Horse Rehabilitation News from Dreamscape Ranch

.


There is excellent Horse Rehabilitation news to report!

At Dreamscape we are ready, willing and able to bring in different types of equine care-givers if that's what the horse needs so, with that in mind, we recently had a return visit from Britt Mills to look at some of our rehabilitation 'patients'. Britt is a veterinarian here in the Okanagan that specializes in acupuncture, chiropractic and holistic medicine, and she has worked on some of my horses and some of the Board horses in the past, and they always benefit from her excellent attention and treatment.

"Dee" is a horse that arrived recently that seems to have very sensitive/sore feet... but is this the real issue or is it just the noticeable reaction to a problem that begins somewhere else? Britt found some definite alignment issues with Dee's neck, back and hips and also the possibility of selenium deficiency. After treatment, Dee has improved noticeably so we are going to continue to work with Britt as to improve Dee's quality of life.

"Vicky" is a Thoroughbred yearling that suffered a nasty leg injury, and was brought to the Ranch to heal. With the oversight of local veterinarians and Dreamscape Ranch's tender-loving-care, it looks like Vicky may be ready to head home to complete the final stage of her successful recovery. And yes, she is every bit as sweet in real life as she looks in the video!!

"Tego" is another horse that was brought to us with a leg injury (back in the early springtime this year). This big bay gelding has sufficiently recovered to the point where he was allowed to go out on pasture with his buddies, so he was clearly a very happy boy... and that's just what we like to see! Of course we'll be keeping a close eye on him because we don't want him to experience any set-backs.
