"Hi Rebecca,
Panda is doing remarkable well. The suspension is back in her gait, she is not paddling, and Katie reports that she hasn't been
stiff in the hips. Katie has been very diligent about doing Panda's stretches and Panda is very good for her. I do not feel the
lumps on her neck any more. Katie says she is "much more solid now".
I have to tell you that this is the most remarkable response that I've ever seen in a horse to any type of treatment! Well done and
thank you!"

"Rebecca:
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping my horse, Justin. He sustained an acute injury to his left hind limb following a
sliding stop into a gate while in the paddock on January 6th, 2006. He was diagnosed by New Bolton Center via an ultrasound
and full body nuclear scintigraphy with a pulled semimembranosus and semitendinosus (hamstring muscles) and an avulsion
fracture of the ventral aspect of the left tuber ischii. Justin was treated by New Bolton for 8-1/2 months to monitor the hematoma
and avulsion fracture as they healed. He continued to experience fluid around his biceps femoris muscles and remained tender
and weak in his hind end. As I was instructed to increase his flat work it seemed as though he became weaker and weaker. I was
also unable to maintain his weight and he had developed a scruff type skin rash along the semimembranosus and
semintendinosus muscles on his left hind. At this point I realized that he had other injuries and areas of his hind end that needed
attention.
Once Justin was released from New Bolton Center, I had him evaluated by Dr. Roger Scullin. He diagnosed the scruff type skin
rash to be caused by a pinch nerve. He was also concerned that so much fluid remained along the bicep femoris area as well as
his drop in weight and muscle tone with the increased work. At the time of Dr. Scullin's initial evaluation, Justin was lame in 3 out
of 4 limbs. It was at Dr. Scullin’s recommendation that I call you for acupuncture treatments.
I noticed a remarkable difference after the first treatment. It was obvious that he was in much less pain. Once the nerve was
released, the fluid and swelling began to dissipate, he began gaining a few pounds and the scruff type skin rash began to clear up
on it’s own. The weekly treatments that followed also proved to relieve Justin’s pain and discomfort. He became sounder and
sounder with each treatment.
Ten months later Justin is well on his way to being completely healed. I am currently flatting Justin in full work as well as jumping 2’
6” cross rails to continue to stretch out the muscles that he held so tight for 8-1/2 months. I truly appreciate the time and care that
you gave him during his treatments. It was obvious that your main concern was helping Justin feel as good as he can, as quickly
as he can.
Thank you,
Sherry C."

"Rebecca has been helping me with my gelding, Felix, since 2004. At the time she was
could make him feel any better. Now he struggles with allergies and muscle tension, and
Rebecca is still the one who brings him the most relief. She is without a doubt one of his
favorite people! What I value the most is that Rebecca is always willing to help me find
new solutions to solving Felix’s problems. Rebecca has been key in helping Felix
recognize his potential as a dressage horse. I know we would not be where we are today
without her and we are both grateful!"

"Rebecca's work is excellent. The time she
spends on each horse is phenomenal and unlike
other acupuncturists. She doesn't just stick them
and walk away. She is very in tune with the
horse and we have had great results with her
work. The key is to let her do it correctly by
having her out multiple times to work on a horse
and not to think of acupuncture as a one time
thing. If you let her do her thing, it works."

"Rebecca has been treating my horse
for 6 years and I can't emphasize
enough the role she has played in
keeping Hootie physically and
emotionally healthy throughout his
competitive career. I have seen first
hand the benefits that regular
acupuncture treatment has had on my
horse and I would highly recommend
her services to anyone looking to
invest in the health of their horse."
