Testimonials for the Therapy Centre

	"Great airy, spacious stables which are excellent for box-rest, very professional staff and I would highly recommend them. Impressive facilities suitable for racehorses. Gerard Butler, Racehorse Trainer
	"I am very impressed with the professional care and the fantastic facilities at the rehabilitation centre, especially the outdoor post and rail corrals which help to reduce any stress when the horses are on box rest.   I would definitely recommend the centre to any owner or trainer." Paul Cole, Racehorse Trainer
	"Superb facilities for racehorses to rehabilitate with the various therapies on offer.  Professional, caring team.   Archduke Ferdinand made a quick recovery after injuring himself at the racecourse and I will certainly use them again." Chris Wright CBE, Racehorse Owner and Breeder
	"I like the way the team look at the whole horse rather than just the presenting injury.  I use Essential Oil Therapy and Equine massage for my horses and have no hesitation in recommending their excellent facilities." Mark Pitman, Bloodstock Agent and ex-racehorse Trainer
	“Even after his broken pelvis had healed “Eric” found it hard to forget the pain and became very depressed and retirement after only three races seemed the only option.  It was such a good decision to send him to Karen and after a few months of Essential Oil Therapy and box-rest he was well on the road to recovery.  He is now a different horse who loves his life and is happy to jump fences with no worries.  He has won three races this year and we look forward to having more fun with him next season.  I know that it took a lot of patience, tlc and reschooling and Karen kept us fully informed throughout.  We would certainly send another horse to her and their superb facilities.” Pauline Scott - Racehorse Owner

As the joint owner of Too Forward, I cannot recommend Karen Bourdon's services at the Healthy Beast centre too highly. 

Bone chips, dental problems, holes in tendons, back problems, weaving and mental instability have all tested their skills

and now have proved insurmountable.  Many, many thanks 

Timothy Gibson - Racehorse Owner

"I used Essential Oil Therapy for a racehorse with deep laceration wounds on both hind legs and which helped to reduce

the scar tissue.  I was extremely impressed at the speed of recovery and would definitely use their wonderful facilities again."

Mouse Hamilton-Fairley, Racehorse Trainer

"My vet had proffered the name of Healthy Beast when we discussed treatments and respite care of my precious Haflinger

following problems with his Suspensory and Annular ligament.  Newby was offered essential oil therapy to aid in the

reduction of inflammation and stimulate the circulation plus horsewalking exercise each day and massage.

In the stable block the atmosphere was quiet and calm and each stable has an outside corralled area, which gives the

horses an opportunity for greater freedom but still keeps them in a protected, controlled environment.

It was obvious Newby had a lot of attention lavished on him and was returned to me much cleaner and smarter than

he left!  We continued with the topical application of the essential oil based gel on his leg and are very happy with his

progress.

So thank you Healthy Beast for offering such a wonderful service"

After an operation at the RVC to repair a serious tear in his deep digital flexor tendon, under his navicular bone, my horse only had a 50% chance of becoming sound again. I nursed him until I broke my wrist and then it became too difficult for me to manage.

At this point I was lucky enough to discover Healthy Beast. Reno received kind, professional care which treated his mind as well as his body. I received very regular updates on his progress and treatments. The specially designed corrals which adjoin the stables are safe and were much appreciated by a horse that hadn't been turned out for over 18 months!

He benefitted from good foot care, massage, in-hand grazing and of course Essential Oil Therapy. The essential oil gel that was made up specifically for Reno worked wonders with its anti-inflammatory and cell regeneration actions which helped to strengthen the tendon. With a slow start to ridden work carried out by a very good professional rider, he is now sound and happy.

A HUGE thank you to all at Healthy Beast!
