Gold Standard Acuscope

Treating under the Texas sunsets 🤍

'The Best One I've Ever Rode': Main Street Boon, Joseph Harrison's Once-in-a-Lifetime Heel Horse, Dies at 22 Main Street Boon, the cutting-bred gelding who carried Joseph Harrison to The American, five NFRs and an AQHA world title, has died at 22.

Rehabilitation case update: 100% clearance 4 months post injury

𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀: LH medial 𝙨𝙪𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙧 with moderate synovitis of the tendon sheath. Inflammation of the digital tendon sheath causing impingement of the annular ligament.

Diagnosis obtained on January 26, 2026 via ultrasound. A rehabilitation program was made immediately following diagnosis that consisted of Acuscope treatment 4x a week with the vets hand walking protocol.

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 appointment on March 11, 2026, roughly 𝟲 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙨 after initial diagnostics were performed revealed that the medial suspensory branch tear was filling in substantially along with a big reduction in the synovial fluid. The tendon sheath inflammation is also substantially reduced. There was no heat or reluctance in movement that was present during the initial appointment. The owner was cleared to start introducing load bearing exercise (riding) again at a gradual incrementation to begin to strengthen the ligament. The horse at this time was tapered back in treatments resulting in 1 treatment per week until next recheck.

To note, during the first recheck for a tendon or ligament injury the vet is generally checking to ensure the injury has not gotten worse, usually there is NO improvement at all let alone filling of the tear as what was accomplished in this case.

Once the horse was almost to the cantering phase of the rehabilitation program, a second recheck was performed on May 30, 2026 where the vet 𝟏𝟎𝟎% 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 the horse to return to all normal exercise and competition.

The total time for 100% clearance on this Suspensory tear rehab was 4 months and likely would have been sooner if the weather had cooperated during her increases in exercise.

Successful cases like this are not possible without complete client compliance and a knowledgeable vet to work alongside with. This case had a large amount of scar tissue on the ligament likely from previous injuries from her past reining career that we had to work through making it more challenging to establish good pathways, but despite some challenges with previous injuries sites and the weather making our ridden work progress take slightly longer this horse recovered wonderfully and I can’t wait to see her back in the show ring!

Bilateral DDFT rehab update 🙌🏼

This is a bit of a late post, but 5 months after a client received a diagnosis on her main horse of bilateral DDFT tears, he has been cleared 🎉

During this rehab we took a minimalist approach and during the first half of rehab the horse received 2 treatments per week, after the first vet recheck was done with positive feedback saying the tears were 50% healed, the horse had to be tapered to 1 treatment per week for the 2nd half of the rehab, then at the 2nd recheck around 5 almost 6 months the vet completely cleared him!

I’m beyond excited for my client to have her horse healed and even though we took a modified approach, this horses rehab was still completed in half the time. For those that have ever experienced a DDFT tear you know that those type of rehabs can take up to a year, and those rehabs are usually only 1 tear 😉

This is a testament to consistency. My client knew she couldn’t do a super aggressive rehab program but she knew she could be consistent with a different frequency approach for a longer time span to still achieve the desired results. She stayed on top of the horses care, the horse was able to be turned out, she has been riding him, and he is not only healed but still strong. 💪🏼

My goal is to help clients achieve their goal, this is exactly why I create a minimal, moderate, and aggressive rehabilitation program outlines so each client can choose which fits their budget and timeline!

📣Announcement: 𝐖𝐞’𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤, 𝐂𝐀! 📣

Equanimity Animal Therapy is now based out of 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸, 𝗖𝗔 at a professional facility. We are excited to offer our services in this location and the surrounding areas!

𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐨 and 𝐘𝐨𝐥𝐨 county clients, do not stress, 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙡𝙮 𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙖 to service all of my current clients, but with this change does come a change in availability, so expect to schedule appointments a few weeks in advance if you're not already on a regular rotation.

With this expansion comes some exciting changes, not only will I be taking new clients in the Turlock, CA area, but I can now help service 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐧𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲 as well, which I constantly get a lot of requests for. Ideally, for clients wanting acuscope services I would like to have a host facility in the Fresno County area to facilitate people hauling in or leaving their horses for the 3 consecutive days of Acuscope treatment, so I can properly start horses within my program then I can make weekly trips to the area. If you would like to be a host please contact me.

Another amazing feature of this move is I can accommodate taking 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥. This facility features an indoor arena, outdoor arena, indoor round pen, outdoor round pen, and hot walker. There are employees on site along with the owner and myself to keep eyes on the horses. In house rehabilitations include treatment 4-5x a week and any veterinary prescribed exercise (hand walking etc) or medications. We can accommodate fully getting your horse back into their previous state of work if needed for an additional cost (since we have to pony then ride them). I will only take a 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 amount of in house rehabs, so that I can still accommodate all of my mobile clientele.

And 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 is that I will be within 10 minutes of Diamond Bar Arena and also RD Ranch, if there is an event at either of these locations and you would like me to meet you at the event to watch your horse perform and for me to do a manual/visual assessment of them, then please contact me. As long as I am home I can accommodate this. Or if you are a current client and would like treatment after an event held at either of these locations I can come to you or you can haul into our residing facility on your way out.

Services include:
🐎Equine Acuscope/Myopulse therapy
🐶Canine Acuscope/Myopulse therapy
🐎Equine massage (CEMT)
🏡In House Rehabilitation
🐎Assessments/Evaluations

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 to all my clients that have been patient with a lot of changes the last few weeks. It has been a whirlwind and I’m very lucky and thankful that we were guided to a great facility that will allow Equanimity Animal Therapy to reach more horses and help more people. To say God works in mysterious ways is an understatement. Thank you all for the continued support and I look forward to this new chapter!
