Whether you’re roping, trail riding, or just watching your horse enjoy the pasture, it’s hard to see them in pain. When rest alone isn’t enough, regenerative medicine can help reduce inflammation, support healing, and restore comfort.

At Bear Creek Large Animal Clinic, we use modern, evidence-backed techniques to help horses recover from joint and soft tissue injuries. Our goal is always the same: fewer setbacks, faster recoveries, and better long-term outcomes.

What We Offer

ProStride and PRP Therapy

We use the horse’s own blood to create a targeted, anti-inflammatory injection that supports natural healing.

  • ProStride: Concentrated anti-inflammatory proteins plus growth factors
  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Delivers growth factors to promote tissue repair

Treatments are performed on-site with a stall-side centrifuge. In many cases, horses can receive treatment the same day as their evaluation.

Common uses:

  • Joint inflammation and arthritis
  • Tendon and ligament injuries
  • Soft tissue strain
  • Chronic pain that has not responded to other therapies

What to Expect

We start with a lameness exam tailored to your horse’s history and workload. This may include flexion tests, nerve blocks, X-rays, and ultrasound. Once we’ve identified the problem, we’ll talk through treatment options and what to expect.

If regenerative medicine is a good fit, we’ll collect a blood sample, process it right there on your property, and administer the injection under sterile conditions.

We’ll work with you to create a recovery plan that fits your horse’s needs and lifestyle.

Looking Ahead

We’re not just thinking about what we can do today. With our upcoming haul-in facility, you’ll have access to climate-controlled treatment spaces, padded recovery stalls, and more advanced diagnostics in a dedicated equine setting. It’s all designed to give you more options and a better experience when your horse needs care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Regenerative therapies are often used to treat joint pain, soft tissue injuries, early arthritis, and inflammation that has not responded to traditional rest or anti-inflammatories.

Not at all. We treat a range of horses, from competition athletes to backyard companions. If your horse is in pain or moving poorly, they may be a candidate.

Both are autologous blood products, meaning they’re made from the horse’s own blood. PRP delivers growth factors to support healing. ProStride contains those same components, plus concentrated anti-inflammatory proteins to target joint pain more effectively.

Yes. Since it’s made from the horse’s own blood and processed immediately before injection, the risk of reaction is very low. We use sterile technique and precision handling throughout the process.

Many horses experience improvement for 6 to 12 months after a single injection. Results vary depending on the condition and severity, and some horses may benefit from repeat treatment.

Yes. We can provide most regenerative treatments, including ProStride, on-site. For more complex cases or advanced diagnostics, our upcoming haul-in facility will offer additional options.

We’ll perform a full evaluation and imaging if needed. Then we’ll talk through your horse’s condition, your goals, and your options to help you make a confident decision.

Right now, we focus on ProStride and advanced diagnostics. Additional therapies may be added in the future once the haul-in facility is open.
