Pro nutrition tip:
After a sweaty ride or hard workout, give your horse and yourself a banana!
Potassium is great for muscle recovery plus natural sugars to restore glucose levels paired with some healthy fiber!
At the price of 29 cents a piece for an organic banana 🍌 can’t beat this add in!!

Business is not easy.
It does not take into account the emotions, ethics, or well being to create life balance.
Business is mathematical, and we are told to look at numbers to measure “success”.

I strive to create a different balance for myself and my patients.
A heart centered approach to support long term health.

I strive to find natural remedies for myself and my patients.

Supplements that can change your body just enough to create more comfort, less pain, and long lasting results.

Comment below or PM me if you are interested in helping animals and their humans find supplements that work!

Work from your phone, on your own schedule.
Help people while helping yourself create a better life balance❤️

Because moments like these are priceless and we all need more of them!

Spinal mobility is the core of physical health.

For humans or animals, the spine is the protector of the central nervous system, the nerves that are responsible for every single thing that takes place in the body.

For our horses, we often talk about flexion/extension and lateral bending which should be initiated through the back.

However, we rarely talk about compression and decompression!
Decompression occurs with active elongation …… such as when your horse seeks the bit. A key movement for mobility and strength of the small stabilizing muscles between the vertebrae, where the nerves run to the limbs, and where nerve impingement takes place.

Seeking the bit is a key movement for spinal health that is often skipped over in training.

For humans, active stretching is the key to elongation. Get out those yoga mats! Isometric strength helps decompress the skeleton!

Take time to take care of your spine!! And your horse’s!

A gentle reminder today that nothing is PERFECT
not one of us is SYMMETRICAL

PROGRESS is a comparison only to previous personal performance.

Today, accept the PROGRESS you see within yourself and your animals. No matter how small it seems. Look for the CONNECTION, which can be emotional, physical, or just energetic. A sense of presence in this one moment to be thankful for.

We who get to interact with ANIMALS and surround ourselves with humans seeking the animal to human bond are blessed to experience a different sense of being than most modern humans. We get to experience a unique connection that most have lost touch with.

Today feel that connection, no matter how small. This is PROGRESS in itself. A small peaceful perfect moment of connection can easily slip by unnoticed.

Be present enough today to notice, to experience, to be thankful.
You deserve it!

Share your progress in the comments!

Safely back in IL after a journey of Teaching in Ocala, site planning for a house near WEC with my architect husband JerMe Bentley, and then down to Wellington to work on some of my favorite horses and see some of my favorite people!!

Final Pit Stop to see Nikki Jewell and Beth Sabor in Kentucky for a ride and work!

And Alaska learned how to travel and is struggling with being left alone from her momma!! But she did great!

And don’t forget the manatees and turtles we saw!!

Ahhhh a clean car. It lasts a brief moment in the life of an equine vet!

Have you ever thought about all the steps needed to bring the clinic to your horse?

Unloading, loading, cleaning, washing, ordering, stocking, charging, updating, syncing, maintaining. Every day, week, month, year.

What are the real costs of this? I can assure you the time and labor costs more than what shows up on your invoice!
Just think about how much $$ per hour it costs your vet, and any help they have, to sit in that vehicle. Round trip. Plus the vehicle costs PLUS all of the above.

Not to mention every day I have to pack food, clothes, beverages for the day….. that’s why it looks like I live in my car 😂

I appreciate all of my clients, and patients! And I love working with those who see all the effort I put in just to get to the farm!!

Here’s my clean, empty car!!! And the dog that helps mess it up ❤️
