When to call

Call us if

  • You have been struggling with complex lameness or soundness issues
  • Your horse has an injury
  • Your horse has a “career ending” injury
  • You want your horse to perform at his best
  • You have any questions

You have been struggling with complex lameness or undiagnosed soundness issues.

We can help. Our approach to soundness exams and physical evaluation can quickly and accurately locate the source of the problem. From there we can develop and implement a treatment plan and have your horse back to work. In traditional approaches, complex lameness often becomes a guessing game of trial treatments and diagnostic testing. This can take several months and sometimes there is no definitive answer or solution. Call us for your complex lameness solutions.

Your horse has an injury.

Injury rehabilitation is a specialized field of medicine. Make sure your horse is in the care of properly trained professionals. Many years of medically based education is the only way to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to provide safe and effective treatment.

Your horse has a “career ending” injury.

We have many clients come to us with career ending injuries. Most return to full training and competition and continue to move up through the levels.

You want your horse to perform at his best.

We help you gain your horse’s optimal performance, achieve your goals, and become more successful in your training and competition. Our performance enhancement strategies include ensuring your horse’s body is in peak physical condition through correction and prevention of injuries, athletic development programs, and sports therapy incorporated into training and at competitions.

Correction and prevention of injuries is essential for your horse to perform at his best.

Unrecognized injuries can result in poor performance or different types of resistance. A very common injury is the pelvic angle discrepancy. An injury such as this can have devastating and frustrating results in training and performance.

Example
In jumping, if your horse twists over fences, has less power on take off, landing or making the inside turn, has difficulty jumping, turning, or has less scope on one lead, consistently takes rails with one foot, hangs a leg, or drifts it may be as simple as a pelvic angle discrepancy.

The same holds true for dressage. The results of a pelvic angle discrepancy can be your horse has trouble with square halts, lateral movements, or consistency with changes, isn’t as quick off one leg or doesn’t come through correctly, has difficulty turning, tilts his head, leans on the bit, or resists through one side.

Fortunately, the pelvic angle discrepancy can be corrected quite quickly, without your horse requiring any downtime, resulting in an immediate impact on your horse’s abilities and performance.

Training and athletic development programs can be designed specifically to your horse’s overall physical condition and fitness, level of training, and discipline. This can ensure your horse develops correctly and strengthens properly to minimize injury and maximize performance.

Sports therapy integrated into your training and at competitions helps you and your horse peak at the right time at the right competitions and keeps your horse as fresh on the last day as he is on the first.
