Since 1982, Equine Therapy, Inc. has worked alongside Kentucky's veterinarians to bring injured horses back to work — with physical therapy grounded in published research, from the first equine therapist ever to serve on Olympic staff.
“We begin where the veterinarian’s diagnosis ends — and we never work without one.”
Every case starts with a complete diagnosis from the attending veterinarian. No exceptions.
Therapist and vet agree the rehabilitation plan together, and keep the line open throughout.
We choose from eight evidence-backed tools — dosed, logged and reviewed at every session.
Conditioning and stretching rebuild the athlete so the horse comes back sound, and stays sound.
Select a region of the horse to see the conditions we see most often there, and the modalities we reach for.
Each modality we use is supported by published research. Open any of them for what it does, what we use it for, and the papers behind it.
The legacy site’s research index, rebuilt as a searchable library. Filter by modality and open any entry for its summary and citation.
“My skills were built over ten years as an athletic trainer at the University of Kentucky. Horses have been part of my life since childhood.”
From Pony Club to local competition, to investing in yearlings, to owning racehorses — Mimi came to equine therapy from inside the industry, then brought the discipline of human sports medicine with her.
Her work has taken her from Ireland to Dubai, and to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, where she became the first equine therapist to serve as an official member of the Olympic staff.
She is the author of The New Equine Sports Therapy, and serves as a consultant, lecturer and working therapist — respected by equine practitioners around the world.
Today the practice includes licensed therapists Monica Martins and Katie Moore, working in full coordination with attending veterinarians across Central Kentucky.
Not only the treatment of injury, but its prevention. Hands-on methods and modalities for keeping the equine athlete healthy — one chapter per modality, with case reports, equipment parameters and citations.
The web store is open again — with instant digital access, international shipping and one-tap checkout.
