As a veterinarian, I can truly appreciate Lindsay’s knowledge and background! It was refreshing to have her assess my horse, Handy, when he was having major musculoskeletal issues. She was able to determine his problem areas without me saying a thing. He was very receptive and calm while she was evaluating and treating him. I am so grateful to have my horse back and feeling himself. I look forward to working with Lindsay more in the future!!
