Destination Equine Rehabilitation & Layup Stays
Customized post-surgical care, soft-tissue rehabilitation, and advanced therapeutic conditioning for performance horses nationwide.
Premier Equine Layup & Post-Surgical Recovery Center
When a high-value performance horse suffers an injury or undergoes surgery, success depends on what happens during the weeks and months that follow. Advanced Equine Recovery is a premier destination layup and rehabilitation facility serving horse owners, trainers, and veterinarians across Oklahoma, Texas, and throughout North America.
Located along the primary equine transport corridor in Central Oklahoma, our facility provides a controlled, clinically structured environment for horses recovering from complex orthopedic surgeries, soft-tissue tears, and performance-limiting strain. We eliminate the risks of home-barn stall rest by combining daily clinical oversight with state-of-the-art recovery technology.
Specialized Conditions & Recovery Protocols
We partner with primary veterinarians, orthopedic surgeons, and equine hospitals to execute individualized rehabilitation plans for:
Post-Surgical Layup Care
Specialized oversight for horses recovering from OCD removal, kissing spine, arthroscopic surgery, and soft-tissue procedures.
Tendon & Ligament Repair
Guided recovery protocols for bowed tendons, suspensory desmitis, muscle tears, and ligament damage.
Joint & Spinal Conditioning
Stifle rehabilitation, sacroiliac (SI) dysfunction, and neck/back therapy.
Return-to-Performance Conditioning
Low-impact aquatic exercise and controlled workload progression to rebuild elite performance athletes safely.
Our Step-by-Step Admission & Rehab Process
Step 1: Clinical Consultation & Diagnostic Review: We review veterinary records, ultrasound reports, and surgical discharge notes to align with your primary vet's directives as needed.
Step 2: Customized Protocol Setup: We build a custom schedule combining stall rest management, controlled exercise, and specific modalities tailored to your horse's healing phase.
Step 3: Supervised Care & Daily Execution: Your horse receives structured daily therapy, meticulous stall care, grooming and hands-on monitoring in a low-stress environment.
Step 4: Progress Reporting & Recheck Coordination: We capture video & photo updates for you and host on-site vet rechecks to guide the progression toward full athletic recovery.
Comprehensive Recovery Technology Under One Roof
Managing rehab at home often requires juggling separate appointments and transporting injured horses. We bring North America's leading equine recovery technologies together in a single, supervised facility:
Equine Water Treadmill & Cold Water Spa (Horse Gym USA): Low-impact aquatic conditioning to build strength and cardiovascular fitness without joint concussion. Adjustable water levels reduce weight-bearing concussive forces on healing joints while building core, back, and cardiovascular strength.
Radial Shockwave & Class IV Laser (America Cryo): Deep-tissue acoustic and light stimulation to accelerate tendon, ligament, and cellular repair. Delivers targeted light energy deep into tissue cells to reduce pain, stimulate microcirculation, and accelerate cellular repair in tendon lesions.
MagnaWave PEMF & Solarium Vibration: Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and infrared heat vibration to reduce pain and boost circulation.
SubZero Cryotherapy: Localized cold therapy to manage post-training and acute soft-tissue inflammation.
Equine Somatic Massage & Bodywork: Hands-on fascia release to prevent compensatory tightness during recovery stays.
Premier Equine Care Founded on Clinical Excellence
Advanced Equine Recovery was established to bridge the gap between initial veterinary treatment and a horse’s safe return to high-level competition. Located at Rein Maker Ranch in Purcell, Oklahoma—the Quarter Horse Capital of the World—our facility was engineered specifically for sports medicine rehabilitation, layup stays, and therapeutic conditioning.
Certified Equine Bodywork & Rehab Specialists: Rigorous training in equine massage, fascia release, and electro-physical therapies.
Equipment & Modality Certified: Hands-on certified operation of Horse Gym USA, America Cryo, and MagnaWave systems.
Veterinary-Aligned Protocols: Experienced in executing complex post-op care plans, stall rest protocols, and ultrasound-guided exercise progressions.
24/7 On-Site Care & Monitoring: Continuous physical oversight at Rein Maker Ranch to ensure safety and immediate attention throughout your horse's stay.
