Dear Kelly & Kit ~
I have been waiting to send this to you because I just wanted to make sure it was not just a “by-chance”. The experience I had at your clinic in Centerville, Ia this fall has made such a major difference I just can’t hardly explain.
My sweet boy, Ace, had been battling body soreness all season. He could run but just not turn. However, after getting new shoes and attending your clinic ~~WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! I guess the planets have lined up in our favor!!!
The weekend following your clinic we went to a rodeo and 2 jackpots. In those three days I won enough money to pay for my clinic and then some. So I purchased a torch. He ran the fastest time he ever has in that barn. In the weeks following that, I won enough money to pay for that. Having the tools you showed me has given me the confidence to check and know if my horse is ready to roll ~ and roll he does!!!! His whole attitude is wonderful. He is ready to run and work and I have so much more confidence too.
I just can’t say “Thank You” enough for sharing your knowledge with me to help him and the rest of our horses.
I look forward to seeing you both again.

All our best ~~~

My Rocky Mountain mare that you worked on in Big Rapids is doing so very much better! She’s even gaiting again! I will keep an eye on your schedule because I feel it was a small price to pay to make my girl feel good again. Thank you so very much!

Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to OK City for the Shoot-out on Aug 13-16 and then on to the Mega Barrel Race in Jackson MS the following weekend. Hope to see you both there.

Thank you so much for sticking with Gandy on your visit to NC! I haven’t ridden him yet just lunged him. He seems to track straighter and a little more freer a the walk, but the biggest difference to me watching him on the ground was how he trotted. He really stretched his head and neck down and out when I asked him to move more forward. He hasn’t done that in a long time. The canter was not as great, but he didn’t look stiff and choppy. He seemed a little more relaxed about strides and transitioned without the usual choppy stride. I look forward to riding him to see how he is under saddle. Also – Whenever I sprayed Gandy with fly spray or light water hose even, on his right side (which if I remember correctly was the worst), his back and body just caved in. The past couple of days he hasn’t been doing that, so I bet the muscles and everything around the ribs had really been that hypersensitive. What a difference!

Thank you again for sticking with him. I know he was a handful. Sincerely,
Shawn Atkins and Gandy
of North Carolina 🙂 

Hi Kit, you worked on my horse for the first time on your last visit to Southern Pines. (to jog your memory… I had the wasps in the stall and the horse got stung…his main prob. was ribs out of place) ).

Well, when I was clearing a bunch of stuff out of my cell phone the other day I came across a draft of a message I thought I sent you weeks ago about how my horse did after your visit. So now I don’t think you ever heard from me!! SORRY!!

I saw minor differences in my horse in the days immediately after your visit mostly in his willingness to canter and improved fluidity and swing in that gait. However, now that more time has passed and he’s gaining confidence in how he feels, the improvements in all aspects of his life are amazing! Two weeks ago was the first time I have EVER seen him run and buck in the field!! usually just stands still while the others are hard at it!!

I was looking at your traveling schedule and did not see a return trip to So. Pines on there so please let me know when you are returning as i would love for you to have another look at my horse. May also have one or two more depending on timing and $$!!

Thank you so much! Susan and Albert Earl

My Rocky Mountain mare that you worked on in Big Rapids is doing so very much better! She’s even gaiting again! I will keep an eye on your schedule because I feel it was a small price to pay to make my girl feel good again. Thank you so very much!

** WOW **

It’s been two weeks tomorrow since you worked on my pony. What an amazing difference. She has been getting chiropracted for four years, and we’ve still been having difficulties. Some major changes are that I no longer have to drag her to the mounting block; she goes willingly. She no longer walks off as I mount. She sits and waits for instruction. She no longer blows up her belly when I tack her up, and she’s not nearly as girthy as she always was. Under saddle, I could never get her to round her back. Now, as we pull away from the mounting block, her head is down, her back rounded. Really rounded. She’s still a bit cranky in the upward transition to trot, but after a short bit she realized she doesn’t hurt! She’s had a chronic “bob” trotting to the left. It’s now completely gone. Her personality is coming out, and she’s one happy little girl! I can’t wait for you to come back to Ohio. Thank you so much.

