EQUINE REHABILITATION
Helping Horses That Need Us Most
At Heavenly Horses, our Equine Rehabilitation Program is driven by a deep commitment to horses. We specialize in horses with health challenges as well as those that come to us as medical mysteries. Our team works tirelessly to understand each horse’s unique challenges, whether it’s a medical issue, behavioral issue, or past trauma, committing to find the root cause and provide the care they need to heal or manage their condition. Every horse in our program receives our unwavering dedication to their long-term well-being, helping them live pain-free, happy lives.
Comprehensive Rehabilitation Approach
We approach each horse with the care and patience they deserve, giving them the time they need to heal—whether it’s three months or three years. We never rush or set deadlines, letting their rehabilitation unfold naturally. Some horses rehabilitate to become sound, happy riding partners, while others reach a place where they’re comfortable and happy as pasture pets. As long as they’re happy, we’re happy. Our care blends expert veterinary care with supportive therapies and gentle exercises, all tailored to the horse’s needs.
- Veterinary Care: We consult with specialists from across the country and work with our local veterinarians to tailor a custom program for each horse, using careful diagnostics and medications to address health issues.
- Supportive Therapies: Red light therapy, laser treatments, cryotherapy, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and supportive herbs to aid rehabilitation.
- Nutritional Support: Each horse gets a tailored nutrition plan with customized supplements and low-inflammation, forage-based diets to support healing.
- Groundwork and Exercises: Low-stress groundwork, stretching, and targeted exercises to gently rebuild strength and promote rehabilitation.
- Emotional Healing: Through the rehabilitation process, the horses connect with us and let go of past trauma and pain.
Our team of veterinarians, trainers, and volunteers works with dedication to each horse, often providing lifelong care with specialized equipment for those with ongoing needs.
A Compassionate Place to Surrender
We provide a judgment-free place to surrender horses with health challenges, medical needs, or in situations where their owner feels overwhelmed and like they can’t give the horse the care they properly need. Unlike kill pen rescues, which often address crises after suffering, surrendering to Heavenly Horses ensures proactive, exceptional care, preventing distress. Many surrendered horses become valued contributors in our mentorship and outreach programs.
Success Story: Camie’s Journey
Camie’s story is a testament to the life-changing impact of our Equine Rehabilitation Program. Her owner spent two years and thousands of dollars, including a month at a vet hospital, trying to figure out her mystery medical condition. With euthanasia scheduled for Tuesday, her owner called us on Sunday, asking if we could take Camie. We said yes, and through careful diagnostics and holistic treatments, we helped her heal. Today, Camie thrives in our mentorship and outreach programs, connecting with people in a way that shows the power of giving horses a second chance. Her story inspires us to keep caring for these horses, helping them find health and happiness again.
