WHERE DREAMS BECOME REALITY
“Solace Stables is the culmination of my lifelong passion for horses and dressage. In collaboration with Mackenzie Abbott Dressage, this facility is intended to facilitate and foster the development of high-level dressage horses and riders but to also encourage all levels of riders to understand and appreciate the underlying tenets of the sport. The basics of dressage will prepare riders to pursue any discipline or recreational path they choose. Solace is a family oriented, inclusive and supportive environment to love horses and embrace the magic they bring to our lives.”

Solarium
The Vitafloor MaXuSS 230 Equine Solarium is one of our favourites. This unit employs 22 infrared lights, 2 UV lights, 9 LED lights and 6 circulation fans. Therapeutic light exposure has various benefits. It can be used to stimulate blood flow to loosen and warm the horse before exercise. Light therapy also promotes muscle healing and recovery, helps disperse lactic acid after rigorous activity and promotes natural vitamin D3 production. The solarium can reduce drying time following exercise or baths.

Equivibe
EquiVibe is the only American made therapy plate that uses vertical vibration for full body maintenance and rehab. Unlike other forms of vibration, EquiVibe saves joints from stress like rolling and twisting so that your horse can get better faster and stay better longer. Designed with Whole Body Vertical Vibration to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation while increasing bone density, EquiVibe really gets the blood pumping. Improved circulation means better oxygenation of the tissues, removal of toxins and of metabolic waste. To rein things in: it enhances the body’s ability to heal itself, drug free – because when your horse feels how they should, the rest comes naturally.

Paddocks
There are six smaller turnout paddocks and several large paddocks. All turnouts are seperated for the safety of the horses. The fencing is beautiful black steel four rail Buckley Fence. This system was created so that under impact the rails will bend, the fence will buckle and release from the posts with no breakage or splinters, preventing serious injury to our horses.
