Therapy and Rehabilitation
If you've ever been told your horse is fine, but you know there's still something going on... we can help! We take a holistic multi-layered approach to making your horse feel at its best. Not only do we treat the body with massage, body work and acupuncture through a licensed and certified vetrinarian working with our barn, but we also take a vested interest in your horse's mental well being.
Horses are living, breathing creatures with minds of their own. Anything from past trauma, pain or an unfortunate accident can trigger behavioral issues with your horse. We are experienced with positive reinforcement training to help guide your horse into a better mental well being. Action orientated goals help guide you and your horse through a series of lessons that will enable not only better communication, but a better understanding of the "why" behind your horse's behavior.
Dr. Emily Mangen, DVM
