What is the best treatment for a horse with a tendon injury?

Treating a horse tendon injury requires a combination of controlled rest, laser therapy, hydrotherapy, and regenerative treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or stem cell therapy. At Advanced Equine Recovery, we customize rehabilitation plans using state-of-the-art therapies such as water treadmill therapy and cold saltwater spa treatments to speed up healing and prevent re-injury.

How long does it take for a horse to recover from a ligament injury?

Equine ligament rehabilitation varies depending on the severity of the injury, but most cases take 3 to 12 months for full recovery. We use targeted exercise programs, ultrasound therapy, and laser treatments to promote collagen repair and improve flexibility.

What are the most effective therapies for horse joint pain?

Horse joint therapy often includes shockwave therapy, joint injections (like hyaluronic acid or PRP), hydrotherapy, and chiropractic care to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. Our facility offers customized rehab programs to support joint health.

How can you tell if a horse is suffering from lameness, and what treatments work best?

Equine lameness solutions begin with a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause—whether it’s navicular disease, arthritis, soft tissue injury, or hoof imbalances. Treatment options include corrective shoeing, therapeutic exercise, laser therapy, and aquatic therapy.

What is the best post-surgery recovery plan for horses?

Horse post-surgery recovery depends on the type of procedure performed. A structured recovery plan typically includes stall rest, controlled hand-walking, physical therapy, and gradual return to work. Our state-of-the-art rehabilitation center offers hydrotherapy, massage therapy, and laser treatments to accelerate healing.

Students will gain hands-on experience operating the following equine recovery devices & protocols

Shockwave therapy is commonly used by veterinarians, equine therapists, and trainers to address musculoskeletal conditions and injuries involving ligaments and tendons. This therapy can help stimulate healing, reduce discomfort, and support a faster return to training or competition. Many performance barns and rehabilitation programs also incorporate shockwave as part of routine recovery care for high-level equine athletes.
The Tri-Wave laser uses three pulsed wavelengths to stimulate tissue repair while helping reduce pain and inflammation. Widely used by veterinarians and equine rehab specialists, it supports faster recovery from musculoskeletal injuries and helps performance horses return to training sooner.
Subzero therapy uses pressurized CO₂ to deliver targeted cold treatment to specific areas such as the hock, stifle, pastern, and fetlock. This therapy helps reduce pain, improve range of motion, and support faster recovery from equine injuries.
An equine water treadmill provides low-impact conditioning and rehabilitation by using water resistance and buoyancy to support the horse’s body during movement. It helps improve strength, cardiovascular fitness, joint mobility, and recovery from injury.
Equine somatic massage focuses on the horse’s nervous system and fascia to release deep tension patterns stored in the body. This therapy supports relaxation, improved movement, and better body awareness for both rehabilitation and performance horses.
An equine solarium combines infrared heat therapy with a gently shifting vibration floor to relax muscles, stimulate circulation, and support recovery. The heat helps warm and loosen soft tissues while the vibration encourages circulation and muscle activation.
