Why Holistic Horseworks Equine Unwinding Level 1 class is working where other modalities have failed.
April has an amazing insight and ability to help your horse communicate what it needs to heal and come back to comfort and balance.
How does this help your horse? She teaches all this in her 3 day class, to you. April's gift is like having a medical intuitive helping your horse. Unable to make it to one of her classes? April does 'Distance readings' to dial down on your horses specific issues then her DVDs walk you thru how to release the issues. (see store page) April Battles resides in Newcastle CA and teaches in Placer county and surrounding area's as well as internationally (see clinics page)
Why do well trained horses buck? Because they are in pain somewhere. Mysterious lameness? It all starts somewhere-signs we missed, pinning ears, swish of a tail, unwilling to switch leads, girthy, tripping, or cross firing at the canter.
April has an amazing ability to trace it back to the source - don't treat the sypmtom - treat the main issue causing the lameness symptom, or it will keep coming back.
April has helped thousands of horses and their owners in the UK, Canada and various states all around the US. Please watch this video, below, on how it is all connected...

Classes 2013
Level I 3 daysUnwinding the horse Releasing muscular-skeletal issues. Restoring proper form and function to the horse's motion.
Level II 3 days Applied Kinesiology Finding and releasing the blocks to 100% health, vitality and soundness.
Level III 2 days Cranial Decompression
Level III is by invitation only for Equine CranioSacral workers already in this profession, and who have taken levels 1 and 2.
April has developed unique new amazing techniques for manually lifting and decompressing cranial bones under compression from severe pull back trauma causing Uveitis, IR and Cushings symptoms. Start feeling the Occiput-Parietals under forelock on all the horses you are treating. You will notice the horses diagnosed with IR, Cushings and Uveitis all have one thing in comon, these bones have been compressed down into their skull, (thus compressing the organs beneath them) and are almost flat. Pulling these up allows the Hypothalamus and Pituatary to regain proper function. Treat the cause-not just the symptom.
Student will receive a certificate for passing each course.

As a coach and trainer, I have studied with some of the best in the world, from Europe to the US. April... is on a par in her level of "feel" and sensitivity to those who wear top hats and tails. ...more...
Side bone starts in most horses as early as the age of 3, when the body has not been loading the hoof correctly. This all starts from the 1st rib being out-see picture below. On my you tube channel you will see wound balm sweats to decrease sidebone calcifications which when left untreated (body not loading hoof correctly) can stress the bones higher up causing ringbone. It is easier and less expensive to use this preventative method than it is to treat a symptom.

1st rib being out does not allow the shoulder to move correctly.
On this skeleton you will see under the horses' right shoulder (left side in pic) there is no gap.
1st rib was out right side, this would make right lead uncomfortable. As well as making the left front leg work twice as hard, as you will notice by the left hoof, which has grown larger taking most of the weight of the horse. This would have stressed left tendon and suspensory. Also stress would have been thrown back to inside left hock as horses work a diagonal and right stifle-same side as the rib out.
When horses are unwilling to take a certain lead this has been the major cause, not that they are lazy, or don't want to, or have a weaker side.
Fix the rib issue and comofrt and ease returns to the horse. Along with a willingness to do what we ask of them.
Most mysterious lameness issues can always be traced back to a source and this has been 90% of the cause most of the time on all the horses I have worked on.
