🎖️Founder, David Schmidt’s goal was to help crew members—including Navy SEALs—stay alert for extended periods without relying on drugs or stimulants. That research led to the development of the original Energy Enhancer patch, which became the foundation for phototherapy technology.

🫯Now we have a variety of patches for:

𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬

🌱I make my own power packed superfood detox for the horses.

I do my best at supporting the
horse's natural detoxification process to help address toxin buildup from feed, water, and the environment.

The issue with the grass can be a concern so I make sure I am helping their liver, kidneys, lymphatics and gut to eliminate the harmful elements, including natural proteins and antioxidants.

👅I top it off with crushed peppermint leaves for a tasty treat and aid in digestion!

After a few days of intense rain and damp weather I couldn’t wait to get the horses back on the salt trailer.

Although I love seeing how the salt works within the sinuses and witnessing the physical drainage, I’m equally happy to see that my horses don’t have a significant buildup thanks to their frequent sessions.

I’m wearing the phototherapy pain relief patch designed for horses.

Best of all I didn’t have to take ibuprofen and wait 30 minutes for it to kick in.

I’m a Christian who didn’t wait until marriage.

I’m a Christian who has walked away from the church.

I’m a Christian who has struggled with anger, bitterness, and forgiveness.

I’m a Christian who has lied, lost her temper, said things she couldn’t take back, and hurt people she loves.

I’m a Christian who has put people, feelings, and worldly things before God.

I’m also a Christian who STILL battles sin.

I say this, because somewhere along the way, people got this idea that following Jesus means you suddenly become incapable of making a mess of things… and I hate to break it to you, but that’s not how sanctification works.

I didn’t come to Jesus because I had it all together. I came to Jesus because I was falling apart…

I have a past. Some of it isn’t pretty. Some of it I’m ashamed of. Some of it I wish I could go back and change.

Even after surrendering my life to Christ, I’ve had moments when my flesh was louder than my faith… but I’m not going to dress up my testimony to make Christianity look more appealing to people who think Christians should be perfect.

I’m not going to pretend I’ve never fallen just because somebody might use my failures to question my salvation.

Because my testimony isn’t that I’ve lived a sinless life… My testimony is that Jesus met me right in the middle of my sin and loved me enough not to leave me there.

But DO NOT confuse that with me making excuses for sin.

Grace isn’t permission to keep living however I please. Grace is the very reason I get back up, repent, and keep allowing God to change the parts of me that still don’t look like Him.

Some days that growth is beautiful… Other days it’s ugly, humbling, and downright uncomfortable… but it’s growth.

I’m still being pruned. Still being convicted. Still learning to die to myself daily.

I would much rather sit at the feet of Jesus, fully aware of how desperately I need Him, than stand on some imaginary pedestal looking down on everybody whose sin happens to look different than mine.

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙂𝙍𝙊𝙐𝙉𝘿 𝙄𝙎 𝙇𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙇 𝘼𝙏 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙁𝙊𝙊𝙏 𝙊𝙁 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘾𝙍𝙊𝙎𝙎.

You won’t find perfection in me. You’ll find a woman who has been forgiven much, who still gets things wrong, and who is eternally grateful that God’s mercy didn’t run out when she messed up again.

Jesus didn’t come because we were righteous enough to deserve Him… He came because we were sinners who desperately needed a Savior.

I still need Him.
Every. Single. Day.

Not perfect, just forgiven. †

🦷 Once a year we have these ladies come down from the front range to balance our horse’s teeth.

▪️Neuromuscular horse dentistry, also known as Natural Balance Dentistry, is dedicated to realigning the jaw to achieve optimal neuromuscular, proprioceptive and physical function in a horse’s whole body. Starting with the incisors, it provides guidance and stability to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), followed by adjustments to the molar table surface to provide anatomically correct inclination. By adjusting the inclination of a horse's dentition, the horse gains a complete and natural movement of its jaw. This balances the TMJ and maximizes surface-to-surface contact between teeth, allowing the horse to maintain or regain its full, natural bodily function.

▪️Each tooth is connected to acupuncture meridians that correspond to various organs, muscles, joints, vertebral segments, and sensory systems. Balancing the incisors, molars, and TMJ is intended to support the horse’s overall comfort, posture, and functional balance. This approach may help support digestive health, musculoskeletal comfort, performance, and postural alignment.

▪️Practitioners often work with the horse's head in a natural, lowered position allowing the jaw and neck to move freely.

▪️Practitioners use precise manual hand tools aiming to preserve natural tooth texture and correct angles.

▪️The hand is in the mouth guiding the instrument to the precise spot that needs to be adjusted. This also allows to leave as much clinical crown and table surface on the molars as possible. The natural angles of the molars are intact and maintained by the use of hand instruments.

🌿We’re so grateful for our balanced equine dentist and hoof practitioner for helping keep our horses’ bodies as close to their natural state as possible!
