From Lame to Strong: Step-by-Step Corrective Exercises for Horses Recovering from Injury, Surgery, and Lameness

Author:  Dr Megan L. Forsythe DVM

When Your Horse Goes Lame, Rest Is Only the Beginning.

Rest stops the damage. Corrective exercise is what rebuilds the horse.
If your horse has been diagnosed with a lameness condition, you have probably been told to rest them and wait. Rest is essential — but it is not rehabilitation. Without the right corrective exercise program, your horse returns to work weaker, more asymmetrical, and more vulnerable to re-injury than before.
From Lame to Strong is the complete owner-focused rehabilitation guide that takes you from the first weeks of controlled walking to full return to work, with a clear, progressive exercise program for every major condition affecting horses today.
