May 2026 | EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN 12 For horse owners across eastern Pennsylvania, Quakertown Veterinary Clinic is a trusted partner in maintaining equine health at every stage of life. As a full-service equine hospital, surgical facility, and am- bulatory practice, the clinic delivers around-the-clock care—open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—with a team of nine experienced large-animal veterinarians. Focused on extending both the quality and lon- gevity of the horse–owner relationship, Quakertown Veterinary Clinic offers a comprehensive range of advanced medical services. From digital radiogra- phy and endoscopy to complex surgical procedures such as colic surgery and arthroscopy, the clinic is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide spectrum of conditions. Specialized care includes lameness eval- uations, joint injections, stem cell therapy, oph- thalmology, and reproductive services, including embryo transfer and stallion management. Preventative care remains a cornerstone of their approach. Routine vaccinations protect against common infectious diseases, while regular dental exams ensure optimal nutrition and comfort. Tar- geted intestinal parasite screening supports more effective deworming protocols, helping to reduce colic risk and combat parasite resistance. The clinic’s in-house laboratory—offering he- matology, serum chemistry, cytology, bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, and same-day Coggins testing—allows for rapid diagnostics and timely treatment decisions. Serving a 60-mile radius from Quakertown, the practice combines advanced technology with responsive, hands-on care—sup- porting the health, performance, and well-being of horses year-round.

Footing, hoof care, nutrition, bandaging, thoughtful training— you leave no stone unturned. Except, maybe, the stones in your arena? If you’ve never given a thought to rocks that might be lurking under the surface of your arena footing, you’re not alone. But there’s a local com- pany with a product that takes that one last bit of potential trouble out of your arena and your life. Ideal Rockaway, located in Gordonville, Lancaster County, PA, specializes in manufac- turing the Rockaway Landscape Rake, a rock rake attachment that pulls rocks from ½” to eight inches in diameter from your footing. Just attach it to your skid steer or tractor and start (de)rocking. Ideal’s rock rakes come in three sizes -- 84” wide, 74” wide, and 44” wide for skid steers. All are designed and built in the USA. You can count on Amish manufacturing and top-lev- el performance. They come with a standard quick-attach skid steer attachment plate or dingo or mini bobcat plates for stand-on skid steers. A new addition is a screening bucket ver- sion, perfect for horse arena rock removal be- cause once you are done with pulling out the rocks, you can screen out most of the arena footing that got collected with the rocks, placing it back in the arena. Screening buckets are available for all three Rockaway models. Ideal Rockaway attachments are low-mainte- nance and highly reliable. Using a single rotor as- sembly with a protected dry chain drive system, these rock rakes don’t experience the common breakdown issues some other brands struggle with. Fewer moving parts mean fewer problems. Watch a video of Ideal Rockaway removing rocks from the Columbia Riding Club arena in Lancaster County, PA at idealrockaway.com .
