What to Expect:
Your initial visit will include a comprehensive evaluation of your horse.
Measurements of your horse will be taken for joint range of motion, gait, body
composition, and function to assess your horse's status and determine which
services will be most beneficial in aiding your horse's fitness and/or
recovery. We will discuss our findings and proposed plan of care with you at
that time. This visit may last 30-60 minutes, dependent upon your horse's
needs. Please bring your horse's medical records to this visit, including any
prescribed treatment regimen.
Follow up fitness/therapy
sessions will generally last between 20 and 30 minutes. The duration of
services is dependent upon your horse's needs. Please note, as a general rule,
for physical fitness conditioning it takes six weeks of daily exercise to build
muscle memory. Ongoing reassessments of your horse's condition at each session
will ensure optimal care for each stage of fitness and/or recovery.
