Knuckle Hill Equine Works Training and Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation

At Knuckle Hill Equine Works your horse’s recuperation is my first priority.  Whether your horse is suffering from a soft tissue injury, recovering from surgery, dealing with the aftermath of a laminitic episode or coming back from neurologic damage the road to recovery is time consuming and demanding for the average horse owner. At Knuckle HIll attention is placed on every aspect of rehabilitation, including: *Proper nutrition for the stall-bound horse to stave off ulcers while maintaining good weight *Strict attention to medications and supplements *Monitor vitals for signs of infection or pain *Bandaging changes as requested by veterinarian *Cold and heat treatment, pressure wraps, and additional modalities to  help speed healing and attain mobility *Physical therapy/massage if approved through veterinarian *Mental stimulation to combat boredom  *Hand walking, rain or shine         *Transportation to and from veterinary clinics for rechecks/additional treatment and scheduling rechecks while in my care. *Adjustable paddock size as horses are allowed turn out Once a horse is ready to start into low level work again we do lots of walking.  We walk in straight lines with balance and cadence, which is exactly what a horse coming back from an injury finds difficult.  Horses recovering from a neurologic issue like EPM have additional challenges. The program here involves training the horse to think about footfall.  I use multiple  ground surfaces, hills, stretches and massage to help regain muscle memory.  An awareness of where the horse may try to avoid using his body is key to recovery. All of my work is focused on getting your horse back to good health and you back in the saddle. The monthly rehabilitation fee is  $700 to $800 depending on the level of care needed.
