Tailored Equine Care for Every Need
At J&S Equine we understand that each horse is unique. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of services, carefully customized to suit both you and your horse’s specific needs. Whether your goal is to enhance overall performance or to focus on a particular injury, we have the expertise and cutting-edge therapies to help.
Many of the horses we work with are here to optimize their condition and train for peak performance. For those with specific injuries, we employ advanced regenerative therapies designed to accelerate healing and reduce recovery time.
A Customized Approach from Day One
Every horse entering our rehabilitation program undergoes a thorough examination to assess for any lameness or injury. Based on this initial assessment, we will craft a personalized care plan that may include:
• Fitness training programs to build strength and agility
• Nutrition and diet plans for optimal health
• Specialized rehabilitation protocols tailored to the horse’s recovery and your goals
Our mission is simple: to help your horse achieve its full potential—whether that’s through recovery or reaching new performance heights.
Exercise Program
Customized Exercise Program with the Euro Sizer is to focus on improving your horse’s strength, endurance, and flexibility. Each program is tailored based on your horse’s specific needs and goals. We integrate this training with our range of holistic therapies to offer a complete approach to rehabilitation and performance enhancement. This ensures that your horse receives well-rounded care, addressing both their physical conditioning and overall well-being.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging allows us to precisely detect areas of inflammation by measuring heat patterns across the horse’s body. This technology provides a clear visual of temperature differences both before and after cryotherapy treatments, helping us track the effectiveness of the therapy and monitor the horse’s progress.
