Rehabilitation
Why We Do It
Rehabilitation At Our Core
Our passion for rehabilitation was born from a fundamental passion of horse physiology. By recognizing the natural abilities of the horse and combining them with modern medicine, we can create an effective and beneficial rehabilitation program that is successful for the horses that come through our gates.

Hoof Rehab on the Worst Hang Nail
This horse hit a rock hard enough to crack his quarter. Dr. Allen Landes took off the broken quarter, exposing lamina. Then, our team used betadine with sugar on the exposed lamina, along with copper sulfate in the grooves of the frog and a lot of casting material to bring them full circle!

Rehab on a Degloved Leg
After making a mess of her leg, our team also had to battle frostbite when crystallization happened instantly on one cold February day (and I mean -20 degrees F actual temperature cold). After daily wrappings, stall rest, and lots of brainstorming, this horse was left with a minor scar.
