"As a practicing sport horse medicine veterinarian,
I refer horses to Jo-Ann because she has a keen ability to achieve results
for horses with muscular problems. She understands the demands on these
equine athletes and has an unbelievable knowledge of both anatomy and
biomechanics. It is a pleasure to work with her and put our heads together
to get the best results. I highly recommend her method as a complementary
and adjunct therapy to veterinary medicine."

"It is my pleasure to recommend Jo-Ann Wilson's
DVD, “A Course in Equine Sportmassage.” The clarity of material and
instruction is excellent and accessible to both the equine student and
horse owner. We have instituted this DVD as part of our curriculum at
Johnson & Wales University's Equine Studies Program in our Equine Physiology
and Sports Therapy course. The students have been able to apply some
of the basic massage techniques outlined by Jo-Ann in their laboratory
sessions.

“A Course in Equine Sportsmassage” with Jo-Ann
Wilson provides a straightforward and easy-to-use approach to gait assessment
and equine sports massage. Jo-Ann's succinct explanation and demonstration
of the dynamics of motion guide students through the process of identifying
where the flow of motion is restricted. She then identifies the major
performance muscle groups, explains their function and demonstrates
how to release tightness and restriction with compression techniques.
The compression techniques have made a real difference in my horse.
His overall performance has improved, his appearance is rounder and
softer and he begins his work more relaxed, forward and supple. I highly
recommend this DVD to anyone looking to develop a strong, athletic equine
partner.

Your DVD is a very good educational documentary.
The photography, the horses, and the people are all great. Everything
about it is great! It is interesting, it moves, and is of the highest
quality. My neighbor, who is not a horse person, watched it and was
fascinated. It was fun to see myself in it and what I had to say. I
think it is absolutely terrific. Hats off to you, Jo-Ann!”

"Good One! I watched the DVD last night. If it
wasn't late I would have massaged Torro last night. I am so excited!!!!
I massaged him this A.M. and he loved it. His right front has been a
problem for several years. He trotted off nicely and later cantered
across the 5 acre pasture and up the hill. The canter sounded more relaxed,
even at speed. Can't wait to work on Braien. Thank you so much!! I really
got a lot out of it, I also learned about the hand softness...this just
gave me the confidence to go out and be responsible to my horses.
-- Laurie Smigelski, Trail rider and former
FEI Combined Driver Excalibur Farm
Dick and I were absolutely riveted. We watched
the DVD from beginning to end and Dick, who has been an award winning
teacher at MIT for over 60 years, says you are a superb teacher. You
talk slowly and distinctly with great enthusiasm. Even though we are
not currently involved with horses, we learned a great deal of interesting
information about massage and muscles. It was beautifully assembled
and it is a wonderful piece of work. Thank you so much.
-- D. and M. Battin, Massachusetts
“I just got done watching your DVD and was sooooooo
pleased. I learned so much I can't wait to go to the barn in the morning.
The DVD was set up quite well. It is so easy to find your way around
which will come in handy as I refer back to it at different times for
different reasons. I just can't tell you how pleased I am with the DVD.
It is so clear and concise and you show us exactly where to do the massage
and the effects the muscle has on motion. I will watch it many, many
times and improve on my techniques. Thank you, too, for going to the
trouble to try and help the average person (like me) help our trusted
mounts. I want my horse to be at his best and anything I can do to help
him I will do. I believe wholeheartedly in the Meagher method and now
have your DVD to further my knowledge. I am most pleased.
-- Jennifer Palmer, California
“With this DVD, Jo-Ann Wilson shares her gift
as a teacher and recipient of Jack Meagher’s wisdom, by creating a clear,
concise, visual reference. Anyone who loves horses, from beginner to
long time professional can understand and easily use its lessons. I
love it and will continue to watch it often.”
“Using Jo-Ann’s massage DVD for my horses has
opened up a level of communication with them that I never dreamed possible.
Immediately upon doing some of the massage techniques, my horse’s attention
shifted and stayed focused on me in a way I have never experienced before.
Their attentiveness to me, in turn, caused a profound shift in my awareness
of them. This kind of touch was something they both understood and clearly
appreciated. It was also amazing how quickly their muscles responded
and relaxed. In addition to the obvious health benefits for them, a
more trusting and productive relationship has developed between us.
I would encourage anyone who is interested in developing a deeper and
more rewarding level of communication with their horse to use the technique
outlined in Jo-Ann’s DVD. You and your horse will be better for it.”
-- Janis Redlich, Horseowner and competitor,

“I purchased your DVD and after watching it from
start to finish, I felt compelled to email you. I enjoyed it, I learned
from it and it captivated my attention for 70 minutes-which is a feat
in itself! I am a video producer by trade and was impressed with the
sound quality… I thought the production was really well done. I am a
breeder of quality sport horses. I have been interested in massage for
a long time. Your DVD has re-enforced some of my thoughts and has definitely
given me more confidence. The muscle groups as defined was wonderful
and your layman analogies throughout the DVD were appreciated and very
well understood—bringing better understanding as to what is going on
beneath the surface. The chapter on student training section was very
valuable because the mistake was made of rotating up vs. going straight
in with the pressure. I am sure it is a common mistake but one that
would not be obvious until seen…. Thank you very much for making this
DVD available.”
