Form Through Function Equine Development

🚨 In light of the recent Equine Herpes Virus outbreak with confirmed cases of the neurologic form of EHV-1 (EHM - Equine Herpes Myleoencephalopathy), we wanted to share the steps we have already taken to ensure the safety of our hospitalized patients here and ongoing appointments, as well as some helpful reading material on this virus.

Effective as of this morning 11/19, we are:
* Requiring horses stay IN/AT their trailer until a staff member arrives to take your horses’ temperature.
* Requiring each client to complete a questionnaire before their appointment which includes detailed travel and vaccination history.

⭐️ There are no confirmed cases of EHV or EHM in our hospital at this time. We will not be intaking ANY horses with symptoms of EHV1 and that have attended the event(s) in Waco, TX or Guthrie, OK. Our veterinarians are strongly advising those who have attended these events to stay home, quarantine any potentially exposed horses and check their temperatures twice daily. Horses with a fever greater than 101.5F should be monitored closely and can be treated with supportive care such as NSAIDs (Flunixin Meglumine) as needed and ensure adequate hydration. 

🚨 ANY horse that presents with a fever greater than 101.5 F may be hospitalized ONLY at the discretion of the doctor present and is required to be tested for EHV 1 & 4 on intake.  

Please see the attached factual documents provided by American Association of Equine Practitioners and Equine Disease Communication Center. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns at 918-827-8000. We are here to help and keep your horses safe!

Hi Everyone,

With the recent outbreak of EHV 1 & 4 I will only be visiting one barn per day to work with horses and only visiting barns choosing to not allow any horses in or out. If for any reason I do have to visit more than one place in a single day I will stop home, shower, change, and disinfect my boots and spray my car with Lysol. I do not want to jeopardize the health of any animals while still providing service to my clients. Thank you all and stay cautious. Protect your horses.

This is a horse I had the privilege to work with and help. The first photo was taken shortly before I met her about 8 weeks after a pelvis injury. The second photo was taken after 6 months of once a month sessions with me. It was a team effort with my bodywork, the owner doing exercises I prescribed, the chiropractor and veterinarian all working to help her gain as much function as possible. This filly does have time on her side as she was just a yearling and the pelvis doesn’t fully fuse until about 6 years old so the more we can develop her muscles and build mobility with strength the better her outcome will be.

Today she can gallop around the pasture and runs circles around her friends. I am so humbled and honored to be part of her recovery.

This is one session of results. in the before image this horse is dropped through his thoracic sling with his sternum withers and the front of his ribcage sagging down. you can see that his withers are sinking down between his scapulas and his heart girth is the lowest point. His leg position is staggered and he looks weak in his stance.

In the after photo you can see that his sternum and withers have lifted significantly, his shoulder angle has changed for the better his heart girth is no longer the lowest point and he is standing square in front and looks strong in his stance pushing up from the ground with all 4 legs. His back has transformed from long and weak in appearance to short and supported. he is also less biased in his neck. The underside of his neck is soft and arching and shorter than the crest where in the before he is braced and tense.
