Custom Care Programs
Structured Integrative Care for Performance, Longevity, and Medical Support
At Southern Performance, care programs are designed for horses who benefit most from consistent, whole-horse support rather than one-time treatments. These programs provide structured integrative care to support performance, balance, comfort, and quality of life—working alongside your primary veterinarian when medical conditions are present.
Each program is customized to the individual horse while following a clear framework for frequency, duration, and goals.
