Equine Health Care

Equine Health Care shares research and practical information about equine therapy for practicing therapists, horse owners, and horse lovers worldwide. The site represents Equine Therapy, Inc., a Lexington, Kentucky-based equine therapy service business established in 1982 by Mimi Porter. Its approach complements veterinary care: treatment begins with a veterinary diagnosis, and the therapist works to maintain communication with the veterinarian when planning a horse’s rehabilitation.

The website explains therapy methods used in post-injury and post-surgical care, including heat, cold, photon, ultrasound, magnetic, electric, and ozone therapies, as well as medical honey. It also provides training information, a therapist directory, and details about Mimi Porter. Visitors can explore published research supporting the tools and techniques discussed, reflecting the site’s emphasis on evidence-informed practice. Porter is the author of The New Equine Sports Therapy and works as a consultant, lecturer, and therapist. Equine Health Care is an informational resource for people seeking to understand equine rehabilitation and the role of therapy alongside veterinary treatment. Its web store is permanently closed.
