Coming Soon - The Aqua Treadmill is used as an advanced tool for rehabilitation, conditioning, and performance support. By providing controlled exercise in a buoyant, low-impact environment, it allows horses to work with purpose while minimizing unnecessary strain. The supportive properties of water help relieve pressure on the joints, tendons, and ligaments, while its natural resistance encourages muscle development, improves endurance, and promotes strength, balance, and quality of movement. It is a highly effective modality designed to support recovery, optimize performance, and protect long-term athletic wellbeing.

The MR5 ActiVet Pro Cold Laser Shower is a high-output, super-pulsed cold laser system widely regarded as one of the most powerful veterinary cold-laser platforms available. At Protea Equine, we use it as an evidence-informed modality to support pain modulation, inflammation control, microcirculation, and tissue repair without heat.

The shower applicator allows efficient treatment of larger regions (tendons, suspensory, back, hips, and full limbs) in a short session, making it a practical option within structured programs for tendon and ligament strain, soft-tissue soreness, and wound/laceration healing support (at the appropriate stage), as well as performance recovery, conditioning & maintenance.

Sleip AI is an advanced AI-powered gait analysis system used at Protea Equine to objectively evaluate movement symmetry, monitor rehabilitation progress, and detect subtle performance changes over time. Built on science-based, data-driven technology, Sleip analyzes micro-movement patterns that may not be visible to the human eye alone, helping support evidence-informed rehabilitation, conditioning, and return-to-work programs while enhancing collaboration with veterinarians and equine professionals.

Thermal imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic support tool used to assess surface temperature patterns that may indicate inflammation, circulation irregularities, or compensatory movement. By detecting subtle heat variations within the body, thermal imaging can help identify areas of concern before clinical signs become visible.

This technology is commonly used to support rehabilitation monitoring, performance management, and preventative care programs. Thermal imaging does not replace veterinary diagnosis, but serves as a valuable screening and progress-tracking tool when used alongside physical examinations and veterinary-directed treatment plans.

Coming Soon - The Kraft Horse Walker is a highly effective conditioning tool used to bring horses back into work while building stamina, fitness, and overall strength in a safe, structured, and controlled environment. With speed, direction of travel, and session duration tailored to the individual horse, it provides a progressive and thoughtful approach to rehabilitation, conditioning, and performance support.

MagnaWave PEMF therapy involves applying pulsed electromagnetic fields to the horse's body through specialized coils or applicators. These electromagnetic fields can penetrate deep into the tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. The electromagnetic pulses induce small electrical currents in the cells, which can stimulate various cellular processes and physiological responses.

SURE FOOT Equine Stability Pads help horses find greater stability, balance, and body awareness by gently challenging proprioception and activating the deep postural muscles. Through subtle input via the hooves, SURE FOOT engages the nervous system to create new neural pathways supporting better posture, improved engagement, and a stronger, more confident way of going.

EquiVibe Vibration Plate Therapy is a cornerstone of Protea Equine’s rehabilitation, conditioning, and wellness programs. Using gentle vertical vibration, EquiVibe activates deep postural muscles and neuromuscular pathways helping improve circulation, decrease stiffness, and support smoother, more comfortable joint and muscle function. The result is often a horse that feels looser through the topline, more balanced, and freer moving.

Equine Soft Tissue Therapy involves the skilled & precise manipulation of soft tissues by a certified equine therapist that plays a vital role in keeping horses comfortable, supple, and performing at their best.

Each session supports the horse’s body by reducing muscle tension, improving circulation, and encouraging relaxation. These techniques help increase range of motion and flexibility, enhance overall performance, and complement vet-directed rehabilitation plans.

Coming Soon - The Drimee Solarium is a supportive modality used to promote recovery, relaxation, and day-to-day equine care. By delivering controlled warmth from above, it helps prepare the horse for work by encouraging comfort and suppleness through the back and topline, while also serving as a valuable recovery aid following exercise or bathing. Designed to support both comfort and routine stable management, it offers a practical and professional way to enhance wellbeing within the daily care environment.

The Equiband Pro System is a specifically designed saddle pad with strategically placed resistance bands that stimulate receptors in the horse’s skin and hair follicles. In response to this stimulation, the abdominal, oblique, sublumbar and deep neck and back muscles are activated. These muscles stabilize the spine, and engage the hindquarters during movement.Use of the Equiband Pro System in rehab work, strengthens the core musculature of the horse, making it easier for the horse to work with optimal posture and engagement.

Structured hand-walking involves a conscientious handler leading a relaxed & engaged horse at a controlled pace in a purposeful way.

Structured hand-walking is beneficial to all horses but specifically horses recovering from injury, surgery or stall rest. This type of hand-walking is beneficial to rehab horses because it strategically and gradually re-introduces exercise into their routine, increased circulation, flexibility, as well as promotes mental stimulation & handler connection.

Shockwave therapy is a noninvasive, drug free therapy that uses sound waves to increases blood flow, increases growth of new blood vessels and increased the production of natural healing factors which all result in improved speed and quality of tendon, ligament, bone and wound healing.

Disclaimer - Protea Equine adheres to all provincial & federal regulations. Shockwave therapy is administered only by licensed veterinary authorization and/or supervision.

A progressive, vet-directed exercise program designed to rebuild strength, balance, and correct movement after injury, surgery, or time off. Each plan follows veterinary guidance and the horse’s individual response, with clear progression milestones and updates to the owner and veterinarian so horses can return to their job sound, fit & confident.
