On June 10th, I silently stepped away for my first true vacation in 7 years. I pour absolutely everything into my work, my clients, my students, and supporting others. I finally realized that in order to continue my level of dedication, that I needed to take a moment to reset myself.

I am currently exploring Europe and running on a 9 hour time difference with intermittent Wi-Fi, so please expect possible delays in my responses. Every inquiry will be responded to, and everyone will receive the same level of assistance that I offer. If you don’t see a response to your emailed or online inquiry in your inbox, it might be found in your junk/spam folder depending on your account settings.

📩 For Course Inquiries & Instrument Sales:
Please email us directly at [email protected] for the fastest responses. I do have someone assisting me while I’m gone as well, and this includes any phone calls that are needing to be scheduled.

⭐️ To My Existing Students:
Your support doesn’t stop while I’m away, as I mentioned privately before I left. Remember to utilize our private Facebook group and the private ATS Student Portal on my website for community guidance and support, questions, resources, and updates. I will also be scheduling a live online session the week I return (after June 29th) to catch up and answer questions, and offer support face-to-face. Please see my last post in our private group for more helpful details.

Thank you all for your understanding while I recharge and reconnect. ❤️

Watching these dedicated students pour their hearts into learning the Animal Calibrated Acuscope/Myopulse Therapy System through our ATS Program has been nothing short of incredible. They headed home, and will begin to complete the final steps of their certification and prepare to bring a whole new level of equine care to their respective states and country.

Becoming an ATS Certified Therapist through Equinessence® isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting block. As an instructor, my job doesn’t end when the course does. True confidence takes ongoing support, which is why I’m committed to offering them continuous online and in-person mentorship long after their class ends.

For me, it’s all about the “ripple effect”. By training truly reputable, compliant, and competent professionals, we raise the benchmark for animal therapy. A higher standard of care means more animals get the authentic relief they deserve, and that is a ripple effect that changes our industry for the better.

Welcome to the ATS family, ladies! Your journey is just beginning, and I couldn’t be prouder to be in your corner.

They say you should surround yourself with people who “take you higher”. This means choosing a circle that inspires your growth, and challenges you to improve.

The month of May ended with me spending over 100 hours in person with 6 incredible women who are doing exactly that. They completed their ATS training with the Animal Calibrated Acuscope/Myopulse Therapy System, and will now prepare for their certification process.

We didn’t just discuss the technology and applications. We talked about vision. We talked about the brands they want to build, their ‘why,’ and the real difference they want to make for the equine industry, and with equine athletes.

To me, building clinical confidence and a supportive space to learn is just as important as the mechanics of the equipment. These ladies are leaving here ready to build successful, ethical practices, and I can’t wait to watch them set the benchmark in our industry!

• Mishelle Terry is from Ontario, Canada
• Jada Smith is from Illinois
• Taylor Taylor is from Cave Junction, Oregon
• Tracy Savage is from Cave Junction, Oregon
• Rylee Russell is from La Pine, Oregon
• Audrie Codding will be in Boise, Idaho (currently in Twin Falls)

12 weeks of weekly sessions, a final written exam, and approximately 70 hours of education with the Optimizing Equine Performance & Recovery Level 1 Online Course. Here is an insight to someone who completed this course and what she shared with others while being in my current ATS Acuscope/Myopulse Course. This program is structured to lead everyone to a higher level of success within their personal programs or professional practices whether your educational journey is just beginning, or if you’re searching for continuing education options.

✨ Congratulations to Audrie Codding (from Idaho) for officially completing this course, and the written exam. You did an amazing job, and I’m so proud of you! It was so nice to hand you this certificate in person and watch your response.

When you take this course, you don’t just get a certificate; you receive a comprehensive, master-level training manual packed with proprietary materials that deep dives into equine anatomy and biomechanics, equine athletic care and methodology, and 12 different topics and chapters of injuries, conditions, performance optimization, recovery, and rehabilitation that are covered.

The OEPR Program is open to everyone in the equine industry. I developed this program to make a positive impact through education, and truly enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone who takes this class.

Ruth Haislip was not only an accomplished and amazing competitor, she was a talented veterinarian, a devoted mother, a dedicated wife… and one of my dearest friends and mentors.

Ruth is the reason I began to rodeo and earned my WPRA card. I did so on one of my soulmates, Go Be Quick ("Quickie"), who happened to be Scarlett’s half-sister. Ruth taught me the process: how to fill my permit, enter rodeos, care for my horses at an elite level, how to understand the science of medications and regenerative procedures, all while giving me constructive feedback, and pushing me to be the best version of myself.

