Paso Fino Breeders


an incredibly passionate and dynamic group of equine enthu- siasts eager to begin learning the Equi-Bow Foundation tech- niques. Student backgrounds and ages varied and interests ranged from providing comfort for their own horses through professional competitors want- ing to increase their horses’ potential naturally while recog- nizing & addressing the under- lying causes of symptoms and issues. Students had new insights


Paso Fino Associations


into their hidden natural talents and are now empowered with a new ability to use the gentle, effective Equi-Bow skills to reach and help horses. We’d like to thank our teaching assis- tants Holly Barnett, Patty Duffield, Linda Agnew and Linzi Sally for their inspiration! Comments from the stu-


dents include: ‘wonderful ener- gy in the classroom’; ‘appreci- ate how instructors generated confidence and support in the students’; ‘learning space is so positive and beneficial’; ‘very organized and easy to follow’; ‘instructors and assistants very


helpful’ ‘demos, PowerPoint, diagrams, anatomy, pictures make the content clear’; ’the interactive learning environ- ment made learning easy’; ‘loved the hands on learning with instructors and assistants right there to help’ We are excited to teach a


clear & concise technique which helps the horse commu- nity to recognize subtleties of tension and discomfort in hors- es so that those issues can be addressed long before they show up as lameness, colic, ulcers, behaviour problems and more. Our goal is to help horses be as comfortable as they can be, prevent potential injuries and ailments, and support the horse to perform his best. Equi- Bow is a wonderful technique for owners, trainers, riders and competitors. Whether you are looking simply to have your horse be as comfortable as pos- sible, looking for an advantage in competition, or wanting to start a new career, we invite you to join us!
