Howdy Partners!
Premier Equine Center teams up with Professional’s Choice and LMF Feeds.

Professional’s Choice of San Diego is partnering with Premier Equine Center (PEC) of Northern California. The sponsorship will exclusively provide PEC with therapeutic products that will be used during the performance enhancement and treatment process.   

In addition to equine sports medicine products, Professional’s Choice provides therapeutic products that are second to none. As part of their partnership, Professional’s Choice will provide polo and no-bow wraps, ice boots, protective leg care products and magnetic therapy items. This will allow Premier Equine to offer the best rehabilitation, healing and conditioning programs, and top of the line equine sports medicine products for continued health and prevention. 

Professional’s Choice is a pioneer in producing products strictly with the well being of the horse in mind. As inventor and manufacturer of the original patented Sports Medicine Boot, the SMB Elite™ and the SMx Air Ride™ Saddle Pad, Professional’s Choice continually produces high quality products recognized by top trainers, professionals and everyday horsemen all over the world.  

Located in Northern California’s Jamestown, PEC provides state of the art equine healing and rehabilitation services. It is the only public facility on the West Coast that offers a Cold Salt Hydrotherapy Spa. Studies have shown that Cold Salt Hydrotherapy is a vital treatment that reduces inflammation and accelerates the natural healing process. Additionally, Cold Salt Hydrotherapy can be used to treat many forms of lower leg inflammation and injuries. 

The Premier Equine facility is also home to the only equine solarium in California. The Premier Equine solarium does not require the horse to be restrained, but free and comfortable in a stall. Premier Equine also provides many other treatments including a covered free flow equiciser, the widely tested and trusted P3 Machine, a pulsed magnetic device, equine massage therapy, equine chiropractic and equine dentistry. The Center’s staff works closely with each horse’s veterinarian, following their recommendations. It also has an onsite attending veterinarian overseeing treatments. 

Quality Feed

In related news, LMF Feeds Incorporated is now the official feed for Premier Equine Center. LMF Feeds has provided horsemen in the western United States with unrivaled top quality feeds that are formulated to balance with regional forages. LMF was a leader in offering A (alfalfa) and G (grass) formulas to balance the diet with the forages being fed, and for offering two truly low non-structural carbohydrate feeds, Stage One and Complete. All of LMF’s feeds are formulated by Dr. Stephen Duren of Performance Horse Nutrition, utilizing the latest in equine nutrition research.

Premier Equine is owned and operated by Amie Allen and Patrick Grohl. Allen is a competitive horse rider, certified massage therapist and is certified to operate all the equipment used at the Premier Equine facility. Grohl grew up on a ranch, was a competitive team roper and high school/college team roping champion. Both owners are extremely knowledgeable and experienced equine professionals. Several noteworthy veterinary hospitals and professionals recommend their clients to PEC. 

“Premier Equine Center provides an unparalleled equine rehabilitation facility tucked away in the picturesque foothills in Northern California,” notes Luke Bass, DVM, MS. “Their staff is exceptional in providing the utmost care for their patients.

We have full confidence in the technology and refer our clients to Premier Equine for all their rehabilitation needs.”

Jerry B. Black, DVM, concurs. “Premier Equine Center is a modern equine lay-up, rehabilitation and conditioning facility that offers state of the art therapy equipment and treatment. We find the staff led by owner Pat Grohl to provide excellent hands-on care and they are very professional and dedicated to the horse’s health and safety during recovery or lay-up.”
