| Does anyone know if there is a Equine Swim/Rehab place in Oklahoma? Marcotte's is not an option. Or I do not mind North Texas either, but I live in North Central Oklahoma. Thank you in advance |

Location: Oklahoma | Yes, Oklahoma Equine Hospital in Washington has an AquaTred. Just don't expect them to make your horse an exception and veer off of their feeding program.
I also think there is another place that opened in Oklahoma.... I remember a post on here, but cannot remember the name. |

| The Lazy E Ranch has an underwater treadmill. I'm pretty sure it is available for all horses, not just those there for breeding purposes.

Location: Purcell Ok | ANJA in Wynnewood where the old NedPoint used to be opened just before Christmas. I believe they have an aqua tread as well as several other things. I am thinking about sending a mare there. I know they are on Facebook.

I'm pretty sure this is the one I'm thinking about. Couldn't remember the name. Thanks! |

| Thank you everyone! Next question is what is better, Aqua-Tred or an actual pool? |

Location: Oklahoma | I choose the Aqua Tred because I was told swimming wasn't great for stifle issues, causes the horses to hollow out their backs and I had worries about bone density as there is no concussion with swimming.
There are plenty of arguments for both. My vet thought it was a good idea to try the Aqua Tred and so that's what we went with. |

| I know Brookelyn Owens is putting in a pool but will be first of march before its ready is what she said. She also has a equicizer , loping track and work pen. I am sending my mare down there in a few weeks before our first rodeo. She also has laser therapy , breathing treatments and a heated barn . Her facebook page is Complete Equine Performance. Dr Ford will be coming by every 3 months for appointments along with a equine dentist and a farrier. She lives in Muldrow, OK so don't know how close that is to you but might be worth checking out. |

Location: Oklahoma City OK | We just visited ANJA in Wynnewood and were SO impressed with their facility, their work ethic. VERY affordable and excellent maintenance and care - they seem to treat customer's horses as their own, and their own are VERY well taken care of. Really fine people and facility: HIGHLY recommended. Aqua tread, theraplate, state of the art treadmill, heat/therapy lamps, free walker....etc.
