She holds the side of the halter the whole time with one hand, so at that angle, horses can only really nip to the side, the bracelet blocks them from pinching or tearing skin. Obviously if a horse was able to get a full mouth chunk, the bracelet would not be much help.

I’d think a good chomp on one of those cuffs/bracelets would do significant damage as they bend into and cut the skin.

We can only hope that some horse is quick enough and full enough of its own importance and its ability to communicate and has a well-developed sense of self-preservation to escalate that communication when it’s normal “speaking voice” is not heard to teach her a lesson. A well-deserved lesson.
Pardon the run-up sentence. Summary - she needs to be bitten HARD and the sooner the better.
All that said, she’d probably spin it in a way to not only garner sympathy, but cold hard cash as well. “My loves, I am at home on my fainting couch, surrounded in my favourite flowers, with a shattered wrist due to trying to help a horse that was so badly broken by its <insert owner, vet, bad riding, bad saddle fit, etc.> that it was unable to accept my help and healing.” I wonder if there would be pictures of her compound fracture surrounded by flowers? How subtle would the call for cash dollars be? The Bingo card is gonna need another row … BINGOT.

I had a client years and years ago whom found some woo woo guru online and ventured hours away so he could solve her horses problems. Turns out her horse put the clinician in the hospital. Dude deserved it.

Right? I had the same thought when she told me she wears them to prevent getting bruises and bites. Seems risky.
And as someone working with their hands, it seems like having something so tight and unforgiving would be counterintuitive… when considering protecting one’s arms and hands for the purpose of longevity within a bodywork profession.

I believe she already has been bitten hard, unless that was fabricated?
She told a story on the first Live video in the Masterclass group about a stallion picking her up by the shoulder and shaking her like a ragdoll, and when he dropped her, she went back in for more, and he did it again. Or something along those lines.
This apparently was her big awakening that encouraged her to change her ways away from traditional training towards woo…
This was the story she used to explain the damage to her own shoulder that caused nerve impingements. Structural Integration apparently helped her with that, and that experience is what she claims to have inspired her to bring human nerve release work to horses.
But, nerve release isn’t really a human bodywork modality that I know of, I very well could be wrong.
Hindsight, knowing the type of sales pitches MLMs tend to use, the shoe fits.

I think the pony club police would really spank her for those bangles.
I think any smart horseman would not wrap stuff like that around body parts during in hand work unless they really wanted to lose an arm.
Its just dumb. There is your credentials right there.
What is the deal with always showing they are rolling as a release?

Good point!!
I don’t even wear my wedding ring around the horses. Maybe it’s overkill, but I when I was younger, I met an old horseman who lost his finger when his wedding ring got snagged somehow while handling a fractious colt, that left an imprint.

Wait…
She actually tells people the bracelets protect her from being bit???
I LOVE jewelry. I do wear two small cuffs that I never take off. But I also own multiple large cuffs like pictured. There is no way I would wear the large pieces as body armor. A horse bite would A. Ruin them B. Possibly render them unremovable without metal shears C. Offer minimal protection anyway due to the malleability of sterling as well as position of cuffs during wear
Gauntlets. Sounds like she needs gauntlets.

If I was worried about being bit, I’d wear a heavy coat, gloves and a helmet, not jewelry! But that wouldn’t make for a very IG photo, would it. I never wear jewelry around horses or equipment, and I keep my hair pulled back as well. Also never wear flowing gowns to ride – or ever at all!

I guess the assumption is that the horse could never manage to bite anywhere but on the metal covered wrist. AS IF. Honestly, IDC if someone wants to dress up to have their photo taken with their horses – go for it! Wear jewelry, flowing gowns, a tiara if you want to! Post those pictures on SM and entertain the masses. But ask 35 people to fork over $3000-$5000 and fail to provide solid evidence of credentials (just for starters) and you change the game from posting pretty pictures to something else that includes ethics, legal issues, and professionalism. Her “class” is apparently full and she is vetting the applicants. Truly hope that no horse or human gets hurt. Wasted money is not important in the big scheme of things, but injuries are.

I disagree. Sounds like she needs to step the hell back from poking and prodding horses because she doesn’t have a sweet clue.

EXACTLY THIS. Have to wonder if she’s really getting those violent reactions or if it’s just part of the marketing myth-making narrative. Or both.

Well of course!
The gauntlets was a jab at her needing bracelets at all

To me, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that she is hurting horses and has no clue and is somehow able to convince people that her hurting horses is an acceptable process to “healing.”
Even if her WhateverTF she wants to call it is a “thing” it is completely unethical to induce pain in an animal in the name of therapy without proper anesthetic and/or sedation.

I think it is both.
As to the biting. She will stop and come up with another new cover story when her reflexes aren’t as quick as they used to be.

Pretty sure that will be her next gig…offering pain meds illegally or a some sort of woo pain relief.

The bracelets are her Magickal IG Wonder Woman Warrior Zen Lover bracelets. The gauntlets would be for the odd horse that doesn’t succumb to the magickal forcefield of the bracelets. I think I’ve got that right?
Seriously, what a complete toolbox full of rusty, left-handed kindergarten scissors.

and with that, you need the supervision of a veterinarian! and training! i haven’t seen anything in her “credentials” to indicate she is able to administer medicines or sedatives…
