Summer is still going strong.

Thank you all for keeping my schedule full. ⚡️

09/08/2024

Thank you all so much.
My books are full for the coming week.

If you are looking to get your horse worked on ASAP, please reach out!
I will put you in touch with girls who have availability to work for you.

05/08/2024

No schedule post this week as I am completely full.

It’s not lost on me how fortunate I am to have a schedule filled with regularly scheduled clients and horses.

I know your horses, they know me, and we know what to expect from one another. I get to know what they like and don’t like.
But best of all I know what’s normal for their body and it’s so much easier to recognize when something is off.

I am extremely limited on availability this summer.
BUT I do have contacts for different girls who might be able to get to new horses quicker than I can.
Please still reach out if you’re looking for someone to work on your horses. I’m happy to share their contact info!

Congratulations to Kristi & Summer! 🎉

You’re friendly reminder to not get stuck in your own head or your own habits.

Last week I was ready to tell an owner that I didn’t want to waste their money. We’d been searching and searching for answers.
The vets had been searching and searching for answers.
And we weren’t coming up with much other than chasing secondary issues.

As I was preparing for how I wanted to tell them that everything I’d tried wasn’t working, and I didn’t want them to be wasting their money, I had the realization.
Everything I’d tried wasn’t working….
So what hadn’t I tried yet?

Then the floodgates opened. I had a rush of new epiphanies, and I tried something else. Something new.
Boom. There it was.

Another trip to the vet, but armed with some new info and the owner seems to have their answers.

So take this as your sign.
If you feel stuck. If you feel like what you’re doing isn’t working… it’s time to change it up.
It’s never too late to try something new.

Thank you for having me out to the California Rodeo Salinas!

I saw lots of familiar faces, and met a bunch of new people and horses as well.

But you know what really struck me?
Every. Single. New (to me) horse that I got to put my hands on today told me that they regularly have their horses acuscoped at home.

That fills my heart with joy for our industry. The horse world’s “best kept secret” isn’t a secret anymore, and world class athletes are utilizing it regularly. 🙌🏼

I always enjoy my time spent at the Salinas Rodeo and this year was no different.
Best of luck to everyone! Enjoy the weather and make safe, fast runs.

If you are in Salinas early and want to get a jump on making sure your horse feels good, Leslie will be on site starting tomorrow.

Leslie and I are more then happy to communicate about my regulars and their needs.
This is the beauty of all of us working together! There is no competition here amongst us. Only collaboration. 💪🏼

I will be in Salinas, CA and have plenty of availability. 🫶🏼

15/07/2024

It’s Salinas week! 💃🏻
I can fit in a couple last minute horses this Friday in Salinas. See you all then!

Just a reminder, I am full for the next two weeks and booking into August as we speak.

I do have the ability to add an additional day in the Paso Robles area. So if you are in Paso and would like on my books, now is the time.

12/07/2024

Two schedule updates this week!

This is my schedule for the next two weeks.

Next week is full with the exception of Salinas. I do still have spots available.

The following week is full with the exception of Paso Robles. If I get additional horses added then I will make another trip up there Friday.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making this crazy schedule of mine so full. I am blessed beyond belief to have you all as clients.

If you are not one of my regulars and would like to get your horse added for a specific event, please reach out sooner rather than later.

Or if you are in need of an appointment that I just can’t fit, I am happy to point you in the direction of some friends of mine who may be able to fit you in sooner.

A good farrier is key to keeping your horses sound and performing.
Thank yours extra this week!

ℂ𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕓𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕣 𝔸𝕡𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕎𝕖𝕖𝕜!
Special thanks to 𝘿𝙧. 𝙄𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙡 and the amazing podiatry team at Santa Lucia Farm for their dedication and expertise.

10/07/2024

Just a friendly reminder, just because your horse hasn’t coughed, refused the gate or bled out their nose, doesn’t mean they haven’t bled or aren’t bleeders. This heat is brutal! If they bleed out, chances are they’ve been bleeding back for awhile. Trying to breathe with blood/ fluid in their lungs is a scary feeling for them! Getting strong, running off or diving at barrels is a good sign. Giving Lasix is easier on them then bleeding 🩸💉



We treat your horse as a whole 🙌🏻
If you don’t know where to start-
• Enter a race with a vet on site to have your horse scoped after your run. It’s cheaper, more convenient, and more accurate.
• If they scope with mucus or blisters, ask your vet about a allergy panel or pulling a BAL.
• No money is wasted when taking care of their lungs! 🫁

🚩🚩 If they are bleeding through lasix, stacking meds isn’t going to help. There’s an underlying reason as to why they’re bleeding. Do your vet work before stacking meds!

08/07/2024

Here is my schedule for the next 2 weeks.

This week is completely full.

Next week I have openings in San Luis, as well as a very rare opportunity to get on my books in Paso Robles.
At this point, I’m considering adding an additional day in Paso to get everyone done.

If you are interested in getting on my schedule for next week, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

I’ve also been asked to make my annual trip to the California Rodeo Salinas. I need a head count to make sure I get everyone fit in. Feel free to call/text/dm me if you’d like to be added to my list.

04/07/2024

Wishing everyone safe travels on this 4th of July weekend!

And sending a heartfelt thank you to the ones who risk it all to keep our great country free. 🇺🇸🎇

“Ok I might sound crazy, but…”

Insert horse owners insight about their own horse here.
I want to address this phrase and why you never have to worry about me thinking you’re crazy.

I can sum this up in 4 words.
You know your horse.

