Optimum Equine Health & Fitness

With professional rehabilitation services

Howe Brook is a dedicated equine therapy and holiday livery, located in an idyllic West Lancashire setting.

Based in the heart of Wrightington, Howe Brook Equine Therapy Centre is home to the Clarke family, plus an array of horses, ponies, dogs, and ducks.

The team at Howe Brook live and breathe horses, treating each horse who comes for treatment or livery, as our own.

Our Services

At Howe Brook, we cater for horses of all disciplines, from happy hackers, to top competition horses, including those who want to improve their fitness or require rehabilitation.

Our therapists devise treatment plans tailored to the individual horse they’re working with, ensuring they get the absolute most from their sessions in a very safe environment. We take a safe, considered approach to all of our therapies, ensuring each horse is calm and happy, and gets the absolute most from their session.

We currently offer equine hydrotherapy, and usage of our TheraPlate, and solarium.

We offer both day visits and longer stays, within our beautifully purpose-built, well-equipped stables, with access to our acres of green paddocks and arenas.

  • An integral part of a good rehabilitation programme, water treadmill sessions can improve muscle tone, stamina and strength, and also target a range of conditions.

  • Extremely simple yet effective, our TheraPlate is the gold standard in vortex wave circulation therapy.

    It works by using low-amplitude orbital motion to deliver powerful rehabilitation and sports conditioning benefits, and is far more advanced than standard vibration plates.

  • Our solarium provides horses with a therapeutic boost of infrared light and warmth, to warm muscles up before exercise, and to improve overall wellbeing.

    The solarium can also be used in cold, wet riding conditions, to stop your horse getting a chill. At Howe Brook, our solarium is incorporated into Monarch Stocks which makes the process safe and straightforward.

  • At Howe Brook, your horse’s welfare is our number one priority. Our safe, secure, and gated yard in beautiful green surroundings is home to approximately 25 thriving horses. See our livery page for more information.

  • Understanding that our livery owners must have complete peace of mind when they leave their horse with us, we operate a calm, relatively small yard with set routines, and all-round care - so when you return after your holiday, your horse will be happy and settled. Our therapies are available for horses on holiday livery.
