JRs Equine Performance & Wellness Arena

Here at JRs Equine Spa, we know firsthand the importance and need for rehabilitation services for the horse owner in Southwest Missouri. In May of 2014, we had just finished the beginning stages of reining training on our stallion when an incident would stop us in our tracks and ruin our stallions performance career forever. Our stallion sustained injury to his left front fetlock when his leg got

caught in between round pen panels as he tried to breed a mare who got loose.
​
Luckily there was no break, however, he did sustain a torn tendon, as well as a few huge open wounds. Upon recommendations by our vet, we increased his protein intake to compensate for the weight he would lose as well as the oozing from his wounds. However, we didn’t compensate for the increased calcium intake he would be receiving and it was just two weeks after the incident that he would develop full blown ring bone on his front left fetlock. The vet gave us the devastating news that he would no longer be able to be ridden and most likely wouldn't be able to mount a mare for breeding. We were crushed as our whole breeding program was focus around our stallion. Being a person who knows firsthand the remarkable miracles that organic and holistic treatments can do, I turned to the great product of Equibone, as well as massage and essential oils. In May of 2015, we had our stallion x-rayed again and the vet was amazed of the results and actually gave us the okay to proceed with western pleasure training. We have not put our stallion in training yet as we want to see just how far we can improve his fetlock with ongoing treatment.
​
In 2016, we started learning of other holistic treatments available for the equine but saw that there weren't any facilities in Missouri that offered these services. If there are, we have not been able to find them. That’s when we decided we would like to offer such a facility in which veterinarians can comfortably recommend to their clients additional equine rehabilitation services.
