Helping Horses HealOur goal at StoneRaven is to provide a facility for horses requiring post injury care. In many cases consistent treatment is necessary for full recovery and the owner is unable to carry this out. Following your veterinarians instructions, we will provide treatment, rest, exercise, therapy, special diets whatever the need may be. Inside and outside facilities and knowledge in many related fields will help us care for your equines. You will feel confident leaving your horse in our quiet comfortable environment. |

Rehab and Chiropractic Board |
|
POST INJURY- Boarding available for post injury care. Wound management, rest and rehab. $600 per month (depending on treatment needed) Stabling, feed and exercise program included. CHIROPRACTIC BOARD- If your horse needs several treatments, you are able to board the horse here for a week,month,whatever is needed. $600 per month includes all chiropractic treatments, monitoring, therapy, board etc. This works well for horses that come from a long distance and better for us as the animal can be monitored daily and treated accordingly and usually responds quicker. |

Turbo - RehabTurbo came to us in August of 2004. He had surgery on his hoof and needed extra-special care and extreme cleanliness, which with the rainy summer his owner was unable to provide at the time. Lisa has decided to leave him here for the winter to be monitored and cared for. He is recovering on schedule to date and Lisa is a very dedicated owner that travels an hour to get here faithfully twice a week to visit which we feel is very important to the recovery as well.A happy horse heals faster. She also spoils us with treats!! Turbo should go home in the Spring sound. Mr. Personality we love him! These are the greatest rewards for us. MAY - 2005 Turbo has gone home and is completely sound. Lisa is riding him and says he is like a new horse. Feb. 2007- Turbo is doing very well. Lisa is taking her Level I coach with him. He also has new shoes to protect his front feet from cracks that developed as a result of the stress of the injury. These shoes recommended and applied by Dr. Sean Archibald from his new Canadian Farrier Specialties business are allowing Turbo to be ridden with excellent success. |

ADOPTION, RESCUE,RETIREMENT PROGRAM
IF YOU WISH TO GIVE UP OWNERSHIP OF YOUR HORSE WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING OPTION: We accept abused,unwanted horses and horses that are no longer able to do the work they once did and need extra special care that they have earned and deserved. These horses have dedicated their lives to giving enjoyment to their owners. The horses are turned over to us and are evaluated as to their needs and health plan. With our expertise in many fields these horses can be kept comfortable and used lightly in our facility for beginners or physically challenged people that just want to interact with them. The horses have there own pasture to roam in during the summer months with lots of grass,trees and a small lake. They are fed special diets and monitored daily. Chiropractic,Farrier,Dentistry and Veterinary care is an important part of their routine here. In the winter they are fed free choice hay, special diets, blanketing and heated barns if they require it. They are placed with suitable buddies and are well cared for and loved. The horses in our For Sale Section are strictly our own horses, that are sound and have not come from this program. Sore horses are welcome to our program as well. We have rehab available and if the horse should become sound after a period of time the owner can buy back the horse at the cost of our care. We want to make it quite clear horses turned over to us for retirement or special needs care are not ever sold for slaughter or to other people. Our sole purpose is to give them a retirement home and make them as comfortable as possible. If they can be incorporated in some of our ranch programs then that is good for the horse as well. If they can't then they just live out their lives in comfort. We keep in touch with the owners if they so wish and if any major decision had to be made we would contact the owner if possible. Owners are very welcome to visit their horses as well. |

Retired,Rescue Residents to date |
|
Our best rewards are seeing the injured horses go home well and giving the rescued and retired horses the care they need and the home they deserve. StoneRaven Ranch is gracious retirement living for horses. At present we have Skip-21 years old, can't see or hear very well but otherwise healthy and wanders the pastures in the summer with his friends. Red-Red is a wonderful Q. H. gelding. He came to us a month ago, very sore. He is improving daily and hopefully by summer will be able to be ridden lightly. Doc-Given to the ranch by Duane and Lisa Mindus, a 14 year old Q.H. that is broke and by Spring hopefully will be sound enough for children to take some lessons on. Zack- a previously injured racehorse that will go into training for dressage this winter. Zack has been here two years. |
