About Level 1: Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding

Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding is all "soft work" but it is very, very effective in correcting gait abnormalities, saddle fitting issues, and mysterious lameness. (What I mean by "soft work" is that you don't need a lot of strength for these techniques, anyone can do this!) These soft, gentle moves manually release "stuck" areas to keep the skeleton in proper form and function  so that the horse can load the body, joints, and hooves correctly. We'll also cover deep muscle unwinding that will have the horse presenting a 2″ taller, 4″ longer and they look as if they have gained 20 pounds after only a 1-hour session. As you know, horses are also sensitive and highly energetic, so this course goes over balancing chakras and aligning acupressure meridians, along with techniques in "listening" so that you can finally hear what it is your horse has been trying to tell you! (They don't always communicate verbally.) The key is to address the horse holistically, on all levels, not just the physical. Most equine professionals and other horse bodywork modalities do not address the whole horse, so you always end up working on the symptom and not the root cause which is why issues tend to come back time and time again.

What You'll Learn:

• How to evaluate your horse and identify problem areas
• Equine bodywork techniques to support previous injuries
• Stretches to keep your horse limber and avoid future injury
• Techniques for deep skeletal and muscular release
• How to actually "listen" to your horse
• How to balance and align their energetic centers
• Exercises to release trapped emotions
• Natural remedies for common horse health issues
• Valuable protocols to support your horse care regimen

What You'll receive:

• 3 days of expert hands on training
• A certificate of completion
• A deeper understanding of equine care and horsemanship
• A stronger relationship with your horse
• Techniques that you will use in your daily care routine
• Solutions to long-standing, formerly "unsolvable" problems
• A sense of personal empowerment (YOU can do this!)
• The chance to network with other horse lovers
• The possibility of saving $$$ on future vet bills
• A happier, healthier, better-performing horse!

Plus:

• BONUS access to 2 additional downloadable training videos,so you can start practicing right away!
• Level 1 Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding Home Study & Workbook, usually $350!
• Equine Cranial Sacral Energy Work, usually $60!
  ... all an additional $410+ value!!!

About Level 3: Equine Cranial Decompression

In Level 3 Equine Cranial Decompression we work on manually releasing the the cranial bones to relieve horses from past head traumas, most often from a pulled-back when tied incident. Compression of the cranial bones leads to horses that spook or are hard to bridle, recurring uveitis, headshaking, TMJ, heaviness or resistance on one rein, and even the ability to gain weight, assimilate nutrition, or digest properly.

How do the cranial bones affect all of these areas? First and foremost we have to consider that the brain, hormonal, and glandular centers are all housed in the horse’s skull, and if the skull has been compressed, that can lead to unnecessary pressure and lack of blood flow to these areas that regulate metabolism, hormones, thought, emotions, and more.

Some cranial bones also hold the eyes in place, and if these bones are crushed or shifted, it could be affecting your horse’s vision leading to spooking, or inhibiting proper circulation leading to uveitis.

And when a horse experiences cranial compression, it often affects one side more significantly than the other, usually the side they pulled back on the hardest when they were tied. This compression cascades from the poll, through the bones around the eyes, and into the TMJ and jawline. This misalignment may be what’s making your horse heavier or resistant on one rein. It can also make it difficult for them to chew side-to-side as they are meant to, and instead, they chew up and down which creates hooks and waves in the teeth and often requires costly dental floating as a temporary fix. It also means they won’t process their food and thus their nutrition properly and can even cause digestion problems.

Since it requires very specific techniques with a delicate touch, Level 3 is only taught in person and is not available as a home study course.

About Level 2: Cranio Sacral Unwinding & Advanced Applied Kiniseology

Now that the horse’s body has been unwound and rebalanced from the Level 1 work, the next step is to bring it back to proper form, function, and vitality! Continue deepening your knowledge of holistic horsecare and bodywork in our Level 2 Clinic, "Equine Cranio Sacral Unwinding & Advanced Kinesiology."

In this 3-day hands-on class, we will go deeper into the horse's body to release cranial bones as well as inner core muscles and Fascia. Releasing these areas helps organs, tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, and more relax so that the body can function more smoothly.

Many horses with problems like Uveitis, Kissing Spine, Wobblers Syndrome, and String-Halt have had their lives saved or wholly altered from the techniques you will learn in this course. Return those labeled as "unfixable" to healthy, sound lives full of longevity.

Then what else is next? A lot! We use advanced Applied Kinesiology to ask where there is pain in the body and what physical or energetic blockages need to be released so the horse can heal. We will also look at energy meridians, how they affect your horse, and what you can do about it.

You will find that the area that is painful and lame is not always where it starts! Discover how to trace problems back through to the original, root cause.

What You'll Learn:

• How to assess equine health
• Fascia, muscle, and tension release
• Concepts and techniques in Cranio Sacral Therapy
• Concepts and techniques in Applied Kinesiology
• Concepts and techniques in Acupressure
• How to release physical blockages
• How to release stuck energy
• How to support your horse's total wellbeing

What You'll receive:

• 3 days of expert hands on training
• A certificate of completion
• A deeper understanding of equine care
• An improved sense of horsemanship
• A stronger relationship with your horse
• Techniques that you will use in your daily horse care routines
• Solutions to long-standing, formerly "unsolvable" problems
• A sense of personal empowerment (YOU can do this!)
• The chance to network with other horse lovers
