We have
a variety of services and treatments we can offer to our client's horses. The
combination of such treatments is designed into a programme to suit each
different horse's needs.
Sometimes a horse has an obvious problem such
as an injury but there are times when a horse is showing signs of misbehaving
such as bucking when ridden but when the problem is looked into further it has
been caused by a physical problem. With the services we offer we are able to
look at the whole horse and not just the initial problem, in this way we hope
to be able to ensure a permanent solution.
