We created this space with equestrians in mind and every step of your rehab or performance journey will be catered towards supporting your equestrian goals.

You’ll be greeted by friendly equine faces as you make your way to our treatment space located inside the barn. We ask that if you are coming from another farm that you avoid direct contact with the horses on the property and change your footwear before your visit.
