Wellogy collaborated with The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine to design a new facility for diagnosing equine lameness. Previously, these diagnoses were conducted in a barn breezeway. The newly enclosed arena supports year-round use and offers an open-air observation area for clients. The Ralph Rogan Equine Performance Evaluation Arena is a part of OSU's Galbreath Equine Center and enhances equine care with advanced diagnostic capabilities. It features diverse surfaces, optimal lighting, and multi-function rooms, allowing for precise gait evaluations in realistic settings. The arena also provides an invaluable learning space for students and residents, allowing for the demonstration and practice of diagnostic and treatment techniques in a controlled environment, thereby enhancing the educational experience. The ability to observe horses in a variety of conditions, including under saddle, jumping, replicates the environments in which issues may arise. This comprehensive observation capability reduces the reliance on client-provided videos and enhances the reliability of the diagnosis. The arena includes a no-dust, specialized synthetic sand-like footing and a non-slip asphalt jogging strip that mimic competition conditions, providing a realistic and familiar setting for both horse and rider. This design facilitates a more precise assessment of the horse's movement. Educational facilities, including a learning conference room, provide hands-on training for students and residents. Funded by a generous donor, this state-of-the-art facility ensures that Midwest equine receive top-tier, compassionate care. It also honors the legacy of Ralph Rogan, a dedicated American Saddlebred Horse enthusiast.
