Frequently Asked Questions...

1. Who benefits from these services?
While a full evaluation and treatment will benefit any horse from a preventative medicine standpoint,
specific signs that your horse may need treatment include:

  • muscle soreness
  • back pain
  • osteoarthritis
  • gastrointestinal disorders
  • anhydrosis (inability to sweat)
  • geriatric weakness, old age changes
  • bucking under saddle
  • lead-swapping
  • difficulty changing leads, picking up the correct lead
  • chipping fences, refusing to jump
  • head-tossing
  • failure to travel through
  • difficulty with extension or collection
  • problems with lateral work
  • and much, much more!

2.  How much do you charge for your services?

Please call for a current fee schedule, as prices are subject to travel distance, number of clients, and
treatments required.

3.  How many treatments are needed?
Depending on the condition being treated, a treatment routine will be established that is best for the
patient.  Some patients will benefit from even a solitary adjustment or treatment, while chronic injuries
may require frequent follow-up to reduce inflammation and re-train muscle and nerve pathways used to
compensating for trauma.

4.  Who can provide these treatments?
Check your state veterinary statutes to determine the laws in your area.  Use caution with lay-
practitioners. Most states require services be provided by a licensed veterinarian.  Most important is to
form a bond with your doctor, and that you are both working toward the same goals.  My patients
become part of my family, and I care for them as if they are my own.

5.  What should I expect after a treatment?
Please see "Post-Treatment Information Sheet"

6.  How long did it take you to become a veterinarian, and holistic specialist?
I spent 7 years in college, one year in an internship, and hundreds of hours over two years in continuing
education for certification courses, in addition to sitting examinations.  I learn something new every day
from my clients and patients, and continually strive to perform better and improve my services.
