The Fawor Foundation receives horses with a wide range of rehabilitation needs. WMA Touch of Love, just one of many cases, was surrendered to the Foundation after tearing her suspensory ligament at the race track. Though she has been healing and recovering quite well, she had a recent set-back while playing too vigorously during her pasture turn out.
Love lives up to her name, as a total sweetheart, as she stands quietly in the bucket of ice used to reduce her swelling and inflammation.
The Fawor Foundation’s ultimate goal is to build an Equine Wellness Center, where it is planning to house a Hydrotherapy Machine. This marvelous piece of modern technology will eliminate the struggles experienced while trying to keep a horse in one spot while cold hosing, or soaking in a bucket of ice. Instead, imagine walking that horse into a Hydrotherapy Spa and just pressing a button. Not only is it easier, it’s much more effective, and it can be used to treat a wide range of injuries and wounds, over the entire horse.
The hydrotherapy machine harnesses not only the power of regulated temperature, it also uses hydro-jets and salts. The healing times are incredible. Below are pictures of a before and after injury with only 3 weeks of hydrotherapy! You can see more case studies here.
