Exercise Programmes for Dogs & Horses
Customised Exercise Programs
Our exercise programmes for dogs and horses play a vital role in rehabilitation, injury prevention and long-term wellbeing. At Equi-Can Active, we design tailored exercise plans to help animals build strength, improve mobility and move with confidence at every stage of life.
Each programme is created to suit the individual animal, taking into account age, condition, lifestyle and veterinary guidance.
What Are Exercise Programmes for Dogs & Horses?
All Equi-Can Active exercise programmes are structured, goal-led plans designed to support recovery, enhance performance and maintain healthy movement. They are commonly used following injury or surgery, alongside physiotherapy treatment, or as part of a proactive approach to conditioning and prehabilitation.
Our exercises are selected to improve core stability, joint control, coordination and overall strength while remaining safe, achievable and effective.
Tailored Exercise Prescription
Every animal is different, which is why our exercise prescriptions are never generic. Following a full assessment, we create bespoke exercise programmes for dogs and horses that can be carried out safely at home or as part of ongoing physiotherapy sessions.
Programmes may include:
Strength & conditioning exercises
Balance & proprioception work
Controlled mobility & flexibility exercises
Progressive rehabilitation plans
Exercises are regularly reviewed and adapted as your animal progresses.
Supporting Rehabilitation & Performance
Our exercise programmes for dogs and horses are suitable for:
Post-operative rehabilitation
Injury recovery
Management of long-term conditions such as arthritis
Performance support for sporting & working animals
Our aim is to help animals move comfortably, reduce the risk of re-injury and support long-term physical health.
Prehabilitation: Injury Prevention
Prevention is always better than a cure. That’s why we incorporate core strength exercises into prehabilitation programs during training. These programs are specifically designed to reduce the likelihood of injuries before they happen, ensuring your animal remains in peak condition.
Rehabilitation: Post-Injury Recovery
If your animal has suffered an injury, our exercise prescriptions can be seamlessly integrated into rehabilitation programs. Focusing on rebuilding core strength, these exercises aid in recovery and improve the chances of a successful return to pre-injury performance levels.
Enhancing Performance
Overall, our exercise prescriptions are designed not just to prevent and recover from injuries but also to enhance your animal’s performance. By improving overall movement efficiency and physical capabilities, we help your horse or dog excel in their respective activities.
