Successful recovery starts with understanding the whole horse

A local injury is rarely an isolated problem. That is why we use a multidisciplinary approach, addressing not only the visible issue but also the underlying causes and any compensation patterns in our plan.

Our team of specialists, physiotherapists, farriers, and dentists works closely together to provide every horse with a customized rehabilitation program.

Our route to recovery

  • We analyze not only the injury but also the movement pattern, posture, limb conformation, musculature, teeth, and hoof balance.
  • We develop a practical treatment plan tailored to the type of injury, the horse’s intended use, and the owner’s wishes and possibilities.
  • We combine medical treatments, hoof corrections and orthopedic shoeing, physiotherapy, rehabilitation exercises, and management advice in one clear program.
  • The process is closely monitored and continuously adjusted to the horse’s progress.

Collaboration between specialists

Our mission is to help horses achieve sustainable recovery, with attention to comfort, workload tolerance, and future performance.

At SMDC, we combine modern techniques, specialist knowledge, and an integrated approach to give every horse the best possible chance of recovery.
