AIM Onsite Equine Rehabilitation Program

Comprehensive, Full-Care Recovery in a Supportive Environment

At AIM Rehabilitation, we offer an exclusive, full-care onsite rehabilitation program designed for horses needing structured recovery, strength-building, and performance optimization. With only four spots available, each horse receives individualized attention in a calm, controlled setting that promotes healing and long-term soundness.

Our program is ideal for:

✔️ Horses with chronic discomfort or movement restrictions requiring rehabilitation oversight.
✔️ Horses in need of a fresh start with expert-guided retraining to correct compensatory patterns.

Under the direct supervision of Dr. Carrie Schlachter, a leading expert in equine sports medicine and rehabilitation, your horse will follow a carefully structured plan tailored to their specific needs. Our team works closely with your referring veterinarian to ensure that rehabilitation is both effective and medically sound.

Client Testimonials

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The Best Decision for My Horse’s Recovery

"After my jumper tore his suspensory ligament, I was overwhelmed with how to manage his rehabilitation at home. AIM's onsite program was a game-changer. They handled every aspect of his recovery, kept me updated daily, and worked with my vet to adjust his plan as needed. He came home stronger and ready to return to work!"
— Emily K., Show Jumper Owner

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Incredible Attention to Detail

"My mare had chronic back pain that we couldn’t resolve. Dr. Carrie’s program not only helped her develop core strength but also identified an underlying saddle issue that had been making her uncomfortable. The transformation in her movement is incredible!"

Case Study: ‘Storm’s Road to Recovery’

Initial Diagnosis:

Storm, a 9-year-old Warmblood gelding, was diagnosed with chronic SI dysfunction and a recurring compensatory front limb lameness. His movement was stiff, and he struggled to maintain engagement under saddle.

Rehabilitation Plan:

Under AIM’s care, Storm’s program included:
✔️ Daily core activation exercises to build postural strength.
✔️ In-hand work to retrain correct biomechanics and reduce front limb compensation.
✔️ Shockwave therapy for sacroiliac pain relief and fascial release.
✔️ Chiropractic & massages treatments to restore range of motion and reduce compensatory patterns

Results:

After 10 weeks, Storm showed marked improvement in strength, flexibility, and overall soundness. His topline had developed significantly, and he was able to return to full work without discomfort.