She was also the driving force behind my business as an ATS Certified Acuscope Therapist. She and her husband, Jim, traveled with their own set of equipment for Scarlett, and Ruth constantly encouraged me to dive into my own research to expand my bodywork practice.

I always thought of Ruth as my big sister. I respected her deeply, valued her wisdom, and will always cherish her friendship and how she supported me. Whenever I felt alone in this industry, she was always there for me, no matter how busy she was. I still think of her often and what advice she would give me today. Her memories usually come when I ride in the evenings when the world seems at peace.

Today, I love seeing and hearing stories about the horses she bred and took such pride in. Her sons have grown into successful professionals and genuinely good human beings, which is a true testament to the mother she was, and how she continues to be a part of them.

Ruth Haislip was a fierce competitor, having qualified for three National Finals Rodeos. She was compassionate about caring for all of her four-legged patients in her small animal veterinary practice, even though all who knew her can attest to her immense love of cats.

In 1969, she won the queen’s contest at the Arizona High School Finals Rodeo. She competed in college rodeo for one year while working on her undergraduate degree at the University of Arizona. At U of A, she was part of their 1973 National Championship Rodeo Team and won the Miss College Rodeo title. Haislip used her remaining years of eligibility while attending veterinary school at Colorado State University and was the Rocky Mountain Region Champion Barrel Racer in 1977.

Congratulations to our next group of ATS Certified Therapists! They are currently entering their exam process following their in-person training to complete their certification.

“The quiet steps that lead to an intentional practice”:

Most people see the result of an ATS Certified Therapist working with elite athletes. What they don’t see are the hundreds of micro-adjustments, the hours spent understanding technology and biofeedback, the book studies and practical applications, and the commitment to maintaining a supportive, judgment-free learning environment.

Intentionality means:
• Mastering the calibration before the treatment.
• Understanding the *why* behind every instrument setting.
• Committing to the highest legal and ethical standards from Day 1.

I don’t just teach you how to use an instrument; we help you build the confidence to offer a high level of care. The small steps are where the transformation happens. That is how we set the benchmark. This is a part of becoming an ATS Certified Therapist.

Congratulations to Hayden Upton Equine Services at the Breeders Invitational!

Hayden and Summa Upton host my Weatherford, Texas ATS Acuscope/Myopulse Certification Courses. I’m sharing this with their permission to show what can be done when professionals come together and provide a high level and standard of athletic care to our equine athletes. They have built an amazing program!

I hope my students experience the rewarding feeling of seeing their hard work benefit the horses they work with. This feeling never gets old, especially when you always have good intentions for providing the highest level of care that you can.

Come along for a glimpse into unboxing a brand new ATS Animal Calibrated Acuscope 80T!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to receive a new instrument order? This delivery is a perfect example of how we tailor our Animal Therapy Systems (ATS) packages to meet specific practice, program, and clinical needs. Investing in your business (whether it’s a personal training program, or building a professional practice) is not only a legitimate tax write-off, it’s a commitment to providing the best care possible for your program and animals. For me, this is a building block to provide the best care for my clients and my students.

What’s Inside?
This order included the ATS Animal Calibrated Electro-Acuscope 80T paired with our “Personal Use Package”. It’s designed for owners wanting to care for their own animals, however it’s a great way for me to stock up on essentials, including:
• A full case of Equisol conductive solution.
• Multiple sets of electrodes and cords.
• Several essential accessories from different probes to roller bars.
— Pro tip: The Professional Accessory Package for people entering our ATS Certification Program is even more extensive!

The ATS Advantage through Equinessence®:
I love being able to support my customers and students on their personal or professional journeys. That’s why ATS students not only have access to the exclusive “animal calibration”, but they also receive a $1,000 rebate from their tuition that’s applied toward the purchase of their new instruments (lowering the purchase price by $1000). Quality is also guaranteed with a one-year manufacturer warranty on all new instruments, and a 30-day warranty on all accessories.

Plus, each ATS order includes a special gift from Animal Therapy Systems to welcome you into our specialized program!

Every instrument in my collection is vital to the work I do. However, this one carries a deeper significance. It represents a milestone of continued growth and gratitude for the path that led here. Thank you to Animal Therapy Systems, and its owner Joyce Jackson for your unwavering support!
