Of course, it is always preferable to see a horse for a routine treatment, given as a preventative measure. However sometimes there may have been a trauma or underlying issue leading to a problem to develop.
A maintenance treatment may be given as a standalone treatment booked by the owner. Please note, that if a horse is lame or has been seen by a vet for a specific condition, all therapists are required to treat the horse on veterinary referral. This allows us to work as a team and ensure that the horse's needs are being met.
