High Tech Horses Feeling Better With...Lasers!

Alright I know what you're thinking, what do lasers and horses have in common and why would I want one by my horses?! Well fear not, they are a lot safer than you think and have many beneficial uses for healing and helping your equine athlete perform at their peak! There are many laser systems out there to use, rent, and purchase but the prices vary greatly and not everyone has the need or availability and that's where we step in. We here at Han-Ney Equestrian Center use the Respond Laser System which is one of the best systems on the market and has many versatile uses.

Although there are a few different names out there, LASER therapy stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Want me to speak English now? In simple terms, it just means there is a big, intense, highly focused beam of light that penetrate tissue and help promote healing and strengthening in many areas. We use a class B laser on horses here at the center because it is the safest for both human and animal and seems to work the best for our needs. The results have been astounding and horses that came in dead lame walked out the door sound!

You know how the only thing you can seem to remember from high school is "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" but even though you can rattle that off faster then your cell phone number, do you know what it means? When light from the laser enters the cell's mitochondria, it is absorbed and increases activity and ATP, ROS, and NO are affected to promote healing and cell regeneration. This may seem like scary, complicated stuff but in all reality it is a great tool for those horses suffering from a multitude of ailments. These can range from pain, inflammation, wounds, big scars, feet problems, and more. The possibilities are endless and treatment is non invasive on both your horse and pocketbook!

Boobs and Barrels

If you have been following us on our Twitter page, you will see we have been trying to put together a jackpot barrel race for the end of the year, but we wanted it to benefit someone. With the recent breast cancer diagnosis's of a few fellow barrel racers, we couldn't think of a better organization to raise money for, and during Breast Cancer Awareness Month! We have picked a date to have the jackpot and we couldn't be more excited to support such a great cause!

There is going to be a 70% payback for the jackpot, and the rest will benefit local breast cancer charities to help those affected with this terrible disease. We will be accepting donations and are putting together a silent auction, and this information will be available on our Facebook page once it becomes available. If you would like to help sponsor this event or have your business banner on an arena wall, please send me an email at hannahcvtc27@gmail.com and I will send you a form!

We will be having the race at the Han-Ney Equestrian Center indoor arena in River Falls Wisconsin on Friday, October 28 2016, and the office will open at 5:00 pm. You are more than welcome to camp overnight and use our stalls for a $55 fee for the weekend. Attached is the flyer with information on the jackpot, address and phone number, and entry fees.

See you there!

Barrel Racers with a Day Off!?

You read that right, we here at Han-Ney Equestrian Center had a day off to relax without stalls to clean, horses to exercise, or fence to fix! A few days ago, we had the honor of having some local guys and gals over to see the facility and ride a few horses and learn what we were all about, and when we found out one of them owned a record shop we just had to check it out! We had the opportunity to spend a few hours at B Side Records and Concerts where they offer vinyl music and live shows and they were nothing but inviting and knowledgeable. Don't worry, we put on our clean boots before heading to town.

I'll be honest, my friends and I have pretty much 0 experience when it comes to records or anything related, aside from what we had seen on television and I have to say, I was a little leery. We ended up having a blast though! I have to say, Vinyl sounds so much better than an iPod or radio and I had no idea they still put today's tunes on records! Mind=blown.

Here's the fun part folks, next Saturday, October 22 after the jackpot barrel race we are going to have live music that B Side hooked us up with! So this means if you want to stay the night in your trailer, you are welcome to do so and the show will be FREE! Alcohol is BYOB for those of age and we're expecting a big turnout, so please park appropriately. We can't wait to see you there and we hope you enjoy the show! We are not sure who the band will be, that will be a surprise, but we do know it will be country western and a few rock and roll tunes.

B Side Records is not too far away and you can also check them out at http://b-siderecords.blogspot.com/ and tell them Han-Ney Equestrian Center sent you.
