Healthy horses, happy humans.
Our philosophy
We're here to de-mystify horse care and lead the way to a better relationship with horses through science and compassion.
We respect the horse.
Horses are a social grazers, and are meant to move. The closer they are managed in accordance with their basic needs, the healthier and happier they'll be.
We adapt with the science.
Medicine is always transforming and a committment to continuing education is vital. We update our approach as the evidence dictates, while rigorously scrutinizing fads in horse care.
We understand our clients goals.
Whether horses are athletes or pets; they are someone's passion and may even be their livelihood. We take an active role in furthering our clients' pursuits and help them to become better horsemen.
We pay it forward.
We share our knowledge and skills with clients, and advocate for horses and horse people in our community.
Here for you.
