Angela,
Holy Cow!!!!! You would not believe how much Lu can turn her head, both ways!!!!! I couldn't believe it!!!! She was able to scratch an itch her croup with her teeth on both sides!!!!! Stood still, never once having to move her hind quarters to help her reach!!!! I'm so excited!!! Ya!!! She even turned her head to see what I was doing with her blanket when I was hooking the leg straps. She was able to get her head all the way there!!!!
I even think her croup looks a little more even. But I could just be a proud mama.
Anyway, I can't believe what a difference!!! Amazing. So....can't wait 'til the next one!!!
Just thought I would let you know how effective you are!!!

We purchased our horse Cassie in the fall of 2007 from a therapeutic program. She seemed like the perfect horse for my children and me to enjoy, especially my oldest daughter who was diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder. Cassie was working out perfect for us until we noticed that she was having some issues with her back and feet. The vet came out and diagnosed her with Nevicular in the winter of 2009. They said that she would be perfect for giving pony rides and short trail rides over even, soft ground. But we felt bad for her. She could hardly walk out of her stall in the mornings.
We decided to have Angela come take a look at her and with the help of our Chiropractor she was able to make major improvements for our mare. Angela comes out 2-3 times per year to work on her muscles and make her more comfortable again. I have seen major improvements in her gait as well as her attitude since we found Angela! THANKS ANG!!!!

I am a person who suffers from chronic neck pain for a long as I remember. I have told my PCP many times about this and was sent to the Chiropractor for 6 months, 3 days per week as well as Physical Therapy once per week trying to relieve some of the pain. This only brought the pain level to a minimal level but did not relive the pain completely. The only thing that seemed to work completely was Massage Therapy. So I began going to different masseuses trying to find something that gave me relief for more then a few days.
I had one masseuse tell me that my neck issues were stemming from my posture. The massages were very relaxing and comforting, but after a few days the pain would return. I later found out that these are better known as "luff and buffs" meaning that they made me feel relaxed and comforted but did little to release the pain.
I met Angela a few years ago when my boss hired her to massage our Quarter Horse who was recently diagnosed with Nevicular. I decided to try her, for myself, and have never felt better! I try to see Angela on a once per month basis to keep everything in order. I have minimal to no head aches anymore and I find that I am not as fatigued or irritable. She really helped to change my issues and I am forever grateful to her for that.
I STRONGLY recommend Angela for both human and equine massage!
