Ocala, FL (August 12, 2009) - The Sanctuary Equine Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation Center, one of the most comprehensive facilities of its kind in the world, is a strong supporter of the Florida Association of Equine Practitioners (FAEP) and recently took part in the FAEPÕs Second Annual Foot & Farrier Symposium. The Sanctuary set up a booth at the symposium, held in Orlando, to introduce veterinarians and farriers to their state-of-the-art facility.

We wanted to acquaint the experts, farriers and veterinarians who attended the symposium with The Sanctuary and what we can do to help their practices,” said Tom Grabe, The SanctuaryÕs Managing Partner. “The Sanctuary is a Trustee of the FAEP so we were really pleased to be part of the event”

Grabe added that The Sanctuary is committed to the healing, conditioning and well being of all equine athletes, and many of the practitioners attending the symposium visited The Sanctuary following the weekend. “We were able to introduce many new people to our facility and explain the inner workings of The Sanctuary, our state-of-the-art equipment and protocols that can help them better serve their clients,” Grabe added.
