DISTANT WHOLE HORSE CONSULTS are all-inclusive and focus on nutritional needs, alternative and complementary medicinal needs (homeopathics, herbs, oils, bodywork, distant energy work as well as from client in real time as instructed), behavioral assessment when indicated and husbandry attention. We ask our clients to complete a detailed intake form including photos, xrays (if available currently) and any veterinary assessment summaries. The intake is reviewed carefully and reply consult will include all solutions that are apropos to the individual with instructions as to application in detail. Client is requested to keep in contact with updates every couple or few days so changes can be made if the need is indicated. Hoof photos will be remarked upon with suggestions for the farrier or trimmer and subsequent photos are to be returned after trimming/hoofcare for a followup consult within 30 – 60 days.

REAL TIME CONSULTS for those in the Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties are available as well.

On farm and will travel.

GO HERE: https://www.youtube.com/user/PENZANCEEquine to see how I work with horses of varying issues and challenges.

PENZANCE’s ECBT^© is a method of teaching and working with horses (and their owners) using classical and operant conditioning that changes the way they think. Changing the way they think changes the way they behave.

Barring any pain issues, behaviors such as:

• Bucking
• Rearing
• Bolting
• Balking
• Jigging
• Biting
• Resistance
• Spooking
• “Disrespect” and other behavioral issues are eliminated with desired behaviors replacing them and embedded into the horse’s responsive thinking in a totally non-forceful and non-aggressive manner. Most of Gwen’s teaching is done in an ‘at liberty’ situation.

If there are pain issues then those are addressed and remediated before any therapeutic training is done.

PENZANCE’s ECBT^© teaches and trains horses using cognitive thinking exercises and skills to facilitate progress towards desired goals.

Works with the owner to maintain a high degree of collaboration and empathy with the horse.

“What people do not appreciate is that every time a horse submits to pressure, whether subtle or overt, he is diminished……..If he can be persuaded to give his assent freely and pleasurably rather than give into man’s pressure or clever techniques, he is not diminished.” –Frederic Pignon

PENZANCE BODYWORK

Using ** PENZANCE BODYWORKS^©, Nutrition & Diet, Homeopathy and Herbs plus assessing Husbandry practices, Gwen helps the horse rebalance his own body and mind to the pure, inherent state of health in which the horse is created. When a horse is healthy throughout MIND, BODY & SPIRIT then he can move & perform at his highest levels. Relieving muscles spasms, trigger points, transforming cellular messaging and affecting the structures of deep stress and pain brings the body back into a state of homeostasis (balance) that helps to maintain a constant internal environment even in the face of change.

Gwen also works with the horse’s owners
to teach them simple massages that will help keep the horse in perfect health as well as help prevent imbalances that can spoil the horse’s performance.

–Combination of Acupressure, Masterson Method (Neuromuscular Relase), Stretching/Flexing, Stress & Trigger Point Releases, ROMs, TTOUCH, Photonic Therapy, Electro & Energy Acupuncture, Quantum Touch, intuitive hands-on energy healing, Emotional/PTSD release as individual horse requires.
