When your horse extends through their AO joint [the articulation between the base of the skull and C1], their lower jaw retracts - you can feel this yourself if you point your nose to the sky, notice how your bottom jaw glides back.

When your horse flexes through their AO joint, their lower jaw protracts - you can feel this yourself if you press your chin to your chest, notice how your bottom jaw glides forwards.

When your horse flexes through their AO joint, their laryngeal diameter decreases - you can feel this by pressing your chin to your chest and taking a deep breath in, notice how much harder that is.

If your horse has tension in their jaw, they lose range of motion through their AO joint - you can feel this yourself if you clamp your jaw shut, notice how much harder it is to point your nose to the sky or point your chin to your chest - your neck feels tight and immobile.

And the same can be said if your horse has tension through their AO joint or neck, they will lose range of motion through their jaw.

-

Now do all of those movements again and notice how, when you drop your chin to your chest:

It's difficult to inflate your ribs to breathe,

It's hard to round your back,

Your hips tighten up.

This is because you've impinged your deep ventral line.

We do this to horses when we ride with a rein length/tension that doesn't accomodate and support their anatomy.

So if we compress their jaw and neck, we compromise their ability to:

Breathe

Lift their back to carry a rider

Activate their hindlimb.
..Gives us quite a lot to think about with how many horses are ridden and trained, doesn't it?

This is spot on!

Organs, Emotions & Lameness

Organs are a leading cause of lameness and they will dominate soft tissue and bone. In osteopathy this well know relationship is called “Visceral Somatic Dominance”.
Every organ when is dysfunction will exert a local and referred physical torsion.
A central theme is that when an organ is out of position, in spasm; its metabolic function is impaired. Or currently more common, when an organ is metabolically impaired, it will go into an inflammatory spasm, and will have reduced movement in all motilities, and create spasms in surrounding tissues, and entrained muscles/bone/fascia. Essentially, organ dysfunctions create predictable physical holding/lameness patterns and the severity of these patterns is proportional to the degree of organ dysfunction.

E.g. when addressing a severe renal dysfunction, the involved kidney will feel like a hardened board or even steel plate, have no motility, and have enormous spasmatic structural spams in a very large area. The psoas muscle on the side of kidney dysfunction will be in spasm not because there is necessarily a psoas muscle strain, but because the psoas muscle is entrained to the kidney. I clear psoas muscle issues 100% of the time and it's rarely a "Muscle" issue, rather an organ issue.
Clearing the “Downstream cascading effects”, helps but does not solve the core issue. In the very common example of an ulcerated stomach, masking the symptoms, or alleviating the acid content with beta blockers, and herbal compounds is and may be necessary, but it will not in any way clear the issue. An ulcerated stomach will severely torsion T12 ventrally making impulsion all but impossible. If one were able to reset T12 (unlikely even with the best of equine DC’s) without resetting the core stomach dysfunction, T12 will retorsion within hours as the stomach absolutely dominates it.

Therefore, any practitioner worth their salt, must have a good understanding of organs and visceral somatic dominance in their repertoire.
By resetting an organ, corresponding muscles, nerves, and bone can reset as well.

The most drastic organ dysfunctions are emotional cysts!
Specific emotions when in imbalance tend to settle in specific organs, hence, organs are the predominate tissue where our unsettling biography settles, or particular emotional/belief impairments hang out.
Many times I'm just working through the body and come upon an organ that is difficult to rebalance. That's a clue that there is likely an emotional cyst holding the organ in spasm. One must then direct intention and intuitive insight into sensing the essence of this particular emotional/belief cyst, and bringing this aspect of "Shadow" to the surface ( IET Equine Craniosacral Courses). Dialoguing with the horse to fully face it, embrace it, understand its message/lesson and ALLOW it to transmute and leave.

It is here that horses will often defer and redirect to their human if they're mirroring the issue. If the horse is mirroring a deep emotional issue, clearing the horse only will never hold, it may release for awhile, but never leg go and be done with it.
Many horses will utilize the hand ting points as a bridge to bring the session focus to this core essence early on (see previous post)
These emotional/belief cysts are the key lameness and metabolic areas. They are representative of where the horse/human got off their path, or their soul's purpose.
These physical/emotional/spiritual areas always contain a central core where they 24/7 emanate noncoherent energy waves in a spherical shape. It is rather easy to teach students to pick up these waves and then locate the exact core space its working from. Then one can easily nudge this cyst and the organ back to vitality.

