🐴 Healing Through Movement
At Equip Products, we believe movement is medicine — whether it’s powered by adaptive equipment or by the rhythm of a horse’s gait.
While our tools like the LapSecure™ Mat and Ankle, Leg, and Body Straps are built to empower people with mobility challenges, we know there are many powerful ways to find healing, strength, and confidence. One such method? Equine-assisted therapy — a unique and powerful experience that combines physical movement with emotional growth.
That’s where Oak Lawn Stables comes in.
🐎 Meet Oak Lawn Stables of Glen Carbon, Illinois
Located just outside St. Louis, Oak Lawn Stables is a serene training and boarding facility run by Damon Buehrer — a lifelong animal trainer with a fascinating past. Before founding Oak Lawn Stables, Damon trained Shamu the killer whale at SeaWorld, working with some of the most intelligent and powerful animals on the planet.
Today, he brings that same care, communication, and training expertise to the world of horses.
Oak Lawn Stables provides:
-
Training across multiple horse breeds
-
Therapeutic riding opportunities
-
Programs for individuals looking for physical, mental, or emotional healing through equestrian movement
Damon’s intuitive training methods and the calming presence of horses make this a truly transformational experience for many.
🤝 The Intersection of Adaptive Equipment and Animal Therapy
At Equip Products, we see the power of tailored movement every day. Tools like:
-
The LapSecure™ — providing a secure, flat surface for those seated in wheelchairs
-
The Ankle/Leg/Body Straps — helping facilitate safe, guided movement in rehab and fitness sessions
-
The Multi Ropes™ — offering cardiovascular benefits even from a seated position
...all contribute to autonomy, wellness, and confidence.
Equine therapy complements these outcomes beautifully. Riders often build core strength, balance, and coordination — similar to the benefits gained through using Equip tools. Even more, working with animals can boost mental clarity and emotional regulation, especially for individuals living with trauma or neurological conditions.
🌟 Partnering with Passion
Whether you're rehabbing from an injury, navigating life with a disability, or simply seeking new ways to move, Equip Products and Oak Lawn Stables both offer unique, effective ways to support that journey.
We’re proud to support professionals like Damon who dedicate their lives to helping people move better — whether that’s with the help of adaptive equipment or a gentle, intuitive horse.