Hello from Iowa !!

I’ve been meaning to thank you two again for the great clinic at Dittmer’s Stables. I had the tall black mare (with several rib & shoulder issues) & a sorrel w/ white mare. I can’t explain how happy I am with what I’ve learned and what I’m teaching my husband and children. The black mare, Ebony, has been a great horse for my kids, but we treated her with kid gloves. It almost seamed if we looked at her wrong she was either lame or sore in one way or another. She is now moving better than ever & gaining mass in her hind quarters again.

The day after the clinic my arms, shoulders and back were sore but after work, I headed out to the pasture find my next victim. J

I watched your video this weekend & it mentioned a saddle fitting video. Do you have a video or a guide of some type? I think one of our saddles is the culprit. While you were talking about saddle fitting and some of the stretching, I was getting our truck and trailer out of the mud. Any info would be appreciated. We’re looking for a different saddle right now.

Again, thank you & hope to see you the next time you’re up here. Hopefully the weather will be better.

Take care,

Teresa Arrowood

** THANK YOU **

Hello Kelli,
Both horses you worked on are walking relaxed and standing with front legs even.

The spotted one “Major” who had the front leg problem, and muscle pull between the front legs,…now walks relaxed and forward nice and smooth. He wanted to walk alot after you left. His shoulder was free. He’s cantoring evenly and relaxed (rocking horse cantor, that the Tenn. Walkers can do). This horse visually showed the most improvement to us .

Mardi, the Bay seems much more relaxed, very little tail swishing except for the spring small flies.
He too seems released in the shoulders and when he stands , his front two legs are even with one another.
After you left I observed him stretching his front chest and neck up 3 times in the day.
It was a stretch like the new born’s do when they finally stand up for the first time.

Thank you for coming and offering your wonderful services. I will keep your number for any future services.
However, if your up in Flagstaff this summer, please call me, I will likely have you come out for some tune ups .

Liz and Dwayne

** WORKED MIRACLES **
We are all doing well. The mules are great-I have to say that I didn’t notice any difference for Maddie-the black mule of mine but Pepper is performing better than ever. She has lots more enthusiasm when I ride her and although was never unwilling seems happier and more willing to go and do. Connie reports that Flip is moving great and is more relaxed and happier. She said he often was quite grumpy but he isn’t anymore. I think our session with you worked miracles. It was also great to talk with you and Kenny. It is nice to be able to relate so well. It sure is apparent that you both really appreciate and have great respect for these animals. Connie and I have talked about letting you know how much we appreciated our time with you, sorry that I am such a procrastinator about getting it done. Hope you and Kit are doing great-enjoy this great weather before the heat really hits. Talk with you soon and thanks again,

Janet

All the difference in a ride…
Thank you so much Kit and Kellie for helping make the past couple years in the arena wonderful. It has been a blessing to have you guys come out and work on Bruiser before the shows! You make all the difference in our rides, and you have helped Bruiser achieve new levels in his movement. I had never dreamed that we would have gone as far as we have, thanks for making that all possible! Thanks you helping him be such a happy and comfortable horse so that we can continue to work together as a team.

My little horse qualified for finals in both the IRCA and the IRA this year and has ended up Reserve Champ in the IRA. He is a lot calmer going in the gate (not flat on his feet, but not having a fit either). I thank you guys for the opportunity to learn how to help keep him feeling good and I look forward to seeing you again in the Spring at Dittmer’s. I’m anxious to get your DVD as well.

Thanks Kit & Kelli!

I attended an owner information clinic with Kit & Kelli in Minnesota in April 2008.
I brought my 11 year old gelding, Rein, who had been off for 3 full years with a soft tissue hock injury. He was healed & ready but it would take months to build him back up to his “pre-injury” fitness level. He competed the full season getting faster & stronger all the way to December. He won several buckles & awards on the state level including being voted the United Barrel Racing Assn “Horse of the Year”! I know that the body balancing methods that I learned at the clinic helped me keep him in top form throughout the season.
Thank you!

