REHABILITATION & RECOVERY BOARDING
Expert Care for Injured & Recovering Horses
Taking care of a horse after an injury or surgery isn't easy. And horse owners often don't have the training, experience or time to ensure their horse gets the rest and rehabilitation it needs to make a full recovery. At JJ's Place, we've got excellent working relationships with both the barn vet and barn farrier. And we're happy to work with your vet and the individualized recuperation program prescribed for your horse. Owner Laura Goold has been a horse owner for over 4 decades and is a graduate of Kwantlen College's Equine Studies Program, with a Citation in Equine Injury & Lameness. If you have a horse who's in need of some post-injury or post-surgery rehabilitation, we'd love to hear from you!

Kind Words From Clients
Living locally and having met Laura, I discovered what a wonderful environment she has created for horses here on Vancouver Island. My horse is a loving and very sensitive Arab and he was struggling with moving from Alberta and his home herd. Me too I guess! Now we are so happy. He has really relaxed and Laura treats him like a King! Beautiful barn and box stalls each with partly covered runs. With the sand footing outside, he can lie down and still be very comfortable or cozy up in his box stall which Laura keeps extremely clean.
