Help!

With rising costs of everything... we are doing our best to keep our prices affordable so we can continue to help horses and cover Florida, Georgia and Alabama.

We can't afford to travel for just 1-2 horses! So you can help by sharing us with your friends and help us spread the word when we are coming to your area!

We hate to say no! We want to continue to be there when you need us. We don't want to raise prices to do that.

Thanks!

Ok, I've been mistaken... Saddle fitting and shims is NOT easy. And it's NOT easy to explain over the phone or Facebook.
Every horse is different. You can make a mess and make your horse more sore by trying to do it yourself! So I highly recommend you let us help you in person! Once we've shown you on your horse, you'll understand.
But for y'all who think you can do it yourself, here's some photos and notes hopefully will help.
Remember!!...
* You can't sit on the bones!
* Don't waste money on a pad with buildups, they're probably in the wrong place for your horse.
* Don't buy a saddle for an unhealthy back.
* We TRY to help you use what you've already got to get you by and give you specific homework to build a healthy topline before you invest in a new saddle or pad.
* Trees can be crooked, even when brand new.
* Backs can be different from one side to the other
* Posture when standing vs in motion can effect saddle fit.
* Backs can be different when they're show fit, then have a month off enough that the saddle doesn't fit!
* Shims are temporary and must be monitored as the back changes so must the shims. Always check for dry spots or soreness after each ride.
* I'd rather your saddle be too wide than too narrow... But I'd much rather it fit perfectly and your horse's back be strong and healthy, in which case you wouldn't need to be reading this post! :)

"Ignorance is bliss!"...
Remember the good ole days when our horses didn't need maintenance?
When they couldn't pick up one lead, but we could MAKE 'em!
When we couldn't feel the saddle hitting us in one hip!
When we thought they just didn't like that lead, or backing straight, or cocking their head a little was normal....
It makes me so proud of y'all when you "feel stuff"

FAQ: How often should I have Horsepower recheck my horse?
* Well, that depends on the horse... how they take care of themselves... how rough they play... how hard they work... if they have any chronic problems that need maintenance...and if you do your "homework"
* The "homework" is the key to your success... If you do it, #1 they won't need us as often and #2 you'll know when they do.
* If you're competing every weekend, then we recommend a recheck once a month... this gives you the peace of mind that they will be ready when you pay your entry fees! And then you don't have to find out the hard way, you should have called us sooner.
* And especially before a big show, with big entry fees! We're just an extra bullet in your gun... lol... don't go half loaded.
* After time off... yes, they do more silly stuff to themselves out in the pasture than when you're riding regularly.
* Most importantly ... after you get familiar with "what GOOD feels like" then you'll know when any little thing is off!
* The success of our business is based on your referrals. We want your horse to feel as close to perfect as possible, as much as possible. We don't want to keep doing the same things with the same horse over and over!! We want to see you and your horse be A GREAT TEAM and then you can refer all your friends to us... and the happy horsemanship is shared!

Chiropractors....
I learn a lot from my own body, and it helps me understand horses.
I have used 3 different chiropractors. They all use different techniques. One is very exact and precise and quick. One does more general POP POP POP, and it feels good but sometimes muscles tense up before he gets the right alignment for the adjustment and then my body locks up and says "Oh heck No, you aren't doing that"
Then the 3rd, is a gentle lady, who gently feels and does motion palpation, if needed she loosens up tense muscles before she attempts adjustment, then she sneaks up on it and like a snap of a feather makes her adjustment. I often ask her, "Are you sure you got it, that was too easy"! She just smiles, does a motion palpation test and says yes. I walk out of her office doing my own testing, and sure enough, it's good!
Oh and I went to another one, closer to my home ONE TIME, after he poked and prodded and twisted me into a pretzel for 30 minutes trying to figure out what needed to be adjusted, even though I walked in and told him exactly what I needed.... I left worse than when I went in!!
Bottom-line - Chiropractic doesn't need to be aggressive, or flashy big entertaining POPS to be effective. It just needs to be done respectively, precisely, and correctly.

FAQ: How can I learn to do what you do?
Lots of people think they want to do what we do. And yes, we have the best job in the world!! We meet the most amazing horses every day!... But most people who try, can't hang with us, LOL, its HOT, DIRTY, physical work with long hours away from family and our horses, and we miss alot of competitions because we're too busy taking care of everyone else's horses.... So if you still think you want to learn, and are willing to put in the time we are more than willing to help and share our experience and help you learn.
My first recommendation is finish school, go to college.... Become a Veterinarian, then go to equine chiropractic school.... So you can do MORE than I do! If I knew, 20 years ago, what I know now, that's what I'd do!
If that's not an option for you.... Start with a good Equine Massage course, like Don Doran's in Ocala.... Start studying anatomy and learn every muscle and bone in the body... Put your hands on as many horses as you can... But with respect and caution!! I was in my 3rd year of school before I started touching anyone else's horses!!
Unfortunately Dr Fleming isn't offering her courses at this time, and she's so busy I don't know if she ever will again.
** There is no short-cuts! There are no fast courses, that I have any confidence in or respect for. But I believe if you make a commitment to start learning the basics, and do it well, and if this is truly your passion, doors will open and you will want to continue to learn additional therapies! Stay open minded and do it with honesty, respect, and love. Good luck!
** Yes, I know I'm suggesting you dedicate YEARS of your life to hard work, and studying, and alot of student loans. But if you're not dedicated enough to put in the time, maybe this is not for you. (I paid my way through school for 3 years while working a real job 40-50 hours a week and studying every waking hour. If I can do it, so can you, if you want it!
** If you want to know more, so you can work on your own horses ... We teach that everyday to anyone interested in learning! We start with easy homework and add to it every time we see you!
