REHABILITATION

Hand Walking & Turnout

Quiet, attentive ground work and considered turnout — the foundations of careful recovery.

What it is

For many cases, the most valuable work is the simplest: regular, attentive hand walking and long-reining, paired with appropriate turnout.

We tailor walking routes, durations and turnout pens to each horse's stage — building safely from in-hand walking through to controlled paddock time.

Benefits
  • Calm, low-impact movement central to most recovery plans
  • Long-reining for straightness and engagement work
  • Individual or paired turnout pens of varying sizes
  • Daily handler observation and reporting
Who it's for

Designed for specific cases

  • Horses on box rest transitioning to controlled exercise
  • Cases requiring strict, supervised exercise schedules
  • Horses needing time to relax and reset mentally
  • Recovery from minor injuries where movement is encouraged
