Our Philosophy
We believe your horse deserves the 5-star treatment while under our care. From the day your horse arrives, Mike and Angie personally take care of your horse. We work with your vet and/or trainer to discuss the conditioning and rehabilitation program. We personally handle your horse each day, from grooming, scheduling vet/farrier appointments to the Aquapacer and handwalking. We communicate with you or your trainer regarding your horses progress on a daily basis.

I sent my horse Metro to you after months for very strained collateral ligaments in both front legs. He received stem cell therapy and then, after months and months of frustrating and seemingly ineffective rehab at home that boiled down to primarily stall rest and hand walking, he entered your program. He began using the Aquapacer which allowed him to exercise and gain the muscle strength he needed to help ease the burden on his joints and ligaments while he healed. Eventually, he also began using the giant European walker, which is so large, it didn't strain his legs like lunging or traveling in other small circles would have done. While I didn't visit him as much as I would've liked, I did make the 4 hour round trip more than once, and was delighted to see his giant, well-bedded stall, and to witness the personalized, knowledgeable care you offered.
When Metro did return, he came back fit, sound and happy.

I have been very impressed with the level of knowledge, horsemanship and outcome of cases I have seen with horses referred to Los Laureles for rehab. Each horse has a carefully thought out program and excellent integration of whatever modality best suited to the case. Angie and Mike also great at bringing in different practitioners and work well with everyone as a team - for the horse.

To Mike and Angie: My big jumper, Santana, was moved to Gilroy Gaits after a bad fall when he was badly bruised and hurting. On the advice of his vet. and myself he was moved to Gilroy to use the rehabilitation equipment. He was put on the equiciser on a daily basis, walking and trotting and for different lengths of time. Also, a certified chiropractor was brought in to work on Santana. When Santana left Gilroy Gaits after being in rehabilitation for a month, he was fit, his weight was good and he was ready to go back to work as a show jumper.
Thank you, Mike and Angie, for taking such good care of my Wonder Horse, Santana.
