ABOUT COULEE
WHAT IS COULEE EQUINE?
Coulee Equine is Western Canada’s premier facility for equine conditioning, rehabilitation and wellness. Our focus is providing custom programs to promote the longevity of your equine athlete, no matter the discipline.
We take pride in designing a unique and specific program to benefit each horse individually, every time they come to visit us. Whether it’s for relaxation and rehabilitation of those on the mend, or to strengthen and condition for exceptional performance, we cater to you and your horse.
Getting its name from the beautiful coulee that it overlooks, we have been thriving in picturesque central Alberta since 2013. Experience really is one of our greatest assets. Being the only facility open for the last 4 years, we have been able to design programs that work best for your horse and discipline. With research projects with the University of Calgary, and conditioning on the water treadmill, they have extensive knowledge in how to accomplish your unique goals. Each horse receives a tailored program specific to their needs, no cookie cutter programs here. Whether it is your NFR horse, prized jumper or your pet, they all receive the same high level standard of care.
BEYOND CONDITIONING
There is more to Coulee than just the conditioning aspect. When you use the water treadmill you are increasing the longevity of your equine athlete. The horses come out stronger and more balanced as they have to use all parts of their bodies equally. At the same time, we are not a facility that is just for spring time, we pride ourselves on helping horses feel great all year round. Even if you have a couple days off in between shows there is something we can do to help your horse feel good and fresh.
WORKING WITH VETERINARIANS
In addition, Coulee works very closely with veterinarians to build the ideal rehabilitation program so your horse can come back to competition faster and stronger than ever before. We are happy to work with any vet of your own choosing and also have a veterinarian onsite 2-3 days each week.
