Paardenpraktijk Zomer

Paardenpraktijk Zomer is a naturopathic animal practice based in Winterswijk, led by Rob Jan Zomer. With a lifelong connection to horses and experience gained through close involvement in his father’s long-established animal practice, Rob focuses primarily on supporting horses. He trained at the Akademie für Tierheilkunde, recognised by the German Association of Animal Naturopaths and Animal Physiotherapists, and has also studied horse reproduction and guidance.

The practice uses natural approaches intended to support the body’s own ability to recover. These include homeopathy, herbal medicine and acupuncture. Rather than focusing only on the visible symptom, Paardenpraktijk Zomer considers the animal as a whole and seeks to identify possible underlying causes, recognising that different organs and body systems may affect one another. The practice describes these methods as compatible with conventional veterinary care and presents them as having few or no side effects. Its website provides information about the working method, treatments and common complaints, and also includes a section for dogs and cats.