** In a word: AMAZING **

I have ridden Sophie twice since her adjustment.She is straighter, moving more fluidly and more responsive to my leg aids. Don’t get me wrong…the riding process still involves work but everything is much easier and her response is more noticeable. No pulling while lungeing to the right and no pushing me left while leading her. My right wrist is not in such pain either. I am SO glad that I was able to have her treated this time. I always knew that she was crooked but had no idea how much until he fixed it.

Sophie and I both send our sincerest gratitude. We look forward to the next treatment in January!!

**KIT IS THE BEST AROUND!!**

Kit, You’ve worked on our horses at Lexington, VA. When you are the local barns in PA in May… how close to NY state will you be? Is there any time you’ll be anywhere near us? I don’t want to wait until Aug to get our horses worked on… and YOU are the only person I have faith in when it comes to working on our horses! Thanks so much!

After meeting Kit and Kelli at the NBHA worlds, the non-believers believe!! Our horses had never been evaluated and they were in need, that’s for sure. They ran better and seemed calmer and happier. Not only that, but Kit and Kelli are great to work with and generous in sharing their knowledge. Looking forward to seeing you in the Spring!

Kel has now worked on two of my horses and could not have been more pleased! I was once a skeptic of such practices but have since been re-born a BELIEVER! Thank you Kel for your awesome work!!! Traci Pratt of Axtell, Texas

Just wanted to say hello and thank you. We were in Edinburg, Indiana a couple of years ago at a state show and you worked on my daughters horse. It was the best thing that we ever had done for the horse and would love to have you work on her again.
We have moved back to Texas, we are actually in the Houston and Galveston area and would like to know if you will be coming to our area or if you know anyone in this area that you would recommend. Well, I hope to hear from you soon and once again thanks.
Sincerely,

After I saw my daughter’s horse bucking and acting stupid– I had Animal
Krackers check out the horse. There was a rib on the horse that was out of
wack. My daughter went on to run her first 16 second run right after Animal
Krackers fixed her . Thanks SO much!!

**2008 SPRING CLINIC**

“I learned a lot about my horse’s anatomy. I can see an immediate change in his disposition. My horse has seemed happier in and out of the saddle. He’s a lot more relaxed when ridden”

Kelly Cagle and her horse Tim

**WOW**

“After a time with injuries, my 26-year-old thoroughbred started exhibiting some behavior changes, stiffness, and soreness. Just one session with Kit and Kelly and his demeanor seemed to soften. Instead of barely moving, he immediately had improvement to his movement and was stepping up. I am thrilled to have my horse back. Thank you! An awesome change and a better experience than expected.”

Tanya had her horse Rocket worked on April 2008

**THANK YOU**

I just wanted to take a minute to write and let you know how much I learned
in your clinic. Kit was SO patient with all of us and took extra steps to
make sure we all understood everything. We had no idea our horses were
hurting THAT bad. After 1 session, our we took our mare to Guthrie and she
ran remarkably better. I recommend that everyone take this clinic if you
get an opportunity to do so.

**TALMO & MONA**

Hi Kit!!

I wanted to give you an update on Talmo and Mona, my two horses that
were balance at Jennifer Erwin’s farm in Yemassee! Well, Mona, the
sorrel Quarter horse, is sound! She is actually trotting and loping in
the field by herself and really driving her back legs underneath her!
Talmo, my high spirited Thoroughbred, has lost the pinched look in his
back and is started to round out nicely. His movements are so much
sweepier, if there is such a word! I am so happy with the results with
just one treatment and cant’ wait for you to come back around again!

Take care,

Karen Lyons

**2008 SPRING CLINIC**

“This clinic surpassed my expectations! Not only did we learn how to detect soreness, learned the cause, the physics, and the cure. Kelly and Kit explained the procedures in layman terms, monitoring our work, ensuring we did it correctly. Thank you Vicki and Scott”

Mary Gregory and her horse Val “Deva”

**AWESOME**

“My mare is now 17. She is a standardbred and has been stiff, especially to the right since I purchased her at 9. Since she is now my main lesson horse and because I heard such great things about Kit and Kel I decided to have them look at her. They found she was off in the shoulder and went about fixing it. She immediately went better. Even my students said she felt smoother than before. I was very impressed and I am ever the skeptic, but I will have them check her again next time they come!”
