Rehab is hard. It is time consuming. It is expensive. Most people quit too soon. When you start rehab it will take a minimum of two years before you know what you are going to end up with. Two years of consistency: 3-5 days a week. Showing up even when it feels like you aren’t moving forward. Showing up when you are tired and can’t see progress. Two years of expenses: veterinary, farrier, bodywork, training, medication, supplements, etc. Rehab is giving up goals to adjust to the new limitations of your equine partner. Rehab isn’t for everyone. While it may not be your cup of tea, that doesn’t mean your horse doesn’t need it. You can’t expect a horse that needs rehab to perform without being supported. You can’t expect your horse to be a machine. You may have to find help or find another situation for your horse.
