RESCUE-RECOVERY-REHABILITATION 

RESCUE- “THE ACT OF SAVING OR BEING SAVED FROM DANGER OR DISTRESS”

In 2014, Founder Barb Phillips rescued a small, injured, sick horse from an abusive ranch in Utah. That horse we later named Gracie and she, along with other horses from that same ranch, became the inspiration to create The Saving Gracie Foundation. With the goal to get horses out of dangerous, cruel situations, provide a safe environment, bring them back to health and allow them to live a peaceful life.

RECOVERY- “ TO RETURN TO A NORMAL STATE OF HEALTH, MIND AND STRENGTH

Rescued horses always have health and emotional issues. The ability to diagnose and treat these issues are what The Saving Gracie Foundation strives to accomplish. We are fortunate to have a full time certified Veterinarian, Dr. Amanda Petty, on our staff. We pride ourselves in using the most advanced research and technology to determine the best practice for treating our incoming rescues. We have acquired the best possible diagnostic tools so our animals have the best chance of recovery. We have our own Radiograph and Ultrasound as well as other modalities to diagnose and our team of professional to put together a plan for every horse.

REHAB- “ THE ACTION OF RESTORING SOMEONE TO HEALTH OR NORMAL LIFE THROUGH TRAINING AND THERAPY”

Rehabilitation is ongoing and critical for these horses to remain free from pain and emotional distress. Most of our rescues have both physical and mental challenges developed to cope with their abusers. Trust is the hardest to instill so it takes consistency and kindness. We use many different modalities to individually prescribe an exercise and treatment plan for very animal. Strengthening Exercise, Stretching, Acupuncture, Massage, Solarium( LED, Infrared and Ultraviolet Light Therapy). Laser therapy, PEMF Therapy( Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field), BEMER ( Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation), Tonovet ( Tonometer for veterinary eye pressure measurement and GAMEREADY ( Ice Therapy ) Shockwave Therapy.
