Post Surgical
War Horse place offers a full care facility that can meet all of your horses needs for any layup or post surgical care.

Because of our location within 4 miles of both Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital and Hagyard - Davidson - McGee Hospital, the shipping time is a short 6 minute trip from either of these facilities to War Horse Place. This provides minimum stress and risk for your horse traveling to and from either facility.

Our two main barns containing 38 stalls all have their own window to help ease the stress that can often occur from long periods of stall rest following a surgery. For increased safety, the stalls are designed with anti-cast construction. For horses that may need additional room, a 12 X 24 stall is also available for more comfort.

War Horse Place is 80% prime farm land.
Impeccable post surgical care and observation are imperative for even the smallest surgical procedures. Our staff is trained and dedicated to following all post operative care and instructions that the surgeon requests for each individual case. This includes the administration of all medications exactly as directed, ensuring that the proper bandage techniques are used and that the bandages are changed as required by the surgeon. Throughout the entire recovery period, the horses temperatures are checked several times each day and careful management of feed, hay and water intake is assured. Managing all aspects of the post surgical care with great detail and care is paramount here at War Horse Place.

  
Leading The Horse Industry

Part of each recovery, is the incorporation of a post surgical exercise plan. Our facility provides a round pen and several sizes of small paddock turnout appropriate for each stage of recovery. In most cases, and as directed by the surgeon, hand walking is also used as an integral step of the rehabilitation process.

Our round pen, exercise track and Kraft Brother's racetrack shaped walker are all available and can be incorporated to aid in rehabilitation or maintenance of your horses physical condition.

Whether your need is for post-operative care or post surgical recuperation, War Horse Place is proud to provide the best care and environment for your horse to recover and prosper.
