This aerated spa bath is a great treatment option for many of our rehabilitation patients. The concentrated salt-water in the cold spa is chilled to 35F and carefully maintained to provide optimum treatment conditions and increase circulation. We can adjust the water level to treat specific areas on the lower limb as well as having a hose attachment that can treat other areas that can’t be submerged.

Our custom designed trojan free flow exerciser is 72’ and designed specifically for optimal exercise, and to accommodate all breeds of horses. Its large diameter not only allows space for larger breed horses, but also accommodates movement in a wider circle. This allows more direct forward motion, and less torque on your horse’s joints. The roomy compartments and flexible panels minimize injury risk. Our cover allows for exercise rain or shine, and protection of our well-kept footing. The footing is sand and rubber. It is worked and cleaned daily. This makes it ideal for rehabilitation and exercise, creating even and safe footing to reduce stress on your horse’s legs and joints.
Our Cutting Edge Laser is a Multi-wave Locked System Class IV laser. It is an effective way to treat pain, inflammation and edema. This laser has a tissue penetration of 3-4cm and can accelerate tissue repair without the risk of thermal damage.

Chiropractic care for horses is a specialized form of treatment focused on maintaining the health of a horse's musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine, joints, and nervous system. Just like humans, horses can experience misalignments or dysfunctions in their spine and joints that affect their mobility, comfort, and overall performance.
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is now increasingly recognized in modern veterinary care as an effective treatment for a variety of equine conditions. Whether you're managing a chronic injury, alleviating pain, or seeking to boost your horse's overall health, acupuncture can be a valuable addition to your horse's wellness regimen.
