Testimonials on Jo-Ann's New Book:
"The Wilson-Meagher
Method of Equine Sportsmassage has been a game-changer in helping keep
my horse healthy, happy and performing at his best.
Since incorporating Sportmassage into his regular maintenance, he feels
freer in his overall movement, has more timely transitions, and has
shown improvement in his form over fences. Keeping Horses
at Their Best is a resource I turn to repeatedly for instruction and
insight. The methods are thoroughly explained and easy to follow,
and the chapters help troubleshoot common areas of muscle tightness
that affect movement and performance in horses of all disciplines.
It is a book every horse lover can benefit from having on their
bookshelf and including in their horse’s regular routine- your horse
will thank you!"
-- Maura Reynolds NP; rider, competitor
"Jo-Ann Wilson's amazing
book, Keeping Horses at Their Best" changed how we approach hands-on
training in our exercise physiology classes at the College of Central
Florida's Equine Studies program. This concise and relevant guide
to understanding and recognizing restrictions provides clear protocols
on implementing Equine Sportsmassage to help horses. It is now a
major element of our manual therapies class project!"

from Jo-Ann over the years. and her book on Equine Sportsmassage captures
exactly why she is an incredible mentor. She breaks everything down
in a way that makes sense to anyone looking to improve their horses
health and performance. The book lists common performance problems and
then gives easy to follow instructions on where, why and how to improve
the form and function of each muscle. It's a resource you will keep
coming back to, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to better care
for their horses."

"I’ve been a horsewoman for the past 40 years, much of that time was
operating a small boarding facility. Freedom to roam 24/7 and horses
living in a herd have been my priority. However, a book written by
Jo-Ann Wilson “Keeping Horses at Their Best”“ has been equally as important
to a mentally/physically healthy, thriving horse. I find this
book uniquely written as the contents are designed for every level of
horsemanship. The hands-on instruction and excellent photos make the
book easy to follow to obtain good results. Recognizing stiffness/motion
problems in your horse will Invite you down a rabbit hole of awareness
and confidence to improve and correct these issues. Once you start on
this journey, you will never look at a horse the same! This
book is my barn Bible and should be found in every barn."
-- Jaime Belanger Horse owner, rider, trainer
As a professional
FEI groom I was lucky enough to take Jo-Ann Wilson’s hands on course
in 2022. Along side this Jo-Ann’s book has helped me in so many situations.
From helping my horses at major 5* events across the world and also
Team championships. But more importantly no matter what level, all of
our horses benefit on a daily basis from the knowledge gained through
the easy instructions and methods used to apply that this book demonstrates.
Jo-Ann’s book goes where ever I go. For me this book is a must have
for myself and any barn or horse lover who wants to help their horses
as best they can.
