THERAPY
In my experience it is incredible what a year or so of simply relaxing out in the field can do for an injured horse.
My own Spanish horse damaged his check ligaments whilst in Spain; he then proceeded to attain a 2 inch tear in his supraspinous ligament whilst on box rest for the check ligaments!
He was never expected to make a full recovery.
However, 2 years out and 1 years gentle schooling later he is 100% recovered, and working fantastically at medium level dressage.
Particularly beneficial for those horses not suited to box rest, whilst no miracles can be guaranteed, it is amazing what results can be achieved with time, patience and sensitive handling, backed up by physiotherapy and a suitable rehab programme.

Other treatment programmes available:
Box rest programmes including walking out & grazing in hand for suitable horses.
Chiropractic treatment by qualified Chiropractor.
Osteopathy.
Physiotherapy.
