JR Horse Services does not make any promises of healing. Energetic osteopathy is used to improve general well-being and does not cure chronic diseases. Chronic lameness may improve after several treatments, but will not magically go away after a visit. The customer pays for the treatment as such, not for an expected result. Please use the search function of this page for terms and conditions/ treatment policies. Once you book your appointment you automatically agree to the policies. Robinson Tierheilpraktiker

Appreciation post!

Let's face it: 43 years in the saddle, a licensed trainer myself since 1999, spent insane amounts of money training with world- and olympic champions,... and yet, show jumping was always my weak discipline. I was lucky if I made it over 1.15m without getting hurt, because I never got a solid foundation as a kid and certainly never had a very good horse either. I could only afford stubborn ponies and notorious stoppers. A year ago this week I met John Michael Durr who re-wired my German rider brain and pretty much made me do the opposite of everything I had done for decades. Never in my life would I have thought I was capable of doing the things I do now and actually ENJOY jumping the big, colorful sticks 😄 Coming back from another eye opening lesson this morning I can only say a) trainers need trainers too and b) you are never too old to start over. Big thank you to everyone involved 💚

Once and for all: No, I don't want to buy a website from you and I also don't want to sell your crap in a pyramid scheme. Unless you have a horse that needs help, DO NOT MESSAGE ME!

Mysterious lameness? No answers for years? Can't bend on one side? Sliding saddle? Won't pick up one foot? Girthy? Stopped jumping? Cross cantering? Not moving forward? (...) Answers are on the way!

Why do riders feel such a massive difference when they first get back on the horse after a session with JR Horse Services?

Energetic osteopathy addresses not only superficial muscle tension but also the deeper neuromuscular mechanisms that regulate muscle tone, coordination, and movement. Blockages are being removed at a deeper level.

The key is the muscle spindle — a specialized sensory receptor located within skeletal muscle that detects changes in muscle length and the speed at which it is stretched. Muscle spindles communicate with the nervous system and help regulate muscle contraction through reflex pathways.

The intended result is a change that goes beyond temporary surface relaxation: improved coordination between muscle layers, greater freedom of movement, and reduced compensatory tension throughout the body.

NEWS!!!

I have decided to expand my range of services. There is a lot of knowledge that I used to share with people when I still worked in orthomolecular medicine full time but that I rarely make use of anymore. However, out of the 10 wealthiest nations in the world the United States is ranked last when it comes to people's health. So educating people about biochemical processes in their body and telling them why they are deficient in so many micronutrients is certainly something very beneficial. My attempt is not only to teach people about an easier, healthier and cheaper way of living but also offer kinesiologic testings along with the classes.
This will start locally and possibly expand nationwide at some point. For now: If you are in Central FL and know any type of health related business that may want to host a class, please reach out to me 🙏

The inbreeding coefficient (COI) is becoming an increasingly important issue in modern sport-horse breeding. As breeding programs repeatedly concentrate the same successful bloodlines, genetic diversity can decline—even when the resulting horses look athletic, sound, and commercially desirable.
Why a high COI can be dangerous
1. Increased expression of harmful recessive genes
Inbreeding increases the chance that a foal inherits two copies of the same deleterious recessive variant from a common ancestor. This can contribute to congenital abnormalities, disease susceptibility, fertility problems, or reduced viability.
2. Inbreeding depression
As genetic diversity decreases, populations can experience poorer biological performance. In horses, this can potentially manifest as:
reduced fertility and conception rates
poorer semen quality
reduced foal viability
weaker immune response
increased susceptibility to disease
developmental problems
reduced overall robustness
3. The problem can be hidden by successful breeding lines
A stallion that produces exceptional jumpers or dressage horses may be used extensively. If his descendants are then bred back into closely related lines, the pedigree can become increasingly concentrated around a small number of ancestors. The resulting horse may have an impressive pedigree while carrying substantially more genetic risk.
4. Pedigree COI isn't the whole story
A calculated COI depends on how many generations are included and on the accuracy of the pedigree. Two horses with the same reported COI can have very different actual genomic diversity. Genomic inbreeding measurements and runs of homozygosity (ROH) can therefore provide additional information that a traditional pedigree calculation cannot.
The modern sport-horse dilemma
Modern breeding strongly rewards a relatively small number of traits: exceptional jumping ability, movement, rideability, conformation, and performance. This creates selection pressure toward a narrow group of fashionable sires and dams.
The danger isn't that all inbreeding is automatically bad. A carefully controlled amount of linebreeding has historically been used to consolidate desirable characteristics. The concern is excessive or rapidly increasing inbreeding without adequate genetic diversity and health screening.
A responsible breeding program should therefore consider performance + health + fertility + genetic diversity, rather than pedigree prestige alone.

Image 1: My own horse, despite older blood lines from various countries has an inbreeding coefficient of 33%
Image 3: United Touch S - everyone wants to breed their mare to him, but his parents are basically siblings. Inbreeding coefficient 42%!

Let's talk about homocysteine...

Homocysteine is an amino acid produced during the metabolism of methionine. It is basically toxic waste of the body. Normally, the body converts it into other compounds using folate, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and other cofactors.

Often, medication like steroids, bood pressure meds or acid blockers cause very low B-vitamin levels, therefore homocysteine levels rise and cause life threatening conditions.

Metabolic problems and medication raise homocysteine when these nutrients are deficient or poorly utilized, or when liver/kidney function, methylation, or related metabolic pathways are impaired.
Elevated homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia) is associated with:
Damage and dysfunction of blood-vessel lining,
increased oxidative stress and inflammation,
greater tendency toward blood clotting, and
increased cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk.
In some cases neurological and cognitive problems appear.

In short: impaired metabolism → homocysteine accumulates → increased oxidative and vascular stress.

Unfortunately in horses nobody pays attention to homocysteine levels (yet). Looking at how horses, particularly in the US, are carelessly being given omeprazole and steroid injections, it is surprising that no alarm bells are ringing.

During a session with JR Horse Services you can have your horse's micronutrient deficiencies tested and also learn about natural alternatives for medications with severe side effects.

Every day I get asked "do you have experience with..."?

I have done osteopathic and kinesiologic treatments on: Jumpers, eventers, dressage horses, barrel horses, roping horses, reiners, gaited horses, draft horses, driving horses, ranch horses, miniature horses, saddlebreds, harness horses, backyard ponies, racehorses, ancient horses, foals, olympic horses, kill pen horses, (....), donkeys, mules, humans, dogs, cats (not fun!), rabbits, a chicken, cows, sheep,... and I would still very much love to do a giraffe if anyone has one 😉
But yes, I can most likely help you.
