Rehabilitation
The value of rehabilitation after an injury is commonly underestimated in equine medicine.
After a diagnosis of a lameness problem has been made, we can design a rehabilitation program for your horse after the initial treatment. Depending on the specific kind of injury or lameness, we will monitor the stages of rehabilitation with rechecks and evaluations with your veterinarian, making adaptations in the program based on the results. Rehabilitation services and lay-up board is available on-site, at High Knoll Equestrian Center. We can teach the rider, owner and trainer how to perform certain techniques (bandaging, massage, passive movements) and lunging or under saddle exercises that can contribute towards the horse improving his condition, if not regaining full athletic capacity. We can also provide clients with information on issues that affect a horse's performance, such as tack fit, arena footing, shoeing, etc.
Rehabilitation Boarding
With our on property boarding facility, High Knoll Equestrian Center, we are able to keep horses requiring long term medical therapy or rehabilitation services.
Game Ready™ Equine

The Game Ready System is used for post-workout therapy,chronic lameness, acute lameness, cellulitis, tendonitis, pre- and post-operative care, bowed tendons, stocked-up legs, wind puffs and more.
