Helping Horses Move & Feel Their Best 🐴

Did you know that Dr. Abby is certified in Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy (VSMT)?

VSMT is a hands-on therapy that uses careful palpation and gentle, specific adjustments to address areas where a joint may have restricted movement. By helping restore normal range of motion, VSMT can support neuromuscular function, comfort, and overall mobility.

Think of it as similar to chiropractic care in human medicine — but specifically tailored to the equine athlete.

💫 Who might benefit from VSMT?

• Performance horses working hard and regularly
• Lesson horses working consistently with different riders
• Older or geriatric horses
• Horses managing conditions that may contribute to chronic pain or stiffness
• Horses recovering and rehabbing from an injury

VSMT isn't about simply "cracking" a horse's back. It is a thoughtful, veterinary-guided approach that considers the horse as a whole and can be incorporated into a broader wellness, sports medicine, or rehab plan.

Whether your horse is competing at the highest levels, teaching the next generation of riders, enjoying their golden years, or working their way back from an injury, our goal is always the same: helping them feel comfortable, move well, and do what they love. ❤️

Interested in learning whether VSMT could be a good fit for your horse? Give us a call to schedule your first consult and adjustment!

Summer brings increased fire risk🔥—now is the perfect time to review your barn's fire prevention and emergency preparedness plan. Stay safe!

What measures have you taken to reduce fire risks in your barn? 🧯

According to the National Interagency Fire Center, in 2025 there were 77,850 wildfires reported, consuming 5,131,474 acres in the U.S.

As we approach summer and the weather becomes warmer, make sure your farm has a fire prevention plan and an evacuation strategy in place to keep both equines and people safe.

Check out the graphic for ten fire prevention measures to get you started on the right track to a safer facility. This list is NOT meant to be exhaustive, and we invite you to contact your local fire department and your veterinarian for guidance on designing a prevention and response plan tailored to your specific situation.

Barn fires are the number one local emergency affecting agricultural facilities. They can cause horrific injuries and kill more equines than any other type of natural disaster, so being prepared is only in your best interest!
