Trying to gauge interest. How many people would be interested in using a dry treadmill with incline options for conditioning? We have a fantastic panel walker that we can only use when the weather permits. Adding a dry treadmill would provide greater options for CONSISTENT conditioning work. I think we would come in at a slightly lower price point per service than the water treadmill. It also gives us more options for rehab for injuries where the resistance from the water treadmill is contraindicated, and with healing incisions that can’t get wet. What are your thoughts? It would exercise different muscle groups and could be used on alternate days from the WTM for optimal conditioning. Taking comments, so please let your thoughts be heard!

Disclaimer: Long and boring year in review post ahead.

I’m so ready to leave 2024 in the dust, and not look back. We had our best and busiest year yet with the business. We were at capacity several months and actually had to put people on a waiting list, a new experience for us! The word is getting out. People are starting to hear from others that there is an equine rehab & conditioning center in SW MI that can and does help horses become better versions of themselves.

We’ve had some of the biggest trials of our lives last year, starting at the end of Jan/24, when Dale had a ladder slide out from under him, breaking his femur in two places and shattering his heel. Nearly a month in the ortho trauma center and at Leffingwell in GR, and three surgeries later, he’s getting around, but still with some difficulty. We were basically shut down the month of February while I was back and forth with Dale being in GR until early March when he came home to recover further. It isn’t over yet, but it could have been so much worse and I’m thankful for his recovery so far every single day. He’s back to work at nearly full capacity. Nicole Ginter-you were instrumental in keeping us on track when Dale was on the DL, and we appreciate you more than words can ever say. Thank you. ❤️

I had my car totaled on April 1, ( ha ha, April Fools! 😖) getting sideswiped by a distracted driver in Holland coming home from job #1. I wasn’t hurt thankfully. Cars can be replaced. Then we lost our beloved senior dog Gerti. She was one of those senior adoptions where we knew our time was limited with her, but she became a huge part of our lives. She was the happiest dog I’d ever been around, and she made everyone around her happy. She was joyful just to be in a family. She had multiple organ failure and declined very quickly and was pts.

By August, Dale was getting around better so I decided it was my turn for some “attention”. Turning a horse out, I was struck in the face. It happened so fast, I still don’t know what happened, or even what part of the horse hit me. I had extensive facial and eye socket fractures, broken nose, lefort II fracture, three brain bleeds and a TBI. I had a helicopter ride to the ortho trauma center (here we go again) in GR. Just so you know, they don’t give multiple family member discounts. I was put back together by an extreme talented plastic surgery team and most people can’t tell I was ever injured. I’m still working on some PT, but again, I am so thankful for the injury not being any worse, and happy my recovery has gone so well. I’ve been back to work at both jobs since mid October and aside from some occasional odd memory issues (and it could be that I’m just getting old) and a total loss of my sense of smell, I’m mostly back to “normal”, as much as anyone can consider me normal. So we’ve certainly had our trials and tribulations this year, and have still managed to keep it pulled together. We all are blessed to be where we are, all things considered. I look forward for a great start to 2025. We plan on making it the best year yet!

Thank you to everyone who entrusted us with your horses in 2024. We look forward to turning it up a notch in 2025.

This was a tough decision, but simply put, since opening in 2020, ALL of our costs have risen, some rather dramatically, so we have to raise some of our prices for the first time since opening, effective 01/01/2025. I don't take the prices we charge for our services lightly. I know everyone is being squeezed from all sides, and you can't pull money out of thin air. You can spend your money at a lot of different places, and I resect and appreciate everyone's decision to spend their hard-earned money with us. The 2025 pricing has been updated on our website. Monthly and Weekly Board rates are the same, only the daily board rates increased, which will impact very few people. Services have increased a small amount, mostly for haul-ins due to the increased scheduling demands. Boarded horses are already paying to be here, we can work them when it's convenient for us, so they get the biggest discount on pricing. Facebook doesn't seem to permit service listings with prices any longer, so if you are interested in seeing the price information, please go to www.fluidmotionequine.com or send a message to the business page with your email address and I will email a detailed price and information brochure. Anyone that has already reserved stalls in 2024 for 2025 dates will be grandfathered in with 2024 prices. I hope that we can at least go another 5 years before needing to do another price increase. Thank you.

You know what might be better than sending supplies to the hurricane disaster zone? Making a cash donation to an accredited organization that will put your donation to work for you. All kinds of manufacturers give deep discounts to disaster relief organizations so that $28 dollar bag of feed (plus the cost of shipping) might help one horse for one week. Make a donation of $28, and it might instead buy 4 bags and help for a MONTH. I’m attaching a link to the American Association of Equine Practitioners - Foundation for the Horse. This will go to help equines and their owners get much needed veterinary care in the disaster zones. Give what you can, and as we all know, cash is always the right size, and can buy exactly what is needed. ❤️

If you’re the type that enjoys reading a good scientific paper on long term water treadmill use and how it affects your horse - here you go! The Cliff notes version is if you and your veterinarian have identified an area of weakness in your horse, we can design one or more specific WT protocols to target those areas and improve your horse’s performance! Put the power of water to work for you!

This young man needed a little assistance keeping his head and neck a little lower so he can lift his back as he walks. Normally, Sarah will hold the lead lower to encourage a correct frame, but this guy thinks hands = treats. 😂 He’s very polite and sweet about how he asks, but he will lift his head so he can look her in the eye and beg the entire session. 🥹 So the side reins attached to a halter keep him focused so he gets the most benefit from his water treadmill sessions. (He -might- be pouting a little).🫣 He gets his alfalfa cube snack when he’s done. Don’t let him tell you otherwise! ❤️
