IT'S HERE! and IT'S FREE!
I've been getting lots of requests recently for virtual clicker support, and I've been telling you all to hold your horses because I have this great thing coming to get you started - and it's finally ready!
I've created an online course called Clicker Training 101 and it's absolutely 100% FREE.
Read MoreLearning to trim my own horses has been a real adventure. It’s simple and endlessly complex all at the same time.
Even in my PT program, we glossed over the feet because that was “farrier territory” - but I knew it was something I needed to understand more deeply in order to really help the horses in my care.
Read MoreIt’s been the month of stiff low backs so I figured it’s time for a little movement analysis before and after to help train your eyes!
This little mare is a really great example because of her dorsal stripe! It makes it really easy to see what’s going on.
Read MorePause or a moment and try something with me...
I want you to close your eyes, focus your mind on what you love about your horse, and take 10 deep breaths, then come back here.
What do you see?

Read MoreI’ve heard it time and time again…
“That’s just their conformation”
“Once their back drops that’s just how it is”
“There’s nothing we can do”
I’ve heard it so many times that I started to believe it myself.
Read MoreI probably don’t say this enough…
But the truth is rehab is HARD.
Caregiver burden is real and it’s valid and it can destroy relationships if you don’t make sure to take care of yourself, too.
Your friends are going on a trail ride and you can’t go, so your social life suffers.
The changes are often small and slow, it’s hard to see and feel the progress to stay motivated.
Read MoreHere we’re going to stick with our side view and the same horses from Part 1, but we’re going to focus our eyes specifically on the spine.
The spine is the (hopefully) stable base off which everything else moves, so dysfunction in the spine can have far-reaching consequences in movement and posture.
Therefore, having the ability to quickly screen for spine dysfunction is super handy!
Once again, this is not diagnostic, dysfunction here can happen for many reasons. This is big picture stuff that might key you in that a horse needs an evaluation from a professional.
Read MoreI was chatting with some old friends the other day and they said something that really hit me -
“We just can’t see what you see”
When I post before and afters, they have no reference point and they can’t always see the changes. Which is before? Which is after? And if they can see differences, which differences are “good differences?”
I do not think they’re alone! Actually, I know they’re not alone.
Read MoreDIMINISHED INCLINATION and why it needs to be the first thing you check for if your horse has TMJ dysfunction.
This is a before and after from some top notch work from equine dentist Suzzi Peeler today.
We’ve been looking for a diminished inclination example to add to our online course The Equine Dental Connection and today was the day!
This guy was kept up to date on dentals, but unfortunately as sharp points were taken down, the normal angles of the molars were not restored by the practitioner.
