I love TBT! Another incredible change after the first visit from a TBT Alignment Specialist (after Mod II). Just look at this horse. He’s 25 years old, and has been dealing with a twisted right front leg. You can see in the “before” photo that even the hoof seems twisted. There’s also tension throughout the leg, causing ligament ‘bulging’ … Read More
Before and After
Isn’t this foal gorgeous? I don’t get to work on foals that often anymore, so I was delighted to see this baby in Gina’s case report (Gina had just completed the Module II Skeletal Alignment seminar).

But the owner’s face confirmed it. You know how a person can have such an “overcontrolled” expression, that you know they’re about to break down in tears? … Read More

Horse Fat vs. Fluid
This sweet Shetland pony, “Orangy” was on a diet. Her owner, Jason, explained he rescued her two months ago. “And dang was she fat!” It’s incredible that people let their ponies get so fat. She could have foundered or died!” Jason went on to say, “We’ve had her on a diet. She’s lost some weight, but we can’t get rid … Read More
