Sport Horses Medicine Therapy - Successful Cases

Ruffian Stables

Since 1986, we have successfully treated hundreds of horses. Here are a few examples:

Bennequick - A 17.1 hands gelding with a bowed tendon was treated with therapy equipment and diet supplements, and after 5 months started to jump again to place second at Fair Hill in the preliminary division.

Directing - An allowance runner who came to us for therapy after tendon splitting surgery at New Bolton Center. Directing was back in full training in four months compared to the usual eight.

Crafty Belle - Owned by Jimmy Iselin in New York, Crafty Belle suffered an odd fracture that defied conventional treatments. Veterinarians recommended that the horse would be useful only as a broodmare. Treated twice a day for three to four hours, Crafty Belle returned to competition to win five races in a row.

Lenape Way - A steeplechaser trained by Taylor Jackson,he was a nervous wreck and diagnosed with ulcers. Placed on Fisher's specially modified nutritional program, the gelding showed improvement in his blood test in five days.

D'Accord - Owned and competed by dressage master Eicke Von Velthiem, D'Accord had been diagnosed with a severely torn suspensory on the lateral and medial side. Veterinarians suggested that the horse should be donated for research. After one year of therapy, D'Accord went back to compete at his previous level.

Madam President - A fancy show hunter that had torn suspensories in both front legs. After struggling many months with conventional prescriptions, she was sent to Ruffian Stables and healed in record time.
