The promised short video!
Casper left home 3/1/20 and came home 5/21/26 after me tracking him for 400+ miles, Casper walked/ran that x 10!

I got the text... Threw everything together, hooked up the trailer and drove. Casper is home... Casper is home... Casper is home... Casper is home... I said the whole way there - 14 miles... I put the iPhone in my pocket after turning record on. Recording is bad - but just feel the moment. Do whatever it takes to keep him from running.
Get him haltered - get him home this time.

Any bad move could end success. I was confident but terrified nervous.
Clearly he was ready to come home - more sure of himself than anytime in the past! The storm the day before was brutal.

Update: apparently I posted this picture six days ago. It was a moment in time, like everything is with this tick paralysis thing.
It seems to affect the nervous system, and Auzzie’s situation, he will stand and stare, and eventually move very slow. His walk is stiff and sometimes it’s too wobbly. It’s affected his brain, neck and spine. I can feel the nerves bouncing under my hand on his neck, and it’s an uncomfortable feeling. That’s what I had with my neck damage. At the same time, his muscles feel too soft. But he’s not in pain, and he has not given up. When I take him outside, he’ll stand and he’ll watch me as I go feed the horses. I keep looking at him and waving and talking this connection means a lot.
So many times over the past long Spence of time I just kept thinking who can I call? and then my next thought was which tool can I use? What Healing modality is gonna fix this?
I think yesterday was the lowest point as well as the most determined.
First I syringe water in his mouth, then I used moxa, unsaturated his spine neck, top of his head with burning mugwort, and got his joint, etc. then I did a TBT session, then I did an acupuncture session focused on the paralysis chart, then I did another TBT session, and then I used my Alpha Stim. Auzzie slept for quite a while. And then he went outside, and he just lay down on the ground and looked around.
I didn’t know what I was gonna find this morning, but when I looked at him this morning, his head was up. He was up on his elbows. Normally, he is absolutely flat out and can’t move until I lift him up into a standing position. I got in position so I could lift up the handle and as I did that, he actually had some movement with his high legs. He then got up he walked outside, still holding his harness got him down the steps and there he was. I bet the horses Jesse wanted to go for a walk so I started walking to the end of the drive, and as I came back, he had walked a third of the way. So we walked back together up the steps and into the house. Of course he had to stop a few times.
All this to say, this is the best so far after such a long time.
Auzzie is 12, and very fit, but he did have some issues. Perhaps a perfect dog would not have the issues. Ozzie is having home. Life has been very stressful as well so stress could be a factor. The reason I share all of this is to inspire someone who’s going through the same thing.. Never give up if your pet isn’t in pain. The bonding process that happens when you both are trying to feed a body to stay alive is pretty cool.

Look who’s smiling! Today was slow but good- some connection, longer walks, more stable. He is on the mend…

Share my course with others! Free until May 10!

Happy Spring!

In honor of sharing joy in very difficult present times, we all need an uplifting diversion... here is a free Link to my Equine Partnered Bodywork course includes code to share with your friends, colleagues and study groups.

https://www.udemy.com/course/equine-partnered-bodywork-introduction/?couponCode=EPB_FREE_2025

This work is also helpful for dogs. Share, go out and work with your horse... find some solitude and joy with your Bestie!
Share with friends, Rescue facilities, Riding therapy facilities, young riders clubs, Horse Adoptions lists. The more we know, the better horses lives become.

"Equine Partnered Bodywork will introduce a light touch therapy technique we can do WITH our horse. Through practicing mindfulnessand presence, we observe interactions that create a meaningful connection with our horse. By applying a light touch to the neck of a horse, we will see and recognize different levels of response, by staying on the point or area, the horse will ‘process and release’ their own tension, be it physical, mental, emotional. We in turn will feel our stress level melt away into relaxation. This activity will increase the joy of riding and being with horses while putting us in a blissful state of being!

This course is presented in an ‘active learning’ format. Get involved when seeing, reading, listening, feeling and sensing. Imagine you are doing this work as you watch - the ability to remember and perform will be 10 times better! Having applied this inner work first, the difference when you actually go out to work with a horse, is astounding!

Our use of visualizing, hearing,and reading during the demonstration, creates retention of what we are doing and looking for with the horse. Horses tend to disconnect when we aren’t prepared and connected. Focus fully, when in front of the computer or phone - listen, read, take it all in, then go be with your horse. Learners who take this course come from all over the world, speak many languages, are all ages. The content as presented can be easily translated into many languages as well as the language of ‘energy’. Adjust the Udemy resolution to best and speed settings as needed for faster or slower delivery."

With so much love & gratitude,

A Functional Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Upstream of the Collagen Type III Gene Is Associated with Catastrophic Fracture Risk in Thoroughbred Horses.
Increasing our understanding of the genetic factors and biological processes involved in fracture risk may lead to novel methods to reduce risk in the future. Here, we established a cell-based system to measure the expression of candidate genes present in a fracture-associated region on ECA18 [9,11]. We demonstrated that one of the genes within this region, COL3A1, is differentially expressed in cells from horses at high and low genetic risk of fracture and identified a novel SNP upstream of COL3A1 that lies in a promoter region. The SNP may affect SOX11 binding, and we demonstrate that SOX11 modulates COL3A1 expression. As a complex disease, this SNP is likely to play only a small role in fracture risk, but the findings demonstrate the feasibility of using cell models to identify novel DNA variants and biological processes associated with equine diseases.

Fractures caused by bone overloading are a leading cause of euthanasia in Thoroughbred racehorses. The risk of fatal fracture has been shown to be influenced by both environmental and genetic factors but, to date, no specific genetic mechanisms underpinning fractures have been identified. In this st...
