After treatment the animals will need to have some time off and this may need to be followed by specific work or exercise such as lunging or stretching.

Ideally animals should be treated one week before they are due to compete to allow for treatment, rest, and recovery, as well as any shoeing or dentistry that may be required.

All of the above can be provided at West Stoke in conjunction with local farriers, vets, and equine dentists.

A combination of schooling and therapeutic treatment will help to improve suppleness, athleticism and performance in most horses.
