Join me live this Thursday at 7p CST (5p PST/West Coast, 8p EST/East Coast) for a LIVE Q&A on Facebook! Any questions that you have about the Acuscope & Myopulse Therapy System, the equine performance industry, injuries that occur, and any other topics that you want to discuss or that arise, you are welcome to join me.

You can submit your questions ahead of time to ensure that I see them by sending us a DM to ask them privately, or leaving your question in the comments section here.

For everyone who submits their questions ahead of time, I will do a random drawing for a free Mane & Tail Serum from my Equine Relief Products collection!

Respiratory health is essential to horse performance, yet it's often under-appreciated or misunderstood. The equine respiratory system is much different than the human’s and it has some limitations, to the point where even a little bit of inflammation or obstruction anywhere in the respiratory tract has a big impact on your horse's performance.

Conditions on the equine asthma spectrum have different manifestations and degrees of severity, so much so you may not even recognize that your equine friend's poor performance issues are related to respiratory health. For example, "feeling heavy,” lack of energy, and slow recovery times are all symptoms that could indicate a condition in the milder end of the equine asthma spectrum.

Reducing dust in the horse’s environment (including bacteria, endotoxins, mites, mold, and fungal spores) is the priority when it comes to both prevention and treatment. Some sources of respirable dust are very predictable (e.g., hay), but things like chickens or chemical spray on nearby fields are also among the many possibilities that could trigger an allergic respiratory response in a horse.

Identifying asthma triggers requires veterinarians and owners to work together, so be sure to consult your veterinarian to learn more about improving your horse’s environment and respiratory health!

The goal for rehabilitation is to get the horse into a homeostatic state and back to normal work after an injury. Owner compliance is just as important as a proper treatment program. Together, owner and therapist are the backbone of getting the equine athlete back to performing their best. This wonderful patient has been moved to a maintenance program and released to full work. Congratulations!

Helping horses be a little more comfortable when they’re injured. I treat them wherever their body might need a little help for compensatory issues as well.

Continuing education for the win! It's good to participate in a formal review of the therapy system I use at least once per year. My favorite part is the Q&A throughout the session.

Good for all horse owners to know.

If you own horses long enough, sooner or later you are likely to face a medical emergency.

Learn to identify problems requiring immediate attention and take appropriate action while awaiting veterinary care!

There are so many options to access the deep digital flexor tendon low in the hoof where it attaches to the coffin bone. This is a treatment starting at the point of the frog through to the back of the pastern.

If you missed the most recent webinar about the Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse Therapy System due to internet issues there has been another one scheduled for March 6th.

An additional FREE webinar on the Electro-Acuscope/Myopulse Therapy System is scheduled for March 6th at 5:30pm PST!

It came to my attention that numerous people were affected by internet issues throughout the country on the day of the last free webinar. We still had a great group of people who joined, and I enjoyed meeting everyone!

I usually only offer the webinars once per quarter, however under the circumstances I am scheduling another one on March 6th at 5:30p. I hope this helps accomodate anyone who was affected by internet issues or those of you who couldn’t make it.

One of the many ways to treat a stifle injury is with the Y-probe. Its great for stimulating muscles, tendons and ligaments.
