Equine Rehabilitation Center · Southern Pines, North Carolina
Prepare.
Recover.
Perform.
Retire.
Advanced equine prehabilitation, rehabilitation, performance conditioning and retirement care for sport horses and horses on the journey back to work.
Supporting the Whole Performance Journey
EQUESTRIA is being created around a simple belief: horses should not have to become injured before receiving the benefits of thoughtful, structured care.
Our programs will support horses at every stage—from building strength and fitness before competition to navigating rehabilitation and safely returning to work. Each program will be developed around the individual horse in collaboration with owners, trainers and veterinarians.
Discover our programs
Racing, Western and English
EQUESTRIA is built for performance horses of every discipline. The work is the same whether a horse is training for the track, working a herd or competing under saddle: strength, balance, cardiovascular fitness and soundness, developed one horse at a time.
Equine prehabilitation, rehabilitation and conditioning programs for every stage of the journey.
Prehabilitation
01Proactive care for horses in training and competition. Prehabilitation programs will be designed to improve strength, balance, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness and overall resilience.

- Return to fitness after time away
- Cross-training and active recovery
- Winter let-down and conditioning
- Injury-risk reduction

- Soft-tissue and orthopedic recovery
- Controlled exercise and gradual reconditioning
- Veterinary-directed therapeutic modalities
- Progress monitoring and reassessment

Performance Conditioning
03Structured conditioning for horses in work—racehorses in training, western and English athletes, and horses preparing for their next season. Programs will build and maintain the strength, stamina and soundness each job demands, developed alongside the horse's trainer and veterinarian.
Programs may support
- Racehorses in training
- Pre-season conditioning
- Stamina and cardiovascular fitness
- Western and English athletes
- Post-competition recovery

A dignified next chapter for retired show horses
Every performance career eventually comes to a close — through injury, illness or simply the passage of time. EQUESTRIA will offer medically supervised retirement for show horses, giving them the same individualized care and attention they received in work.
Working alongside each horse's owner and veterinarian, our team will build a retirement plan around comfort, soundness and quality of life — whether the horse remains with us for the long term or transitions to a new home.
Retirement care may include
- Veterinary-directed retirement plans
- Comfort and mobility management
- Managed daily turnout and companionship
- Therapeutic modalities for ongoing comfort
- Coordination with the horse's veterinarian
- Transition and retirement planning for owners
Planned Rehabilitation and Conditioning Modalities
The EQUESTRIA facility is expected to include a comprehensive suite of therapeutic and conditioning technologies. Every modality will be incorporated purposefully based on the horse's needs, veterinary recommendations and performance goals.
Collaborative, Individualized Care
EQUESTRIA is designed to work in partnership with each horse's existing team. Owners, trainers, referring veterinarians and the EQUESTRIA team will work together to establish clear goals, carry out a structured program, monitor progress and determine when the horse is ready for its next stage.
Owners
Clear communication and shared goals
Trainers
Coordinated conditioning and return-to-work plans
Veterinarians
Medical guidance and progress oversight
Coming to North Carolina's Horse Country
Planned for the Sandhills region near Southern Pines and the Carolina Horse Park, EQUESTRIA will be located within one of the Southeast's most active equestrian communities.
Our vision is a destination for the whole East Coast — working with owners, trainers and veterinarians from Massachusetts to Florida so horses everywhere can prepare, recover and perform at their best.
