Does anyone know if any fantastic rehab places, ideally close to Cambridge but for the right place would travel. I am looking at options but would like personal experiences with places.

My horse will soon be coming back into work after serious collateral damage to both coffin joints and other less serious issues that were flagged up on the MRI. He has had IRAP and shock wave and 5 months of box rest so far.

The only reason I am looking at the possibility of sending him somewhere 'top notch' is that I really want the best chance of recovery for him, he turns 5 this year, and the facilities at the yard I am at are less than perfect for starting him up again, plus with work etc. he really will need the consistency of a professional place. We have busy roads and the quiet roads have dogs running up and barking, lots of chickens and pigs etc. so I don't want him damaging himself again before we have even started.

So do you know of any places that say take them in for 6 weeks/2 months and get them into ridden work again, sympathetically and correctly? If so please help!

Thanks
 
Trixie Gingell's yard - a friend sent her advanced event mare to be rehabbed after doing a tendon. I think she does a fair bit with bringing racehorses back into work as well so experienced and professional.
 
The only place I know of/have been to is Boyton Hall Equestrian Centre - it's about ten miles from Bury St Edmunds;

They are knowledgeable, have brilliant facilities and the yard is immaculate and clean. The chap the runs the place is very knowledgeable. I have never kept a horse there myself, but I bought a horse from Adrian and have been there for clinics etc. It is worth a look anyway as they are competitvely priced and have everything you could want for rehab.
 
Blimey - now that looks fantastic - do they take owners in too??

The place is really quiet and has miles of off road hacking. I wish it was a bit closer as I'd have my lad on DIY there if I could! As it is, I will probably send my youngster there for some schooling as I don't have the time. Adrian showed me around the therepy barn, and it is an amazing place. I think they take a lot of racers etc in for rehab. Everything is tailored for the individual horse - spa therapy, magnetic therapy, ridden work etc... for £120 a week that is pretty good value I think.
 
Hi incase you are still not having any luck finding somewhere suitable I take horses for rehab. If you wanted to take a look at the website it is www.cottonhallstudlivery.com. I work quite a lot with cold compression therapy which can be extremely useful if there has been a soft tissue injury. I also work with bringing horses back into work following injury. PM me is you are interested or have any questions. I hope she makes a successful recovery.
