WORKING WITH OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS

Testimonial from Spokane, Washington

My horse hadn't been moving quite right for a while, and that along with on and off swelling in one his legs caused me to call the vet. The vet gave his lameness a 4 out of 5 on the severity scale. Alexandre had to be put in a stall for 6 weeks, only walking 30 minutes a day. After the 6 weeks were up, the work load gradually began increasing, but the swelling in his leg never completely dissappeared. After 2 months, he was lame again. Same diagnosis, but this time we did X-Rays and an Ultrasound. Nothing showed up. Back to the 30 minute walk a day.

For the next 6-8 months, Alexandre's leg would swell up often, but he stayed sound. I was riding regularly, getting ready for the summer horse shows. Then disaster struck! For the third time, my horse's leg was swollen and he was limping. No one could find anything structurally wrong. He had the best vets and the best horseshoers in the state trying to help him. Ice, heat, massage, chiropractic, special shoes... nothing worked.

Enter Toby. I asked Toby if he could look at my horse during my own drumming session. Just to see if he could find anything wrong. Toby saw an energy band running up over his shoulders that was out of place, so he fixed it. It was raining that day, but we went to the barn anyway because Toby loves horses so much he just couldn't keep himself away. The swelling in my horse's leg was completely gone. Not just a little gone, but completely gone and we found Alexandre running and jumping around his paddock. As I examined him, I could feel all of the bones and tendons for the first time in over a year.

Alexandre has been doing great ever since. I have Toby do a refresher session every now and then to keep Alexandre in tip-top shape. If Toby hadn't been there to help, I don't think I would have ever been able to ride or show my wonderful friend again.

Thank you!

Megan

That's an awesome story - good for you . I've seen these kind of corrections before as well - i'm a farrier in the bay area california for 16 years now . Graduated from what is considered the best horseshoeing school in the world ya know (-:
However when i graduated from their 5 thousand dollar course i still felt like something was missing . So really researched shoeing for myself from every angle and comparing against all the other methods out there and discovered something amazing for myself . You know - not one single lame horse as a result for over 16 years now .
Megan - take it from me - horses feet can play a huge part in what'd going on with the rest of the body . Make sure your farrier is trimming or shoeing your horse correctly as well as getting the adjustments . i'm available for consultation at no charge as i really want to do something for this industry and get the information out to the public in general .
get ahold of me i'd love to offer some help.
