Footing report says "fine." The tractor says "we'll see about that."

Fall show season is footing roulette. Dry one week, soaked the next. Every pass of the drag and water cart is quiet damage control before your horse ever sets foot in there.

Tag the trainer who trusts the groundskeeper more than the forecast.

Before the show, the sale, or the comeback, there's a veterinarian in the barn.

Early calls. Late nights. Twelve hundred pounds of patient who can't tell you where it hurts. The people who do this work know these horses by their habits, their history, and the way they stand when something's off.

At EPL, we think a lot about the people behind the horse. This one's for the veterinarians and vet techs who give the time and care this field demands, especially on the hard days.

Tag a veterinarian or vet tech deserves a "thank you" this season.

Horse First, Sport Second

Always talk to your veterinarian about your horse's specific health picture.

ACVS Surgery Summit 2026 was a sparkling success! ✨

Our team brought the science and sparkle, but the real MVPs were our veterinary panelists and the veterinarians who brought tough questions, clinical insights, and meaningful conversations about equine biologics and the future of equine care.

A sincere thank you to Dr. Alicia L. Bertone for presenting the flash poster on the pragmatic prospective controlled trial comparing equicenta® CTM with clinician-selected standard of care in performance horses, and for moderating “Umbilical Cord Allograft (equicenta® CTM) in Real-World Lame Performance Horses.”

Thank you to our panelists for sharing their expertise, clinical insight, and real-world experience:

• Dr. Molly Bellefeuille — Northern Star Equine Veterinary Services
• Dr. Andrew Smith — Peterson & Smith Equine Hospital
• Dr. Alec Davern — Tryon Equine Hospital

The panel explored how equicenta® CTM, a ready-to-use cryopreserved equine umbilical cord tissue allograft, fit into their own caseloads of lame performance horses.

From all of us at Equine Performance Labs, thank you to everyone who stopped by, joined the conversation, and posed with our equicenta® CTM disco vial. 🐎

See you next year!
