Arizona Horse Project!
spacer (1K)
A group of horse enthusiasts has joined together to promote the Colonial Spanish Horse as the State Horse of Arizona.  The committee wants to recognize the Colonial Spanish Horses for their contribution to Arizona history.  Arizona State Representatives Pat Fleming and Nancy Young Wright are sponsoring a bill to name them as the Official State Horse. 

The importance of this horse in the development of Arizona's history emphasizes the importance of ALL horses in modern Arizona.  For additional information and details on the project, please visit The Arizona Horse Project website.

Cutting Edge Veterinary Service where People Make the Difference - Cave Creek Equine Surgical & Diagnostic Imaging Center!
spacer (1K)
Your performance horse is not turning his barrels properly, or he doesn't swap leads cleanly, he can't roll back to the left, he doesn't want to sit down and collect, or he drifts over his fences. Maybe you have a lameness that is difficult to diagnose or a bone chip that needs to be removed. Perhaps that labored breathing is affecting your horse's performance and health.  You've been told that your favorite ride has a torn suspensory or navicular disease. Can you fix it? Do you need help? Do you really know your options?

At Cave Creek Equine Surgical & Diagnostic Imaging Center, they have a team of dedicated professionals who will provide unparalleled diagnosis, care and treatment for your horse.  Dr. Ross Rich is one of the best diagnosticians in the country, with the training and background you need for proper diagnosis of your performance problems. His exemplary surgical skills have saved horses who would otherwise be unrideable or put down from their injuries.  His staff of technicians, managers, and stable care professionals are all highly trained and experienced horse people with managed care and anesthesia techniques which provide the safest possible environment for your athlete.

State of the Art Facility and MRI Suite!
(Cave Creek Equine Surgical & Diagnostic Imaging Center, continued)
spacer (1K)
Their state of the art facility includes an Equine MRI Suite where horses can be presented under general anesthesia for the procedure, ensuring a higher quality image than with a standing MRI.  They also provide a full or half body bone scan to help find problem spots that other diagnostic procedures have missed.  Dr. Rich is in on the forefront of the industry in the use of stem cell therapy for treatment of injuries.  Currently, they are also beginning the use of a new, less expensive stem cell related therapy.  All of this is in addition to the more common diagnostic procedures such as routine lameness exams on various footing surfaces, digital x-rays, and ultrasound imaging.  They also provide orthopedic and upper airway surgery, shockwave treatments, IRAP Joint Therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma, Tildren, Laser Surgery, and shoeing evaluations.

When you require a trained and experienced eye and hand, Cave Creek Equine Surgical & Diagnostic Imaging Center, at the corner of Carefree Hwy & 14th Street, is the place to go.  Call 623-581-5508 for a quote or appointment, or
visit the center's website.

International Three Day Rider Relocating to Cave Creek!
spacer (1K)
Marie Davidson is a unique riding instructor and trainer recently relocated from Flagstaff.  Marie holds a Master's Degree in Education, along with over 30 years of training from the best in the world.  This includes the USET's Jacques LeGoff, while being long listed for the US Olympic Three-Day Team, and A rating from the USPC, numerous Year End High Point Awards in various disciplines, and a lifetime of experience training, showing, and rehabilitating everything from reining horses to foxhunters, dressage and jumpers.  She has trained horses, riders and competed internationally with horses she trained herself, including Jet Set, who won a silver medal at the Pan Am Games, Me Three, winner of the Bromont International Three Day, and Doubt About who placed 8th at the Rolex KY International Three Day Event.

Marie moved to Cave Creek last August to take on the role of Office Manager for Dr. Ross Rich of Cave Creek Equine Surgical & Diagnostic Imaging Center.  "Dr. Rich helped me rehabilitate my retired event horses.  I was able to ride and compete that horse for another year, including a win at Third Level at the Spring Dressage Show at WestWorld.  The horse was 27 years old.  What a gift to compete that horse again!"

When Dr. Rich offered Marie the position in the Cave Creek Office, she saw an opportunity to move to a milder climate and to be closer to the vet she feels keeps her horses in top form.  Marie is now taking new students, so please contact her at 928-853-5656 or send her an e-mail.
