The Sound Horse Approach


At the Sound Horse, our synergistic approach enables each equine athlete to be the best they can be. Whether we are working with your veterinarian and trainer or providing our own in house diagnostics and protocols, our skilled and experienced staff will maintain each individually tailored rehab regimen for each athlete to insure a rapid return to physical and mental wellness.
If you have an outside veterinarian, your veterinarian will be made to feel like it is their facility and the staff is their own. We are professionals supporting professionals, and most of all, the horse.

Having onsite veterinarian supervision is critical to efficient Equine rehabilitation.

Equine Rehabilitation for horses in competition is successful when the injured horse has completely returned to normal function and has reached competitive fitness. The single most important determinant for any horse to rehab to fitness is the ability to constantly revise the rehab protocol in response to the horse’s reaction to the regimen. Advancing the exercise level too rapidly can produce a costly setback. 
Whether we are working with your veterinarian and following the prescribed protocol or providing in house diagnostics, and working directly with you and your horse, we have the ability to immediately asses how your horse is responding to the rehab regimen. If a problem should begin to materialize your veterinarian will be immediately consulted, and the solution immediately implemented within the regimen.
The more efficient the rehab process, the more cost effective it becomes…Because with rehab, time really is money.
