🥰**Feedback after a Saddle Fitting with BTMM Session: ** 🥰

"Hey Amanda,

I apologize for the delay with my feedback, but the good news is Pablo thoroughly enjoyed his body work! I believe he is more comfortable in his skin if that makes sense. I’ve been able to curry comb him all over & he doesn’t fidget or shake his skin, he even enjoys it. Normally he has a few spots i can only curry with the very soft curry comb if that, but now i can use the nubby one all over.

I’ve also done my homework as you suggested and taken to rubbing/massaging the SI & shoulders just very moderately with my hands & he seems to like that. He closes his eyes & responds well.

He just had his SI checked & treated, which was very sore but the ultrasound looked good. Also his kissing spine got great reviews. The spot under the saddle is almost completely healed & the second spot behind has gained space!

So doing great! Definitely a fan of doing the BTMM with you again along with his Saddle Fitting."....

Best, Cat

Lovely day in Dickson, TN- just outside of Nashville. Lots of adjustments for these growing horses. It so nice to have so many with the fully Adapt Tree system and wool flocking to accommodate these changes. 👏🥰

Beautiful day at ❤️The Biltmore Equestrian center ❤️ in Asheville, NC! Always a treat as the grounds are kept stunningly beautiful all the time! If you have not been there- you are missing out! Take a tour of the huge house, watch the Luminere at night , visit the winery, take a carriage ride, bring your horse and ride!! There is SO much to see and do!

Does BTMM Nerve Release work and Pillar work produce a reproducible change in neuromuscular posture that increases thoracic/ forelimb dimensions?? Could it alone produce measurable increase in muscle and measurement volume??

I will let you decide. Using scientific data with tools and measurements.

I have been tracking measurements and data on horses for the past 15 years and the last several years have seen the increase of undeniable positive changes in Horses following the BTMM work.

As many of you know I take an 80 point diagnostic Saddle Fit Evaluation full of measurements each fitting so the owner and I can track the changes. This helps me greatly in fitting and refitting saddles.

I have to share with you this one Horse in particular that I just saw again last week. A beautiful warmblood mare that has NOT been in ridden work for months HOWEVER she has had a BTMM Nerve Release session with a saddle fitting measurements with myself, she has had BTMM sessions with Stacia and a BTMM session with Celeste Lazaris.

Her measurements were astounding! The 3-D Arc Device ( I am attaching photos of that measuring tool to help you see visually and better explain the numbers that I am focused on ) :

L-80/ SPINE/ R-80
L-90/ SPINE /R-100
L-120/ SPINE/R-120.
L-130/ SPINE/ R-140

Last year when she was being ridden her number were uneven and less top line.

L= Left side of thoracic vertebrae and R=Right side of spine. (This tool measures the saddle support area= The top line of the Horse. Behind the scapula to the T-18. ) So she was uneven right side verses her left side within her SSA.

Now after NO riding, NO gadgets, NO forcing a position or frame. Focusing ONLY on BTMM Pillar work and Nerve Release sessions. Her measurements are :

L-100/SPINE/ R-100
L-120/SPINE/ R-120
L-140/SPINE/ R-140
L-140/SPINE/ R-140

Growth and very even!!! HOW??? How could this happen if she is not being ridden? These are numbers Trainers aim for.

What can change biomechanically?? The BTMM Nerve release work "thanks to -Leilani Lazaris , Balance Through Movement Method "for teaching us how the equine body naturally organizes and develops to become stronger, healthier, and more comfortable when nerve compression is released! BOOM!!! Exactly what happened.

The other measurement area I have seen such expansion and development is the Coronet Band width distance in the fore arms. This mare went from a 33cm distance to a 41cm stance!!! What is the significance of this?

BTMM teaches us all about the importance the Brachiocephalicus plays. It is a long superficial muscle connecting the head/neck region to the forelimb. Its major limb action is protraction of the forelimb. Therefore changes in this area can alter the relationship between the scapula and thorax. This can subsequently change the orientation of the entire forelimb.

I have personally seen in each and every BTMM Nerve Release session I have done this area opens up after creating space for them and the Horse can now widen his stance. The blood flow is no longer restricted and the magic happens!!!

It is so exciting to me as I have been taking these measurements for 15 years now and have measured thousands of Horses. To see the significant positive changes that happens when our Horses are listened too and allowed to be in a correct postural position not forced , not bulldozed! Its beautiful!!!

Now this mare is ready to continue her pillar work under saddle. She was able to get her Schleese tree re-adjusted to her new measurements and wool flocking adjusted to her top line growth. This is why I always recommend if possible to have an adjustable tree and wool flocking. Horses are constantly changing shape and its important to stay on top of those changes.

This IS real and IS scientifically proven with hard and fast measuring tools. Not guess work.

Sooo, Does BTMM Nerve Release work and Pillar work produce a reproducible change in neuromuscular posture that increases thoracic/ forelimb dimensions?? Could it alone produce measurable increase in muscle and measurement volume??

YESSS!! The proof is here and is being seen all over in Horses.

THANK YOU Celeste for not giving up and continuing to be the voice for our Horses safety and longevity! 💕

Today’s BTMM Nerve Release session concentrated on addressing restrictions throughout her body particularly on her
right side and help stimulate and promote more blood flow to her injury.
Post-Session Notes:
Blu appears to have been accustomed to holding her body in a braced posture, and her fascia
seems to have adapted to that long-term pattern. At the beginning of the nerve release session,
she was quite tight and found it difficult to relax or stretch her head downward.
As the session progressed, she showed clear signs of release, with improved relaxation and
several positive responses indicating that tension was decreasing. By the end of the session, her
body language suggested she was more comfortable and able to move with greater ease. 😍
