I got called out to BioScan a group of horses at a local boarding facility. One of the horses was an elderly warmblood mare who had obviously had a hard life. After many years as a jumper and producing multiple babies her spine was torqued and her rear pasterns were almost touching the ground. Her owner simply wanted to offer her a “spa day” along with the other horses. (more…)

Sunday, April 20th, 2008
My first introduction to BioScan products was in 1996 when I purchased an Arabian gelding named Sport. Sport was 8 years old and while I had a vet check I did not spring for x-rays or ultra-sounds. At this time I was riding with a group of beginning endurance riders led by one very experienced rider. We were riding 20 to 40 miles each week. Sport was having difficulties with stocking up and showed mild tendonitis but seemed to work out of it as he became more fit.
In the fall we attempted our first 25 mile endurance race. Coming in to the first vet check Sport ( who had been very strong up and over a large hill) began to limp. He had lost a rear shoe and was knotted up in the right hindquarter. We pulled him from the race and proceeded to massage out the knots and get him reshod. But by the next day it was clear that he had bowed both front tendons. My vet was out of town for three days so another vet looked at him and pronounced him “dog food” bound. I was devastated.

Most Valuable Tool in the Tool Kit
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008In my opinion, my BioFind is the most valuable tool that I have for identifying and locating problems. I have lots of treatment modalities that I can reach for: Reiki, Acupressure, Massage, Photopuncture (BioScan), etc. But you have to know where to treat! With the BioFind, even the most novice horse owner can locate blocked areas without having to know anatomy, acupuncture meridians or even how to see movement imbalances.
For more advanced users, the points that we locate (outside of trauma areas) are almost always acupuncture points that can be charted and used with uncanny accuracy to assist with diagnoses.
If you are new to using a BioFind, take the time to learn how identify which points are alerting most strongly and keep track of which points are showing up. You will begin to notice trends in which points show up for which problems.
