets may offer other specialized diagnostic services such as endoscopy (for evaluating the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts) and laboratory services tailored to equine needs. These tools enable us to gain a comprehensive understanding of your horse's condition and develop precise treatment strategies.
Preventative care is equally important for performance horses to maintain their health and prevent injuries. Performance Equine Vets offers comprehensive equine wellness programs, including routine health examinations, vaccinations tailored to the local risk factors and your horse's lifestyle, parasite control programs, and dental care. Proper dental health is crucial for a horse's overall well-being and performance, and our veterinarians are skilled in performing equine dental examinations and procedures.
Recognizing the importance of the equine foot in athletic performance, Performance Equine Vets may also offer specialized podiatry services or work closely with experienced farriers. Addressing hoof imbalances and related issues is essential for preventing lameness and optimizing performance.
For breeding farms and owners involved in equine reproduction, Performance Equine Vets may provide reproductive services such as breeding soundness examinations, artificial insemination, pregnancy diagnosis, and foaling assistance. Our expertise in equine reproduction can help optimize breeding success.
A key feature of Performance Equine Vets is our team of highly qualified and experienced equine veterinarians. Our vets have a deep understanding of the unique physiological demands of performance horses across various disciplines, including racing, jumping, dressage, and other equestrian sports. Their specialized knowledge allows them to provide tailored care that addresses the specific needs of your equine athlete.
While Performance Equine Vets' primary focus is on providing exceptional veterinary care, specific promotional offers may vary. We encourage you to contact our office directly or visit our website for any current promotions or special programs that may be available to new or existing clients. We are committed to providing value through our expertise and high-quality services.

Jun 09, 2022 · Babykins LawsonI, unfortunately, had to go through the terrifying experience of my horse colicing and requiring surgery. If it wasn’t for Dr. Caston, Dr. Jacob’s, Dr. Casey, Dr. Rachelle, Jess, Christian and the entire team at Performance Equine Vets, I don’t think my horse would have made it. Everyone, from the moment I arrived at 10pm at night with a horse that was in severe pain, were fantastic and they worked like a well tuned machine between the vets, and the technicians to take care of him. They let me know right away how he was recovering from surgery and what happened in the surgery at 2am which took a huge weight off my shoulders. And the following after care was top notch especially having a care specialist with me during every visit to talk about how my horse was doing and his care program after surgery. We are lucky to have equine surgeon Dr. Caston at Performance Equine here in Aiken, and highly recommend.
May 26, 2022 · Heather BushI am a trainer based out of Nebraska who spends the winters in Aiken, SC. I have been so incredibly impressed with Performance Equine. They are super easy to schedule through and correspond with. I have had them out for a handful of pre purchase exams where I found them to be very detailed and thorough with highest of quality digital x-ray available. They offer shockwave as well which is incredibly helpful in keeping my upper level eventers feeling their very best, all without requiring injections. Highly recommend!
Mar 23, 2022 · Brittiny VegasWe have been so incredibly impressed with our first experience with PEV. We were referred to them by our local vet due to a case of colic in one of our minis. Within minutes of being referred late at night, the team at PEV contacted us and prepared for our arrival. They welcomed our horse in the middle of the night with loving, professional, expert-level care and were in touch with us every step of the way during his recovery over a period of days. Thanks to their care, we get to go pick our sweet Teddy up tomorrow morning to bring him home. Thank you PEV for being so amazing throughout this terrible experience - we are grateful you are only a few hours up the road!
Feb 03, 2024 · CeeCee BeeI have used Performance Equine since moving here in 2017. I have 5 horses and have used them annually for everything from routine vaccines & dental care, to a tooth extraction with sinusitis requiring a frontal trephination and 5-day clinic stay. On another occasion, Dr. Sabrina came out on a Saturday morning for a colic call and continued to check in frequently with me throughout the day via text for updates. The group text functionality with the vet staff is awesome as all the vets were kept apprised of my mare’s status so that even during coverage change, the on-call vet was already up to speed on Jo’s progress. I can’t say enough good things about the entire staff at Performance. The front-end staff, the techs, the hospital staff and the veterinarians are all top notch. Highly recommend.
