Juno’s story!

Back in June 2025 Juno had a freak accident in the field which left him with a severe injury to his left front foot.

At first it appeared to just be the initial cut to the coronet band and crack to the hoof. This piece of hoof was removed and remedial shoeing with a bar shoe was carried out to give column support.

5 weeks into the injury the damaged hoof wall detached itself along with the sole exposing significant damage far more extensive than anyone had anticipated.

With round the clock care, extensive bandaging and management, an incredible team of professionals, we continued Juno’s treatment and against all odds his foot has repaired itself and just 8 months later he is sound and has the all clear to return to work.

Follow along to see Juno’s progress and how we rehabilitate him back to ridden work!

Hello to all Herefordshire horse owners 👋

We are proud to announce the opening of our specialised rehabilitation livery, situated in the heart of Herefordshire. At Chill Out Rehab, we bridge the gap between veterinary clinical discharge and a full return to work, providing a controlled, professional environment for horses recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions.

Managing a rehabilitation program can be an overwhelming task for many owners. Our facility is designed to take that weight off your shoulders, offering meticulous care and evidence-based protocols to ensure the best possible outcome for your horse.

Our Rehabilitation Services Include:

Post-Surgical Aftercare: Expert wound management and medication administration.

Controlled Exercise Programs: Hand-walking, long-reining, and structured return-to-ridden-work protocols.

Integrated Physiotherapy: Regular on-site assessments and manual therapy included in stay packages.

Specialist Management: Tailored nutrition, restricted turnout options, and stabling designed for respiratory and musculoskeletal health.

Collaborative Care: We work directly with your referring veterinarian and farrier to ensure a seamless recovery journey.

Whether your horse requires a short-term intensive stay or long-term management, Chill Out Rehab provides the expertise and calm environment necessary for true restoration.

📍 Located in Herefordshire.
✅ Fully Qualified & Insured.
✅ Practicing in accordance with veterinary referral regulations.

We are now inviting inquiries for our 2026 intake. Space is strictly limited to ensure individual attention for every client.

Meet the current horses🐴

Annie is a 7yo ISH mare.
She is 16 weeks post Kissing Spine op.
Dorsal Spinal Processes T16-18 were affected and operated on using the Coomer technique.
Minimal Juvenile Osteoarthritis was also present bilaterally in the Tarsus joints.

Annie presented with reluctance to go forward under saddle, evasion of the contact and a bunny hoping gait in the canter.

Since her operation, Annie’s followed an extensive rehab plan and is slowly returning to ridden work with improvements.

An early ride out on the hills this morning.
Both of these grey boys have been with me over summer, one for rehab and the other for schooling to iron out some insecurities.
Today their owner came and had her first sit on since winter. She was thrilled with the progress 🥰

Prior to qualifying as a Veterinary Physiotherapist, I had worked within many areas of the equestrian industry; Stud Farm, Hunt Kennels, a Riding School, as well as working for multiple top Event riders.

Alongside this, I breed, break and compete some of my own horses.

I am lucky to have had such a wide range of experience that I can filter into my work. I have a deeper understanding of the demands each discipline puts on the horse and can relate first hand to riders and owners.

Chill Out Rehab was inspired by my late mare Chilly who I lost in June this year.

Chilly was my ‘special’ horse, the one you just click with. She has an extensive story but it has taught me so much about exercise and rehab and allowed me to help many other horses along the way.

One or two physiotherapy treatments is not always enough which is why I am able offer bespoke rehabilitation and exercise services to give your horse longevity in it’s career 🩶
