Deborah Herbert, Winston the Equicizer and "The50plusEquestrian"

The journey of a "Senior" Equestrian back to fitness, through faith, healthy life choices, training excellence, superior equine health optimization, tack, nutrition….and Fun!

Enthusiasm. A desire to do more; be better. Catchy isn't it? Enter Deborah Herbert. An Equine Artist, Art Education Consultant, Grant Writer and all around great gal, we "met" Deb not too long ago. Although we always tell customers that used Equicizers are hard to come by - because they are - Deb was fortunate to find one not far from our location here in Ohio. She arranged for it to be dropped off at our workshop and hired us to pack "Winston" up and ship him down to her location in Florida.

Deb is rehabbing from an injury and dealing with something many of us can probably relate to all too well when we're forced to step away from riding for an extended period of time (whether we want to admit it or not) - a certain level of anxiety! When you get back into the saddle for the first time after an absence, having the confidence to know your muscles are going to cooperate, your sense of balance is still intact and your reflexes are as good as they ever were can not be underestimated! It can be very hard, impossible even, to regain that level of confidence without actually sitting on an actual, living breathing horse... which is just not an option for many of those still in the rehab phase. 

While nothing can help a rider completely replicate that scenario, and your standard gym equipment doesn't even come close, an Equicizer is the next best thing. A majority of our customer base uses their Equicizer for this purpose exactly - to rehabilitate from those inevitable injuries and stay in shape during the time spent away from riding. Up until now, we have received countless testimonials and even an occasional video sharing all of the ways people have benefited from the Equicizer, but Deb has taken it one step further. Welcome to "The50PlusEquestrian".

Deb has created her own blog to chronicle her journey through rehab with the Equicizer, with the goal of competing again aboard her own beloved Level 3 Western Dressage AQHA mare. She will also be sharing some of the many ways that small life changes are adding up to make a big difference in her personal path to a fitter, stronger, healthier lifestyle. We are very excited for Deb and very excited for YOU, our reader, as you will get a firsthand look at how the Equicizer is being used in homes around the world, through Deb's personal blog. I guarantee Deb's blog will inspire you, challenge you, and provide you with a healthy dose of laughter through her witty writing!
