Rob was 17 years old when he injured himself in November of 2005. We aren’t certain how the injury occurred, but he tore the lateral branch of the suspensory ligament on his left hind leg. He was lame, on stall rest, and in a lot of discomfort. After having the leg ultrasounded, our vet gave us a poor prognosis and NO hope for a full recovery. This was especially upsetting to my daughter and I. I desperately searched for other treatments and found Vet-Stem Cell therapy. He was treated with stem cells in January of 2006.
Rob has since made a full recovery and has not experienced any further lameness. The ultrasounds have shown the ligament to be completely healed, with no shorting or scar tissue. Rob is back to full dressage training. We are extremely pleased with the results of stem cell therapy and would highly recommend this treatment to other horse owners.

Condition prior to Vet-Stem Cell therapy:
Before hearing about Vet-Stem Cell therapy we were told to sell Sterling because he was too much of a risk for continually having issues with his hind legs. Sterling is a Trakehner that was imported from Germany because his jump was so fabulous and he would make the perfect Children’s Hunter due to his smaller build and long stride. Our vet then told us about “stem-cell" and without hesitation we were off to Rood & Riddle Equestrian Hospital in Lexington.
Results after Vet-Stem Cell Therapy:
He looked great immediately, but we followed our vets stern directions of letting him heal as long as possible for the best results. Well all we can say is, “WOW” and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. He is better than ever and placing in the ribbons.
A side note: When the vet told my then 12 year old daughter that she was going to have to sell him or try this “new therapy” and wait for a year and a half, she cried and was so heart broken. I wish you could see the 14 year old that is beaming every day when she gets to ride him. In the photo she was showing at the Waterloo Hunt Classic and was Grand Champion in the Low Children’s Division.
THANK YOU!

Tak It Like A Man came back very well! We rehabbed him slow, using swimming to help him come back into light training.
Once he was entered back into a race, he ran FASTER than he has ever ran before!
Tak It Like A Man is now a 4 time winner going 350 yards at Los Alamitos and Clocked AAA speed 7 times from 8 starts going 300 and 350 yards.
Tak It Like A Man is now standing his first year at stud in 2008 Double Bar S Ranch

Prior to Vet-Stem Regenerative Cell Therapy we just prayed that Zip Mes Asset, aka Picasso, would be sound enough to ride and be comfortable.
When our vet, Dr. McCaroll, suggested we try Vet-Stem Regenerative Cell Therapy we jumped at the opportunity.
The results were amazing; so amazing that Picasso won this year’s APHA Senior Western Pleasure World Championship. Scott Suggs rode him to victory.
Our dream came true. Thank you Vet-Stem!
Forever Grateful,
—Harlene & Russell Rowe

Mister Nicadual suffered a bow on his left front super digital flexor tendon in November 2005. It was stretched and torn and he was unable to work, only hand walk. He was treated with Vet-Stem Regenerative cells and the tendon showed remarkable healing. Five months later he was back in top reining competitions. Thanks to Vet-Stem, his tendon healed completely, and within just ten months of his injury we won team gold and individual silver at the FEI World Equestrian Games!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first used the stem cells, so I was shocked to see how rapidly the new tendon tissue filled what was lacking there just 30 days prior. I have had my fair share of tendon problems, but nothing has been as dramatic as with the healing help of the stem cells. Hearsay is one thing, but it is hard to argue with results. Stem Cell Therapy made me a believer and a return customer.

The results were amazing. Thirty days post-treatment, the ultrasound showed healing that would have normally occurred at the five- to six-month stage without the stem cell treatment. We are completely satisfied with the results and are happy to say that Losar is back to full work and showing successfully.

I have to give credit to stem cells for Brand New Dually's 100% healing. We just got second in non-pro cuttiing and we're going to the world competition in '07.

My professional barrel racing horse REGAIN FAME, aka Dimmer, was diagnosed with a torn high suspensory on his right front leg. I was told about many procedures and heard numerous opinions about what route I should take to get him back into the arena quickly. I was concerned with the longevity of his career, as he was only 8 years old at the time. My vet recommended Stem Cell surgery. Dimmer went to Alamo Pintado to have his surgery and I couldn't be happier with the results. He healed strong and has stayed sound. I am so pleased with the results and am thrilled with my choice to get stem cell done on Dimmer. Thanks to it, he is back to his winning ways!!!

Thanks to Vet-Stem, Rio is in great shape for the US Open. This was the most successful tendon treatment that I have seen.

We would like to thank your facility for helping with the recovery of a torn tendon injury on our horse Smokey. Between your technology and our local veterinarian Sarah Schreiber, Smokey has recovered from his injury. He is now able to go for short rides, has returned to pasture life, and is no longer confined to a stall.

Last spring and summer we did Vet-Stem cell treatments on my cutting horse, Hick from Tennessee. Hick is a 9-year-old quarter horse gelding who had an injury to his suspensory that was not otherwise healing after a couple of years of trying various approaches. After the stem cell treatments, he was on stall rest for several months. In November, Hick appeared to be sound and we started him back to light work -- first walking for a month, trotting for a month, and then light loping for a month. This spring we put him back in training and he has remained sound. I started competing on him last week and he seems as sound as ever. So, thus far, it looks like this is very much a success story for the treatment.

I just wanted you to know how far we have come from that first tearful conversation back in mid-January! Thank goodness for that call and for your recommendation of Vet-Stem! This has saved Kidd!! We are so excited that he has fully recovered, and we're back to riding again!

We thought there was no hope for Cisco. It's been three years since the OCD surgery and he was not sound. But after the stem cells, he is sound. Thank you!
