Happy Labor Day from InStride Performance Therapy! 🇺🇸🐴

Today, we celebrate the hard work, dedication, and long hours that keep the equine industry moving forward. From the trainers, owners to the veterinarians, horse shoer's, caretakers, and everyone behind the scenes — your commitment never goes unnoticed.

Here’s to the people who put in the work every day and the horses who make it all worthwhile.

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸

Meet Hermes and Butters — a team of horses who spent the week carrying cowboys through smoke, fire, and miles of rugged country; searching for cattle scattered by the fires.

They worked through the heat and chaos, navigating ground made even more unforgiving by the fire — doing the kind of work that reminds us just how much heart, trust, and grit can be found in a good horse.

After the smoke settled, we had the privilege of giving these four-legged heroes some much-deserved rest and recovery. They were sore, tired, covered in cactus; but still willing to stand quietly while we pulled spines out one by one.

There are a lot of people — and horses — who quietly show up when things get hard. We’re incredibly grateful for the firefighters, first responders, ranchers, volunteers, no profit organizations, neighbors, and everyone else who worked tirelessly to protect livestock, homes, and our community.

Thank you to Butters, Hermes, and all the other horses still out there. 🖤

Happy Birthday Quigley Bleu 🐾

The face, personality, and unofficial mascot of InStride Performance Therapy!

If you’ve been to InStride, chances are you’ve met the one who actually runs the place. Part facility manager, part security, and full-time client relations. He takes his job very seriously — greeting every client with his best looking ball or rock, oversees daily operations at the spa, and making sure no lunch goes unattended. He’s been by our side for late night foaling in the spring and early morning feeds in the summer. He even gets his workout in and swims on the treadmill just like our regular fitness horses. 💪🏻

Today, our favorite four-legged manager is officially another year older, slightly wiser, and somehow even more entitled to employee benefits.

Here’s to seven years with Quigley. We could not imagine a day without him here. 🖤❤️

There is nothing more rewarding than watching a horse return to feeling and performing its best. 💪🏼

Howler came to InStride as a 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩-𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙚 following surgery for 𝙠𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚. After 45 days of stall rest, his owners' primary concern was getting him safely conditioned back into shape.
Upon arrival, his surgical incision was still raised with noticeable edema. 𝙒𝙚 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙛𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚-𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠 𝙧𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙙:

-Custom daily aqua treadmill program, with increased water and ground incline to engage the abdomen and promote top line growth.
-Daily icing to help control swelling and discomfort.
-Smart RLT Red Light Laser Therapy to promote circulation, encourage cellular repair, and support the body's natural healing response.
-Evening application of Xact Rx Topical D3 Cream to further reduce inflammation and aid soft tissue recovery.

The primary goal for this horse was to r𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩-𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 so he could be properly fitted for a custom saddle. Proper saddle fit is an essential part of long-term comfort and performance, especially following back surgery, making rehabilitation a critical step before returning to work.
