EQUINE
HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER
|
The
goal of the Equine Health and Rehabilitation Center is to provide
a healing environment for the rehabilitation of injured, abused,
neglected and performance horses, using traditional and alternative
approaches to equine health care.
We
have a number of horses at the facility in our rehabilitation
program, including one horse who was severely burned in a barn
fire. Through this program we hope to rehabilitate horses and
include them in our programs. For instance the severely burned
horse can inspire a child or adult who has suffered from burns
or other disabilities. There are documented cases showing how
the bond between horse and human can be therapeutic.

our comprehensive health care program we allow the HORSE TO
BE THE BEST THAT HE CAN BE. Whether you have an Olympic champion,
backyard trail horse or a top level racehorse we can guide your
horse to complete recovery and back into work and top level
competition. |
