Listen to what our clients say about us:

" Anke- the horses look great and you are doing a great job. Tempo looks so much better in only 2 weeks. The colt is coming around, too. I knew that they would do well at your place and they do. Tempo is calm now and that is what he needs".( Charlotte Austin)

" I am very happy- (my mare) has filled out and her condition is ideal- even her rump and loins came back. I am very pleased and have been telling people about you".( Bill Garland, Charlotte, MI)

My horse suffered from Equine Recurrent Uveitus (ERU).  This condition can result in permanent blindness. Veterinary medicine said "there is no cure".  I was totally devastated when I turned to Nature's Rehab for help.  Anke treated my horse using Photonic Therapy. Today my horse's eyes are bright and clear!  I am eternally grateful to Anke and her astounding healing expertise.  Dianne Bishop, Chelsea, MI

"My horse, Mohameds Drummer aka "Eddie" has had on & off lameness issues over the past several years. I have tried about everything know to man to try to help him.
A few months ago I spoke to Anke Lendeckel-Ackley of Nature's Rehab in Eaton Rapids, MI, regarding the various therapy / rehab work that she performs on horses. I informed her of his various "issues" and she was confident that she could help him. She stated that she was "Up for the Challenge"! I decided to send him to her place for 2 months of rehab therapy work. She performed a variety of therapies on him including:
Photonic Therapy, Magnetic Therapy boots, Pulse Magnetic Therapy <fe Massage, Sequential Compression Therapy (Lympha Press Equine) on all 4 legs, and Liquid Ice leg wraps.
With all the extra care and attention that he received from Anke and her associates, he is walking / moving better, is much more relaxed and is an overall happier horse. His movement is freer, and he shows no sign of pain or head bobbing when he is moving.
I would highly recommend anyone that is having any lameness issues with their horse, to give Anke a call. She can work wonders!" - Su Schmerheim

“Anke - it was great to meet you! And you have such a way with both animals and people - you are great at your work! Min is even less 'touchy' up by her c2 this morning, this has been so beneficial. Definately worth it! I'll keep your cards - pass them out when needed ;) Thank you and we will stop by sometime soon!” - Nan

“Anke - just a note to let you know what a wonderful job you did on “Chancey”. From not being able to walk, jump or turn to romping playfully in two days is simply incredible. Thank you so much.” - Dave Molhoek, owner of Chancey, a 12-year-old German Shepherd

“Following my horse’s surgery, I had few options for her recovery. I work full time and and board her 30 minutes away. Normally, my choices would have been a hospital stay or vet call twice a day to tend to her, which is quite expensive. Nature’s Rehab took care of her post-surgery for much less cost.”

“My quarterhorse was “blowing up” every time we saddled her. We had tried everything we knew to solve the problem. Anke massaged her, and the results were phenominal. We were able to saddle her in the crossties the very first time after the massage. Her mood also began to change. She seemed happy and relaxed for the first time in years. We definitely will not hesitate to continue using their services in the future. It sure saved us a lot in wasted training dollars.” — Kim Newell
