Rachel Cleary & Sam Anthrope – Horse Rehab - Equinety accelerates healing process - Suspensory – flexor tendon – Navicular – Mystery Lameness and more
John Dowdy:
Hello and welcome to this week's Equinety podcast. This is a special one although I think every week is special but we're going to swing up into Indiana and we've got Rachel Cleary on the line now. Her background is rehabbing horses that come from well one end of the spectrum to the other and we'll get into that but what's unique about this particular podcast is she drug on one of her friends and boarders that's going to talk about her horse and how she found Equinety. So Rachel Cleary and Sam Anthrop welcome to the Equinety podcast.
Rachel Cleary:
Hi, thanks for having us.
Samantha Anthrope:
Hi, thank you.
John Dowdy:
Oh you bet. We're excited to have you. So let's get right into this. Rachel, let's start off with just talking a little bit about the work that you do with rehabbing horses and where do they come from, what kind of stuff do you typically deal with, how long you've been doing it, that kind of stuff.
Rachel Cleary:
Well we have been doing rehab really my whole life that I can remember. We've always gotten horses that have been in bad conditions and rehabbed them weight ways and health ways to get them to get show homes and things like that. We started doing physical rehabilitation about eight years ago. A certified massage therapist, rehab therapist among a million other things here. But we really do a lot of sports injuries and weight issues, elderly horses, things like that. So, a lot of extreme cases come in as far as pain or just in your general killer pin type courses that have been abused so not just weight gain but physical rehabilitation.
John Dowdy:
Yeah, so we can be talking from something very I mean like a weight gain type of thing which nutrition and some exercising things to very severe like we've got to have the professional team because I mean you do work with, well tell us about the team that you work with.
Rachel Cleary:
Absolutely. I have an awesome team. I have a veterinarian that is one of which is our, we call her our emergency onsite farrier, Chris Chapel. She lives about 10 miles from us so she can get to the barn pronto. She is always got eyes on our horses. We have a corrective farrier, Dan Woody, who's also an RVT who does all of our balancing with the hoofs. And then we work with Dr Davern from Centaur Equine Specialty Hospital in Shelbyville, Indiana. He is a surgeon and he takes all of our extreme cases and helps us with these really tough journeys so we have a great team.
John Dowdy:
Yeah, that's incredible. Now let's talk about now you've been doing this for a long time and you've been using the Equinety product for about how long?
Rachel Cleary:
Since July of 2017 so this will be going on our third year so about two and a half years with the product.
John Dowdy:
And I think it's important because the reason I asked you that question is since you've been doing rehab work that brings all kinds of challenges to the table you didn't have Equinety. You've only been using it for two and a half years. So what is the biggest thing that you've noticed since adding Equinety to your program?
Rachel Cleary:
How fast this product accelerates everything that we do from weight gain to muscle gain, to the healing processes of physical wounds, flesh wounds, cuts like that, and internal wounds as far as suspensory injuries and torn muscles and things like that. We've been doing it a long time and rehab's tough and every horse is different. And even with the weight gain issues you're not just targeting on...
