We are so proud of Jordynn and her amazing horses! It has been an honor to be apart of her team! ❤️🙌🏼

🌟Jordynn Knight🌟
Xtreme Athlete of the Event

Jordynn a 17-year-old senior from Roosevelt, Utah, was the standout this past weekend earning the Xtreme Athlete of the Event title at Litchfield Park, Arizona. Riding her phenomenal horse, Heza Swift Spyder. Goodbye Lane x Coops Glory (BF Heza Hotshot).

Knight's remarkable two day total saw her winning an impressive $22,964.00, along with $4000.00 in Xtreme certificates, and an array of other awards. Despite competing for only two of the four days of racing, Jordynn secured victory on both days, breaking the arena record on that pattern size, then breaking her own arena record on her second run on Saturday. (15.559) Proving it pays to run at Xtreme Barrel Races! Her dominance in the Derby, Mini-Million, Bonus Bucks, Youth, and Open categories solidified her status as the standout contender of the event.

Born into a family deeply rooted in farm life and surrounded by animals from an early age, Knight's journey into barrel racing seemed inevitable. At the young age of 10, she embarked on her barrel racing career, inspired by a neighbor's passion for the sport. Home-schooled and fiercely determined, Knight found her calling in barrel racing and hasn't looked back since.

Jordynn Knight's meteoric rise in the barrel racing circuit serves as an inspiration to aspiring athletes everywhere, showcasing the power of passion, perseverance, and an unyielding spirit of determination. As she continues to carve her path to greatness, Knight's name is destined to remain synonymous with excellence in the world of barrel racing.

Did you know we do wound care at ERC?
This guy got impelled on a tree branch, resulting in a pretty nasty flesh wound, and because of the damage to the tissue it had to heal from the inside out.
The first picture was Oct 24th, kylee was able to do the first aid and cleaning working with a local vet. He was brought to stay at ERC in a heated stall to help the tissue with circulation. We did daily tissue debris as well as medication, blue light laser, and magna wave treatments. We took weekly pictures of his progress and the last picture was Dec 1. About 6 week apart, when he was able to go back to riding and has a small scar. 🙌🏼

Checkout these results!!! 😍😍

This is the before and after with just one session of bodywork.

His rider knew he was struggling to drive from behind as well as not being able to reach out in the front stride. By releasing tight and restricted tissue, it allowed him to open up his chest and thoracic sling, while lifting his top line and relaxing his pelvis into the correct posture and allowing him to move more freely.

We can’t share this enough!!

One on one time…when there is no job to do, no rush to be somewhere, no expectations, just being there…connecting on that level, bonding! 🙌🏼 that’s when the magic happens!

Some horses need more than riding to become a winner.

Some horses need to trust you—they need to spend time with you.

Sometimes it’s what you do with the horse other than riding that helps them become great—that extra time spent grooming or just sitting in their stall.

Building a relationship matters to some horses.

Did you know that we are extensively trained in gait analysis and biomechanics and muscle function? We were taught these specifically to help identify the horse as a whole. To help understand where and how compensation patterns are created and why, by finding the root problem.
This includes noting balanced landing, stride, asymmetry, confirmation and so much more!
Because of this knowledge we are able find things before they can turn into a problem, or we can refer you to the proper veterinary care or therapy to help the healing process! Reach out to us to schedule an analysis to help keep your equine athlete in peak performance health!

Let’s talk about the how can the Equiband Pro system can be used in equine rehabilitation and conditioning!
We are very fortunate and greatful to have been educated and trained by Dr Nicole Rombach, leading researcher and educator of the equine spine and owner of Equicore Concepts LLC. Dr Rombach has developed this amazing tool to help with communication in the equine body “the brain processes sensory information and generates motor commands. These commands are transmitted through neural pathways from the brain to the spinal cord and then to the specific muscles involved.”
When used properly, "Studies show that Equiband® Pro has a positive effect on spinal stability in motion (back and pelvis), which is key for optimal athletic performance. Dynamic stability of the vertebral column is important to reduce risk of pain or injury from hollowing or instability of the back during exercise."
So in using this tool we can help find where the horse is weak and also help the body to strengthen, correcting posture allowing the horse to use it's body correctly increasing performance while preventing the risk of injury! 🙌🏼
You can find more information on their page with their peer reviewed clinical research! Equicore Concepts LLC Or visit with us about how we can help your athlete.
