SARATOGA SPRINGS — As the horse racing industry has grown more specialized in recent years, alternative equine therapy has evolved as a more widely accepted practice, says one longtime equine therapist in the Spa City.
Debbie Kral-Vargas, of Ocala, Fla., has been spending nearly half her time in Saratoga for the last 15 years, tending to thoroughbreds in need of physical therapy services so they can race at the top of their game. Her husband, Nerio Vargas, a former horse trainer and native of Venezuela, is the other half of their company, Therapeutic Equine Services.
“Chiropractics and acupuncture have gotten popular in the last 10 to 12 years, and along with it alternative therapies like massage, laser, magnetic blankets and PEMF (pulse electromagnetic field) therapy,” Kral-Vargas said.
