Rehabilitation and appropriate physical therapy are crucial to the prompt recovery of our equine patients. Under direct supervision of our veterinary staff, the rehabilitation crew implements programs such as hand walking, underwater treadmill and specialized interventional nutrition.

This top-tier program promotes shorter post-surgical recovery, shorter hospital stays and a smoother and quicker return to athletic performance.
