[RC] Light therapy at endurance rides? - Kristi Schaaf

Hi all -
After my horses were used at our state horse fair this
weekend for the LED (light therapy) demo, I've become
fascinated with the therapeutic uses of light,
researched its uses, and I now plan to purchase a unit
for use on my horses (and myself). Because the cost is
astronomical for me, I'm also contemplating using it
on the side for clients to help recoup the cost. So,
I'm putting feelers out (not trying to get clients
just yet!). Hypothetically, would you be interested in
having your horse scanned and treated with light
therapy at a ride? I searched the ridecamp archives,
and there was a discussion about this back in 2000 or
so (Bioscan is probably the most commonly known brand
name for this technology - my unit will be similiar).
I realize that a horse can't legally be treated during
the competition, but I would offer the service before
or after the ride. Also, naysayers of light therapy,
please save your fingers and don't respond; I work in
a vet school so already know what many vets say about
this 'hoodoo voodoo' therapy, and I don't intend to
get into that debate. Kristi (in the Midwest region)

Life's a journey, so enjoy the ride (and try not to fall off)
