First, they are assessed by our staff and veterinarian. Any injuries, wounds, etc. will be treated by the veterinarian. A program of rehabilitation for the horse will be set to meet the animal’s nutritional and physical needs. Rehabilitation also includes gentle handling and re-training, if necessary, based on the animal’s background, condition, and future intended use. Eventually the horse may be offered for adoption, or will be placed in a new home as a companion horse, used as a program horse for ESS, or simply given retirement.
