About the Facility
Calm rehab, Individual programs. Long-term outcomes
Grives Equine Rehabilitation is a private, boutique equine rehabilitation and conditioning facility focused on recovery, reconditioning, and long-term soundness of race and performance horses.
Founded by Ashlee Grives, a lifelong horsewoman with extensive hands-on industry experience, the facility operates with a calm, considered approach to rehabilitation and conditioning. Each program is tailored to the individual horse, taking into account injury history, workload, temperament, and long-term performance goals.
Every horse in our care is managed with patience, structure, and close attention to detail - prioritising physical recovery, mental wellbeing, and a safe, progressive return to work.
The facility provides access to a range of controlled rehabilitation and conditioning modalities, including a high-speed treadmill, sand auto-trainer/walker, horse swimming, walk-in walk-out stables, day yards, and paddocks. A purpose-built 14-horse barn allows us to maintain consistency, routine, and individual attention.
Located in Bathurst NSW, Grives Equine Rehabilitation works collaboratively with owners, trainers and veterinarians to ensure every rehabilitation or conditioning program is approached with integrity, professionalism, and care.
Our Programs
Every horse is assessed individually. Programs are tailored based on injury, history, training goals, and temperament.
Early-Stage Rehabilitation
We provide carefully managed early-stage rehabilitation for horses recovering from tendon, ligament, joint, and soft-tissue injuries. Particular emphasis is placed on correct manangement during the critical first 8-12 weeks post-injury, with programs developed in consultation with veterinarians to support optimal healing, comfort, and long-term soundness.
Reconditioning & Return to Work
Our reconditioning programs are designed to progressively rebuild strength, fitness, and confidence following injury, time off, or a spell.
Each program is individually tailored, with a focus on low-impact work, consistency, and a safe, structured return to training in a calm environment.
Specialist Conditioning
We provide carefully managed conditioning for race and performance horses requiring a structured, low-impact approach. All work is conducted in a calm, quiet environment and is individually adapted to support both physical development and mental freshness.
Our conditioning focuses on rebuilding strength, confidence, and balance while respecting each horses temperament, stage of training, and ongoing soundness.
Collaborative Care
We work closely with owners, trainers, and veterinarians to ensure each horse receives thoughtful, consistent care aligned with their rehabilitation or conditioning goals.
Clear communication, professional oversight, and respect for veterinary guidance underpin every program, allowing each horse to progress at a pace that supports long-term soundness and wellbeing.
