Unfortunately, many horses suffer from the effects of being started too young, using their bodies in unhealthy repetitive ways, wearing ill-fitting saddles, and feeling stressed out and overwhelmed.
These horses are likely to be labeled as stubborn, having a bad attitude, having a "lot of energy," aggressive, bombproof, spooky, cold-backed, extroverted, introverted, resistent, etc. Owners often believe, "this is the way my horse is," instead of recognizing that unwanted, especially reactive and/or non-reponsive behavior, is a coping mechanism or your horse's way of telling you they are hurting, scared, anxious, confused, frustrated, and insecure.
Horses are unable to heal their own bodies and minds and need our help to recover from emotional and physical distress. Many owners whose horses go through our Rehabilitate and Recover Program are amazed by the positive physical and emotional changes they see in their horses. These horses are often highly reactive and many owners are on the verge of giving up on them.
Some of these horses have been through several trainers with little or no improvement or end up being worse off than when they started. That's not uncommon since conventional trainers focus on supressing unwanted behavior without sussing out and identifying the underlying cause or causes.
We can help your horse's emotional trauma, reactive, nervous, detached, and aggressive behavior, physical pain, muscular non-reactivity and asymmetry, compensatory patterns of movement, hoof imbalance and discomfort, and more. To help resolve these issues for your horse we use a multi-faceted approach that includes nutritional support, natural hoofcare, physical therapy, body work, classical conditioning, positive reinforcement, and whatever your horse needs to feel confident, comfortable, and secure.
We take your horse's well-being very seriously. Every horse we work with is a unique individual whom we treat with compassion and respect. We have a 100% success rate for improving physical and emotional wellness. In addition to personally overseeing your horse's rehabilitation program, we offer instuction and guideance to owners who are interested in learning how to help their horse themselves. We encourage owners to learn how to recognize and resolve their horse's issues. It is a rewarding learning experience and opportunity to bond with your horse.
