I know someone named Gail Ivey---wonder if it's the same person? She lives near San Jose, California, trains horses via "natural horsemanship" techniques, and does some massage therapy stuff (not sure of the term she uses) for horses. I didn't know that she did clinics, especially as far afield as Belgium, tho.... I've not seen Gail train, but have had her out to my place, to "massage" the donkey and the Fjords. Sleepy had a long-standing minor unevenness in the way he was moving, which the vet hadn't been able to see, let alone locate. Gail traced it to a muscle spasm under/behind the point-of-shoulder joint and "released" it, which fixed his unevenness! (Best guess is that he strained it one of the times he was "playing" in the mud---stepped on the heel of his front shoe with a hind hoof, then tried to lift that "nailed down" front hoof at a canter, then scrambled to keep from falling down.) Marsha Jo Hannah Murphy must have been a horseman-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] anything that can go wrong, will! 30 mi SSE of San Francisco, Calif. -------
