Here is what folks have to say about these easy to use and VERY EFFECTIVE techniques-

excerpt from email from equine rescue facility

Hi Tracy,
"We are having GREAT results. I will be getting you some before and
after shots, soon! Sam's pelvic alignment is so much better and you
were exactly right that his skin hurt. He is now almost looking for
touch! This is a totally new development and we've waited 8 months for
it! He doesn't wince away when I touch his forehead and he will let
more than 1 person stand next to him without wanting to head for the
next county. Yesterday 2 people came up to watch what I was doing and
he actually sniffed them. Sounds small, but it is huge for Sam.

NEW IMAGING SERVICES to help your horse find "The Perfect Fit" Thermographic Imaging can show you how your saddle is engaging with your horse's back...
...
Your Grateful Horse has been researching saddles and saddle fit and has invented a unique "Custom Quick Saddle Fit" patent pending pad system to allow your horse to build strong and functional back muscle. By tracking our progress with thermographic imaging we can see how the pads interface with the horse's back- Rally is an Arabian Stallion with a very short back. Shown below are images of his back starting in August when he was first fitted with the pads. Later photo reveals the tremendous changes that occurred using the Custom Quick Saddle Fit (CQSF) system from August to November- (Rally's has been ridden in the same saddle for 3 years. The pads were fitted to his same saddle-)

This image shows Gid's back after using the CQSF pads for approximatel 2 1/2 months. This last image also shows how the pads are adapting to Gid's back and evenly distributing the pressure of the saddle along his back .

Hi Tracy,

I've tried the techniques on a few more horses now and seem to be getting good releases, and I did some work on my dog's hind leg which he wasnt using well and the muscles were starting to atrophy, and he would only turn one way by choice. the next day he is weight bearing much more, and has even more energy than usual, and was doing circles in the dircetion he never goes!

So thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

Kind Regards,
Jodie
