IS YOUR EQUINE ATHLETE PERFORMING AT ITS PEAK PERFORMANCE ABILITIES?
IS YOUR EQUINE ATHLETE PERFORMING AT ITS PEAK PERFORMANCE ABILITIES?
Our equine swimming pool is state-of-the-art and provides superior aerobic exercise without any of the stress on the tendons, ligaments and muscles of the leg that traditional, weight-bearing on-the-ground exercises create.
Swimming your horse maintains proper body and muscle tone, cardiopulmonary capacity and helps maintain or increase the mental capabilities of the horse. It is especially effective in helping the equine athlete recover from sour attitudes that some seasoned horses develop after long periods of performance.
Some injuries that benefit from swimming in a pool:
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• EPM
• Laminitis
• Fractures of bones or joints
• Bone spurs, spavins, or arthritis
• Some neurological ailments that prevent the horse from being able to enjoy normal exercise that requires balance or coordination
Our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a procedure that delivers increased amounts of oxygen to diseased or injured tissues. It is currently one of the most powerful tools available as an adjunctive form of therapy, and in some cases it works well as the primary therapy for horses. Oxygen is delivered to the patient under pressure, the procedure concentrates the oxygen available in the air breathed by the horse, which allows more oxygen to be dissolved into the blood plasma and delivered to the injured or diseased tissues. Relieve discomfort and pain for your horses, dogs, and cats!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:
Everyone at EPIC was incredibly compassionate towards me and my horse. They made me feel like they truly cared about Levi as if he was their own. Dr. Rullan not only kept in touch with my vet but also reached out to me often during Levi’s stay. The staff were fantastic and sent me texts and pictures on a weekly basis. Levi learned to love his time there and lived swimming and the water treadmill. I can’t say enough about this facility and the care delivered. I highly recommend!
Karen
My horse had an acute case of laminitis this past week and just got to come home yesterday. To say the least this facility is amazing and so are all the people who care for the animals from the doctors, to feeders, to stall cleaners, and handlers, and even the office staff all took a part in my horses recovery. The vet was absolutely amazing and took the time to explain all treatment options while making sure to not do a bunch of unnecessary treatments. I highly recommend anyone and everyone who has any kind of lameness or injury in a horse to go see the caring people at EPIC!!!