You know when they feel good and you know when something is off. I have lost count of the number of clients I’ve had that have taken their horse in for a specific issue, only to be told they’re crazy. There’s nothing there. This is a behavioral issue. A training issue. Only for months (or sometimes years) to go by, the client goes for another opinion, and low and behold the issue is right where they thought it was in the first place.

Sometimes I think we get labeled as over reactive. But the truth is that once you’ve been through a serious issue with a horse, you’re hyper vigilant. Rightfully so.
Very VERY rarely do I encounter an owner who has come up with some “issue” in their horse out of the blue.

Good horses don’t stop working. Sound, healthy horses don’t start presenting with problems in their jobs. And if you feel a problem in your horse, you are not crazy.

Whether it’s a hunch, intuition, feel, or a little nugget of info you picked up from someone else. I believe you. We will look at it. And if need be I have a list of other professionals I can refer you to so that you can dig deeper into the issue.

But please believe me when I say, I believe you.
You are not crazy.

Let’s talk about muscle contractions and why the Electro-Myopulse is superior to increasing blood circulation & optimizing performance 🤩

To start, tetanic contraction (strong muscle contraction) causes muscle fatigue and with repeated use of strong stimulation that produces tetanic contraction the nerves can become damaged to the point that eventually the patient will not be able to feel the stimulation. For example, milli-amperage current will produce generally strong muscle contractions, which gives the appearance of a positive, relaxed state initially, but eventually will lead to muscle fiber exhaustion and with repeated use will lead to the detrimental results described above.

On the contrary, the Electro-Myopulse utilizes micro-amperage and is programmed to continually monitor the tissue during treatment to only send the exact amount of corrective signal to the muscle. Tetanic contraction is impossible with the microcurrent slope waveform of the Myopulse, which means the tissue cannot be damaged because the Myopulse is utilizing microcurrent and also adjusting the output through the monitoring mechanism. The Myopulse leads to normalization of the muscle tissue by inducing a balanced electro-magnetic field. Circulation is improved by returning the muscles back to a relaxed state so that the muscle fibers are no longer constricted.

There are instances where clients have witnessed spasms during treatment in areas that are overly tense and the spasm visibly decreases over the course of the treatment. This response falls under the subjective response, which is detailed in the article “The Effect of the Myopulse On Improving Local Blood Circulation,” which states, “Spasms visily release during treatment; tight muscles become loose and knots smooth out...A sense of lightness, looseness, and ease of movement is frequently reported. Resulting increasing range of motion when constriction is released is generally quite conspicuous.” This is a significant aspect of how the Myopulse compliments the Electro-Acuscope to provide a well rounded treatment.

Here is my schedule for the next 2 weeks!

I will be doing some adjusting to my days on the week of the 4th. But I will reach out to all of you individually as we get closer.

I do have some availability in South County this week. Other than that I am totally full.

As always if you’re trying to add a horse to my schedule please reach out sooner rather than later!

“Sore” numbers and vet visits. Lately ive heard “the Acuscope was off” “it wasn’t sore there, it was here.”

The Acuscope isn’t wrong for picking up on chronic or acute inflammation in other joints, spots or areas, to the initial injury. The body will over compensate in areas because of the initial injury. Often I do body balance treatments for this reason. These treatments do not work 1x or once every few weeks. Theres no way to body balance properly or pinpoint the route of all cause with an every so often treatment.

The only time you will hear me say “you might get this looked at” is if I know the horse in all forms. In shape, not in shape, show life, home life, on the road and off the road.

A right hind suspensory can have the other 3 legs, and SI reading poorly. To go to the vet and say the Acuscope said all over, is a true statement sure. But to say it missed it or we didn’t find it, isn’t an accurate statement.

Inflammation doesn’t go away over night, and it really doesn’t decrease until all things align. Diet, exercise, and proper maintenance.

Rule #1- I can not diagnose.
Rule #2- my readings do not mean it needs to be injected. Maybe in your mind. But that is not the truth to those numbers.

We want to help your horse perform its very best! Consistency is key. Acuscope or no acuscope.

17/06/2024

I will get my formal schedule out to you all this evening!

Here’s where you can find me the next 2 weeks!

This Thursday (6/6) in Paso is full. I have zero room for additional barns.

However I do have 2 spots open for this Wednesday. Anywhere in south county. Or you can haul to me as well.

Rehab stalls are full for the time being, and I’m loving being able to provide post op care to these horses!

I’ve recently had an influx of new faces here. So if you’re unfamiliar, this is typically how my week shakes out.

Monday: Santa Maria & Northern SB County
Tuesday: Alternate between King City & Fresno
Wednesday: SLO ➡️ Nipomo
Thursday: Paso Robles area
Friday: overflow/haul ins

In these summer months, my schedule fills up weeks in advance. If you think you would like to add your horse to my schedule please don’t wait. I don’t like having to say no but at this point in the year, I just don’t have the availability to make last minute add ons.

As always, my phone number is on every photo I post. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Such a simple addition to your feed program.

Thank you to BK Equine Nutrition for adding this piece into my program years ago.

Reach out to Karlee if you’d like help making sure your horses nutritional needs are being met!

Did you know…

An 1,100-pound horse needs to consume a 2-pound block each month just to meet minimum sodium requirements in moderate temps and in no work.

TWO POUNDS of a salt block every MONTH! For reference, the small rectangle salt blocks are 4lbs each.

Many horses are sodium deficient, which is concerning since sodium is important for nerve and muscle function as well as hydration.

By top dressing your horse’s feed with plain white loose salt at a rate of 1 tablespoon per 500lbs per day, you can help meet your horse’s daily sodium requirement.
