Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL

How do I schedule an appointment?

Sarah can be reached by email, call, or text.

How much time do I need for an appointment?

This varies. Initial assessment can take 90 minutes. Once we have a care plan, follow-up visits typically take 60 – 70 minutes. Occasionally, a short session of 10 to 20 minutes to focus on a small area that needs daily attention will be implemented.

What should I do to prepare for an appointment?

Make sure your horse is clean and dry. Do not apply topical creams, ointments, oils, sprays, or gels on their body as this can interfere with certain therapeutic modalities, particularly photon therapy and Kinesiology Taping.

Your horse should be up to date on vaccinations, deworming, and be in good health. A recent fever or infection is a reason to reschedule an appointment.

A well-lit, covered area with a wall tie or cross ties that has a working power outlet is necessary. The area should be free of manure, urine, or mud. If using a stall, it should have clean bedding. Access to warm water for handwashing and certain modalities is required.

What are your personal best practices for an appointment?

To prevent the spread of disease or contamination, handwashing and disinfecting will occur before and after interacting with a horse. All equipment will be disinfected between uses.

I intend to keep appointment times. If unforeseen circumstances delay my arrival, I will notify you with an updated arrival time and expect the same in return.
