WHAT IS A HORSE REHAB FACILITY AND CAN THEY SOMETHING I CAN'T?

We all know horses are good at getting themselves hurt.  Unfortunately, sometimes their injuries can have long and involved recoveries.  Things like deep wounds, soft tissue injuries, or even illnesses like founder can require long, involved recovery periods.  A horse rehab facility is a place that is set up specifically to meet the needs of a sick or injured horse. They provide things like stall rest, cold hosing, wrapping, and medicating multiple times a day. They also typically have a small turn out area like a round pen as well so that when the time comes, your horse can be eased back into normal turnout in a small space so they don't hurt themselves.  They also have staff to monitor your horse closely and the time to dedicate to their specific needs

There is no shame in not having the time to dedicate to your horse's recovery. Most horse owners work full-time jobs to pay for their horse habit, which puts obvious limitations on their time.
