Horse owners and trainers often use integrative—or even their own—therapies to try to maintain their horses’ wellbeing and/or improve performance. Many times, they do so without input from or the knowledge of their primary care veterinarian.
These therapies can include a multitude of oral, manual, and even injectable entities, some of which can truly be classified as complementary, alternative, and integrative veterinary medicine (CAVM) therapies.
