Cheers to 2 years in Texas and moving to Decatur!
I wanted to be able to offer residents in Decatur, Texas the opportunity to get their horse started while I have some time and before winter hits.

I average 25 treatments a week, which means I average 100 treatments a month. That’s 100 times I handle/work with horses that aren’t mine each month. I handle more horses a month than a majority of people will in their lifetime. Most professionals in the equine industry do. So please be kind to your equine professionals, we deal with a lot of horses, a lot of different personalities and levels of training, so having your horse ready on time, having a safe and sheltered spot for us to work in, ensuring to warn us of any behavioral issues, and paying your invoices on time, is the bare minimum to let us know that you appreciate our time and expertise in this industry.

Listen to your equine professional, I’m not saying we know everything, none of us do, but likely we’ve had more schooling, interning, and experience in the field than you, it’s why you’re hiring us, so have good conversation, ask questions, but listen with intention (this all pending you hire someone legit). All of my clients that do the “extra” that I suggest doing in between treatments get much better results than those that ignore the suggestions.

Working outside everyday in the elements is hard work, but adding that we work with animals that can react to the smallest of things makes it more challenging. Yes, we chose this profession, but it does not mean that we have to deal with behavioral and fundamental issues that your horse has due to lack of training. We should not be put in danger period. Do the work and proper training to ensure your horse can be worked on and handled by professionals. Set your horse and us up for success! Thank you ❤️

Such a great write up! Research on who you are paying/allowing to work on your horses!!

My goal with my social media pages is to share the successes of the horses I’ve worked on as well as provide readily available education to their owners. As you can guess, Texas is the wild west in terms of people saying they’re certified to do something when 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭. Anyone and everyone can call themselves a 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫, 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫, 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝐀𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭 etc. and it leaves the actual accredited professionals in these lines of work to prove themselves and be able to provide easily accessible information about and of their, corresponding certifications.
In the Acuscope therapy side, you can find these people in the fine print. For example, someone using 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐥, 𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐞, 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨-𝐀𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞/𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨-𝐌𝐲𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐞 “𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬”, 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 etc. which is going outside of the manufacturers guidelines that are necessary for providing the most optimal and 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭 care for your horse. When paying for a service using your 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲, make sure you do your research, ask questions, ask for the 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 of their equipment(and try and make sure they didn’t use someone else’s serial number) to call the manufacturer yourself and make sure they’re in good standing.

I will continue posting information to my page that I would’ve needed to further my research in this therapy modality when I was initially looking into it.

Really good read!!

The performance horse industry is all about instantaneous results lately and in my experience the factors that have led to a horse not reaching complete resolution or stability of their condition or injury are as follows:

1. Inconsistent treatment. If your horse has a plethora of problems and ailments that you want help resolving then consistent treatment is key. You cannot be consistent for 2 weeks then stop treatment before resolution is reached then wonder why your horse is not progressing. This therapy system used consistently will obtain positive results. We can make a program that suits your budget and goals, it may take longer or shorter pending what you’re comfortable with frequency wise, but sticking with the program is important. You do not give your horse supplements for 1 month then expect the same results after you stop use right? No. You give your supplements daily for the results. I see a lot of people bounce around not committing to a certain program or therapy system and that is not doing your horse justice. Healing takes time & consistency.

2. Lack of client compliance. Unless the horse is at my residing facility for me to control every aspect of their rehabilitation, client compliance is very important. You can do all the treatments but if you are not abiding by your veterinarians or my protocol then you are not helping your horses progress between treatment and in some cases I’ve seen people hinder their horses progress. If the horse has a soft tissue injury and is only supposed to be hand walked or on a controlled gradual exercise regimen to facilitate healing and you instead go turn your horse out in the pasture and it runs a muck then you wonder why the soft tissue injury isn’t healing or you have another problem… you aren’t helping your therapist or veterinarian get the results by not complying with the program. Horses unfortunately do not know what is best for them, we do. So if your horse is losing its mind because it has to be stalled please contact your vet.

3. Lack of proper diagnosis. In order for any rehabilitation or performance specialist to help you, you must obtain a proper diagnosis from your veterinarian. We can’t treat what we don’t know. Pending what the injury or condition is the horse will be treated differently and have different protocol. Now I’ve also seen one diagnosis happen then a compensatory injury arises. This is not uncommon. Horses are like onions sometimes when you fix one problem another arises, especially on complicated or advanced cases. That is why consistency and regular rechecks by your veterinarian are important.

4. Lastly, unrealistic expectations. I understand we all want our horses fixed. We want to use them. But pending what your horses injury or condition is we must be realistic about the expectation. If your veterinarian gives a 9 month prognosis for healing and you are wondering why your horse isn’t completely healed in 2 months then that is unrealistic. If a veterinarian gives a 9 month prognosis then a realistic viewpoint with a CONSISTENT rehabilitation program and correct client compliance would be 4-5 months. But you cannot be inconsistent and do the bare minimum of treatment and still expect those results. We are here to help you and your horse, but we all must be realistic of expectations, and every therapist should be able to discuss these expectations with you. Many of my clients know that I will try to be as aggressive as I can with a rehabilitation program initially then help the horse taper off as the months go on. Those that have followed through with my rehabilitation programs know how successful that has been.
