Pre-Booking Information

*BODYWORK IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR VETERINARY CARE*

If your horse is showing signs of lameness such as not bearing weight on a limb, reluctance to move, acute heat and swelling, or being unable to use an extremity, please contact your veterinarian right away.

  • Please make sure the horse's caretaker is there to assist with holding and moving the horse during assessments conducted in motion.

  • Appointments must be rescheduled if the temperature is -15 degrees or lower as it is too cold for body work.

  • To help horses that are very attached to other horses, please have a companion horse nearby during the therapy session.

  • Please ensure that the area is relatively flat ground and is dry and sheltered in case of rain.

LOCATION/atmosphere
