We love hearing from our students—especially when their experience captures exactly what we strive to provide.

Hearing from students like Alizeigh reminds us why we do what we do: to create confident, capable equine bodyworkers who are prepared to make a real impact.

The quiet seasons test your commitment more than anything else. When there’s no applause, no validation, and no one watching, that’s when it’s easiest to quit—and when it matters the most to keep going.

You have to believe in the seeds you’re planting even when there’s no visible growth yet. Clap for your own small wins. Celebrate your unseen effort. Remind yourself why you started and what you’re building toward.

External praise is temporary, but internal belief is what fuels longevity. Every step you take without recognition strengthens your foundation. Every moment you choose discipline over doubt brings you closer to the life you’re working for.

So stay consistent. Stay proud.

Your future self is already thanking you.❤️🔥

Knowing the names of muscles and bones is only the beginning. True expertise comes from understanding how the body moves and functions — and how one area affects another.

When you focus on application, not just memorization, you can:
→ Identify compensation patterns vs. primary dysfunction
→ Adjust your techniques based on how the horse is moving in real time
→ Make informed recommendations that improve performance and comfort

Anatomy becomes a living map, guiding your hands and decisions — not just words on a page. And how do you get there? With expert guidance and practice, practice, practice. That’s the difference between a good bodyworker and a truly great one.

Your job doesn't end when the session is over — your notes are a powerful tool for client retention. Here’s how to use them effectively:
1️⃣ Document Every Session & Track Progress – Record what you worked on, how the horse responded, and any observed patterns or changes. Use these notes to show clients measurable improvements over time.
2️⃣ Create Personalized Follow-Ups – Reference your notes when suggesting homework, stretches, or the next session focus.
3️⃣ Communicate Value – Sharing insights from your notes reinforces your expertise and shows clients you care about their horse’s long-term well-being.

Consistent, detailed notes keep clients engaged, build trust, and make it easier for them to see the value of returning — turning first-time clients into loyal, long-term partnerships.

If you own horses this is a great way to get accurate information and stop the spread of panic.

Strongly recommend people attend this call.

In light of the current EHV-1 outbreak, the AAEP and the Equine Disease Communication Center (EDCC) have organized a horse owner education webinar to bring you the most up to date information on this issue.

Next Tuesday, join specialists Lewis R. “Bud” Dinges (Texas Animal Health Commission Executive Director and Texas State Veterinarian), Dr. Krista Estell (AAEP/EDCC) and Dr. Katie Flynn (USEF) for an informative discussion about what EHV-1 is, how to recognize it, and most importantly, how to prevent its spread.

This webinar is FREE, but registration is required. Register here: https://events.zoom.us/ev/AnIoJrASj0vuX7Q_K87mKEjg5bxeMAkqp7fpSoOgVtVm_Zgo1g5m~AiiV7ZQ3bbmlEW2iSkeRTSAfMCYf2QhFMoprr7WRbM_MsiJRcBGT1oLj0Q
