REHABILITATION

Rehabilitation of athletic injuries is a fact of life for both riders and horses. Any athlete that competes at a committed level in any sport will be subject to layoffs and minor or major injuries. We try to minimize the long term effects of injuries by early recognition and rehabilitation.

The farm has set up the paddocks, the fields, the dutch Mill and many of the training areas to take advantage of hills and slightly sloped terrain while trying to eliminate boggy,deep footing and provide a secure understructure to the training and tunout areas.

Getting fit is a science and returning to fitness after an injury has many controllable components even for our equine partners. The involvement of the owners and students in the rehabilitation of injured animals is another important experience in the structure of the learning environment at Gloucester Downs.

We work with a variety of traditional and complementary modalities and have a close working relationship with a complete selection of professionals