Horse friends: 🐎🐎🐎

Show season is upon us and my schedule is starting to fill up. I am booking about 2 weeks out, so get with me sooner than later to get on the schedule. Just a reminder: There is a 3 horse minimum (with some exceptions).
Price will vary some depending on distance.

There has also been some interest with me setting up at some shows- I can definitely do that if there is enough interest. Message or text me with any question or to schedule! Looking forward to seeing you all! 😀

🐴 Here are 15 interesting facts about a horse's brain:.
1. A horse’s brain is relatively small compared to the size of its body, and accounts for only about 0.1% of its total weight.
2. Despite their small size, horses have very complex brains, with a highly developed cerebral cortex, the part of the brain responsible for conscious thought, decision-making and memory.
3. Horses can learn and remember complex tasks, such as navigating a jump course or performing a dressage routine, through a process called associate learning.
4. Like humans, horses have a left hemisphere and a right hemisphere in the brain, each with specialized functions. The left hemisphere is responsible for the processing of logical and analytical information, while the right hemisphere is more involved in emotional processing and creative thinking.
5. Horses have a great memory and can remember specific people, places and experiences for many years.
6. Horses can learn by observation, and often they can acquire new behaviors and skills simply by observing other horses or humans.
7. Horses have a very sensitive sense of touch and can detect even the slightest pressure or movement on their skin. This helps them respond to subtle cues from your rider or guide.
8. Horses can process visual information very quickly and accurately, allowing them to avoid potential hazards and navigate their environment with ease.
9. Horses are social animals and rely on nonverbal communication to interact with other horses in their herd. This communication is facilitated by the horse’s brain, which can interpret subtle changes in body language, facial expressions and vocalizations.
10. Ultimately, like all animals, horses have a unique personality and individual traits that are shaped by their experiences, genetics and environment—all of which is reflected in their brain function and behavior.
11. Horses have a very strong sense of smell and their odor bulb, which processes smells, is relatively large compared to other parts of their brain.
12. The brain, which is responsible for coordinating movement and balance, is also relatively large in horses. This is because horses must be able to move quickly and efficiently to escape predators or navigate through difficult terrain.
13. Horses have a very high pain threshold, which is believed to be related to how their brains process pain signals. While this can be beneficial in some situations, it can also mean that horses may not show obvious signs of pain, making it harder for their caregivers to detect and treat underlying health issues.
14. The hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in learning and memory, is particularly well developed in horses.. This allows them to remember not only specific experiences, but also general concepts and patterns that they can apply to new situations.
15. Finally, studies have shown that horses, like other animals, are capable of experiencing emotions such as fear, happiness, and anger. These emotions are believed to be mediated by the limbic system, a group of interconnected brain structures that play a key role in regulating mood and behavior.

I just LOVE my mares 🩷🔥 Perform better with consistent Acuscope treatments! ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Perfectly said! 🙌🏼

Day one in Vegas ✅

The topic starts with Acuscope/Myopulse as a maintenance or preventative.
• Soreness isn’t a question of if. It’s when. Athletes get sore. It’s part of it. Does sore mean crippled? Most of the time, no. Can they win sore? You bet. A winner is going to win no matter the circumstances. Can you mask soreness with meds? Sure can. Is it wrong? Depends on who you ask. We all want the best for our athletes. We ask them to do big things, and to them, it’s just another day. They don’t know the money you’re putting up. They don’t know why they’re getting on the trailer or for how long. So where am I going with this? Well, often times I hear “they feel great, we’ll call you if they get sore.” I will always respect the owners wishes as they know their athlete better than anyone else. Which brings me too, yes. The Acuscope/myopulse is a great way to help your horse stay balanced and correct. It helps the longevity of their injections. It helps keep connective tissue healthy ect. The biofeedback is the biggest perk of the Acuscope. Your horse might not show symptoms of being sore, but we can dang sure catch when your cellular balance is starting to shift. Starting as simple inflammation. When you balance and keep their body balanced on a cellular level, their body bounces back faster and stronger each time. So when the time comes that they DO get sore, it’s nothing to help them out. Now, when they’re repeatedly getting sore, that’s when I say we have to start pulling layers back like an onion to find the original cause. And if I think I know a rodeo athletes schedule, we/you don’t have time for that 😏
