She began to improve from the moment her shoes came off. Her daily conditioning programme took less than half an hour daily and just became a normal part of our daily routine. My EP clearly explained everything so I knew not only how to do things, but why I was doing it and it has been very rewarding watching her change from a horse who was hurting to a horse who’s now enjoying life again.

Navicular and sinker recovery, the horse was able to return to work once the issue with the hoof weakness, landings and gut discomfort was identified and addressed.

Loki had a two year history of variable level intermittent lameness in front. By removing the negative influences on hoof health, and by adding or facilitating positive influences, Sally was able to make a significant difference to Loki’s hoof health over a relatively short timeframe.

This story is about the benefits of a whole horse approach to health. It took a combined team of Owner, Vet, EP and Physiotherapist to bring about the changes.
