Performance Equine Sports Medicine Veterinary services in Western Australia provide chiropractic, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, gait analysis and laser therapies to horses as well as rehabilitation programs.
​
Stella Equestrian offers all horses coming for training or starting under saddle an initial assessment with Dr Kylie Brkusich at a cost of $80.00 which will include a report on your horse.
Having your horse assessed by Dr Kylie is a great way to ensure that your horse is biomechanically correct, pain free and in good health to meet the demands of being started under saddle. An assessment and treatment with Dr Kylie can ensure that you get the best possible start for your horse’s training program under saddle.
​
There are Oakford (at Stella Equestrian) treatment days on most Wednesdays listed on the Performance Equine Sports Medicine’s Facebook page. Please note that if your horse requires treatment such as veterinary chiropractic and/or acupuncture; that if you opt for these treatments, there will be further charges. These charges can be discussed directly with Dr Kylie.
