Using both the aquatred and pool in combination was the best choice for this horse's case. Building strength was crucial for this horse as he healed from a hamstring tear. Slow and very gradual increase in exercise allowed him to build muscle back up. He's now training really well and has continued to be sound!
#nationalarabianhorseday Some research has indicated the Arabian horse has a genetic predisposition to metabolic syndrome (to be clear there are several breeds and body types that are affected). Not to worry, we have extensive experience with the latest treatments, not only when and how to test but an understanding in surveying the bloodwork to determine the best medication for that specific horse. We can help you navigate the necessary steps to diagnose and get the right plan in place to keep your horse happy and healthy. Movement and exercise is the key to the health of a metabolic horse, the pool or aquatred are both great ways to stay fit while we help make sure your horse is on the med doses best suited to their case. Remember, metabolic issues are no longer just in old and overweight horses, we have seen it in horses as young as 6 as well as horses that have come to us underweight.

Your dressage horse is basically a professional ballerina right? Ballerinas take great care to make sure their bodies are strong and able to perform at their strongest. Your horse is no different. The aquatred helps your horse increase balance and strength while the cold spa helps maintain tight legs and more efficient muscle soothing post workout and competition. #nationalballetday
We are definitely in foaling season! This season always brings with it excitement, joy, and lots of stress. We all want each foal to be as healthy as can be and for the mare to make a full and easy recovery post birth. Hyperbarics can be a great way to help both mare and foal following birth. This therapy helps the body make it's own oxygen rich blood and helps stimulate healing as well as stem cell production all making for easier post birth recovery
