Regenerative Musculoskeletal Tissue Support Designed Around Long-Term Soundness

At Equine Performance Labs, our mission—"Horse First, Sport Second"—drives us to generate peer-reviewed data, conduct controlled clinical trials, and engage openly with regulatory bodies so that veterinarians can make informed, evidence-based decisions for their patients.

Grounded in Safety and Scientific Rigor

We began with safety. equicenta® CTM has been evaluated in controlled clinical use and cases, with structured follow-up and pharmacovigilance. Our manufacturing follows rigorous donor screening, tissue processing, and release testing to help protect horses and the veterinarians who care for them.

equicenta® CTM is produced under a quality management system built on our guiding principle, “Horse First, Sport Second.” That means every step—from donor herd management and umbilical cord collection to processing, batch-level identity testing, and ongoing clinical evaluation—is designed to put equine welfare, scientific rigor, and regulatory transparency ahead of short-term trends.

Our goal is to set a benchmark for how animal cell- and tissue-based products should be developed, overseen, and used in horse medicine. We are ISO 13485 certified and follow FDA CVM Guidance for Industry #218, #253 and #254 in all our processes.

equicenta® CTM

Musculoskeletal tissue injuries shouldn’t cost a career.

Joint, tendon, and ligament injuries remain one of the leading causes of lost performance days and early retirement in sport horses. equicenta® CTM is designed to support your veterinarian’s treatment plan—working alongside proper diagnostics, rest, and rehabilitation, not replacing them.

At Equine Performance Labs

Our Mission

Horse First. Sport Second.

Our mission is to advance equine medicine in a way that always puts the horse first and sport second. We exist to give veterinarians tools that support soundness, comfort, and long-term health, even when that means saying “not today” to competition. Every decision—from the therapies we develop to the way we talk about them—starts with one question: “Is this in the best interest of the horse?”

Our Vision

A New Standard for Equine Care

Our vision is a performance horse world where welfare is never compromised for short-term results. We aim to help set a new standard for equine tissue-based therapies: rigorously studied, transparently communicated, and integrated into thoughtful rehab plans rather than used as quick fixes. By partnering with veterinarians, owners, and trainers who share these values, we want to build a future where regenerative tools extend healthy careers, reduce suffering, and keep horses at the center of every decision.
