April specializes in helping your horse feel his best while offering you the most in your equine/human partnership. She also spends time with the horse owner explaining the details often left out of other professional appointments. So if you are wondering why your horses front hooves are not matching; high/low syndrome, flares, contracted heels she will explain how the body loads the hoof is how the hoof is going to grow, to correct the hooves you need to correct the body (April teaches clinics about this as well). She will answer questions about why your horse's poll is out, which will give you a bracey or seemingly argumentative horse avoiding contact with the bit and getting heavy on the front end. Girthy/cinchy horse or bucking at the canter indicates pain; ribs and withers are out of balance. Cross firing at the canter hips are out and hocks/stifles are sore from compensating. Roach back or hunters bump issues are not conformation (not correctable), that is posture (correctable) from Psoas (lower back area) in spasm not allowing hips to move freely. When the horse pulls first rib out, either pulling a front shoe with the hind or running across a field and hits a gopher hole or mud bog, this makes canter on that side uncomfortable for your horse as well as pulling withers out, dropping ribs on that side (does your saddle tilt to one side?) and stressing Psoas area and pulling hips out of alignment, all compensations from the 1st rib not being where it should be, not allowing that side scapula to move freely.
Here is a self diagnostic tool-April's FREE yoga for horses is a 'diagnostic tool'; if your horse cannot easily do these simple moves then there are deeper issues which are causing pre mature arthritic changes in your horse shortening their usable riding years. Your horse should be healthy sound and rideable thru their 30's.

If you do find that your horse cannot easily do these moves then call or email her for a free consultation. She brings a broad spectrum of education, experience, wisdom, intuition, and expertise with her when she comes to your pasture or barn. Don't live close by? No problem April does Equine Distance Communicating, she calls them 'Readings" which will dial down on your horses specific issues and then the DVDs walk you thru how to work on your horse yourself (see store page)

April has studied many different healing modalities for horses over the past 10 years (see about April page). And continues to do so. 2012 April will be working on horses and riders, as the rider with a sore back/pelvic issues will transfer that to the horse as well as a horse in pain will transfer that to the rider. Free evaluations for your dog as well.

If you have questions about whether your saddle is comfortable for your horse, April can offer you expert consultation. As a expert on equine nutrition, she knows about which supplements would meet your equine's needs. April is a wealth of knowledge so call her and learn more about your special equine friend as well as all of the many things that can enhance or hinder physical, mental and emotional balance in your horse.

A resident of Newcastle, California, April services Northern California and travels frequently to various cities and states to teach Clinics and 3 day Workshops see her 'Schedule'.
Contact April to find out more or to get information about how she can help your horse be his very best. April always offers a FREE evaluation.
