This is for everyone in Southern California-----

Susan Evans and I would like to have Jim come out to So. Calif. and work
on our horses. Since he lives in Colorado it is not financially feasable
to have him come out here just for our horses. We would like to know if
anybody is interested in having Jim work on their horse as we are in the
beginning stage of trying to make this work. We would need to get a
minimum number of horses to make this work. Susan has offered her place
as a cental meeting place to bring the horses to, so that Jim can work
on them. His fee is $100. per session.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is some of the things that Jim can do:

1. Open superficial fascia, neck and back. Horse moves freer has more
energy.
2. Open the shoulder, neck and back. Horse has more reach. Shoulders
glide.
( there is a potential for saddles to not fit as the whithers come
up!!!).
3. Open the rear, neck and back. Pelvis is freer, loin coiling in
canter,
pistons in trot. Overreach is greater. ( we had to get the front end out
of
the way in 2 to accomodate the new reach.)
4. For performance. Open the head and neck in detail, balance the head
and
neck. The neck will arc over and the mouth will be more responsive.
5. Integrate. Work on any holdings that have surfaced.

Each session lasts 1 to 1.5 hrs. the horses get very relaxed and changes
are
harder to get after they're mentally cooked. I like to spend time with
the
owner explaining exactly what I am doing and anwering questions. It is
important that they understand what changed and how to support it. I
don't
want to create some mystery solution.
I usually see a horse once a week for the first three weeks and then
wait two
weeks between 3 and 4. I don't anticipate any problems seeing a horse
sooner
than this for the first three sessions, except that the owner won't have
time
to experience the changes and be really pumped for them. I have a money
back
guarentee for the first session here in Colorado, I've never had to
return
money in 4 years. I can't offer that in California.

I can also do what we call first aid work. Remove holding patterns from
specific injuries, ie. release shoulders, hamstrings, help sore backs
and etc. These are one shot deals.

If your interested please e-mail me direct: fourhorn@fia.net and we can
go over details privately.
(Susan, are you there? I didn't keep your e-mail address, so please get
in touch with me)
