Ever since I heard about track systems in 2015, I have wanted to have a track system rehab facility. I flew out to see Rockley Farm’s track system in the UK, as well as Redemption Farm track system rehab in Kentucky. I have helped clients and owners set up small tracks on their properties, and have loved troubleshooting how these set ups will help hoof development, body condition, and lameness rehabilitation.
One of the track system rehab yards I have followed for years is Gawsworth Track Livery in England. Bethan Summers has boarded horses with issues such as laminitis, founder, navicular problems, and other distal limb lamenesses, with a focus on proper diet and movement. I reached out to Bethan to see if she would answer some questions about her approach to rehab, and how track systems are beneficial for horses.
