FIT RIGHT SADDLE SOLUTIONS

Hello Everyone, 
This month's enewsletter is a little bit different.  It is probably the hardest one I have ever had to write.  I started it in May and finally today was led to finish it and send it out.  I think there must be someone that needs to hear it that I can help.

 
Standing on the Promises of God
 
In January, I had to face the fear and confusion of another dreaded cancer diagnosis. I was not surprised, I knew the tumor was there.  I have been down the breast cancer road before.  But still, my head was spinning.  Do I listen to the doctors or do I listen to my heart? My instincts have served me well in the past. The cancer doesn't scare me, the treatments are what scare me.  I prayed and asked for prayer.  
 
The doctors say I needed to do the conventional treatments of chemo, radiation, immunotherapy and then surgery.  But, the closer I got to starting the treatments, the more stress and turmoil I was going through. Taking high doses of poison and hoping that you kill the cancer before the poison kills you just doesn't make sense to me. There are 2 pages of horrible side effects attached to my treatment plan.  Even more cancer is a listed as a side effect of the chemo.  And their numbers are not good either. The success rate of chemo on this type of cancer (TNBC) 60%. And their definition of success is shrink the tumor.  You still have cancer cells and possibly deadly side effects. The chances of another reoccurence 40%.  I  believe if I started chemo my life would be over.  
 
Thankfully, God has left instructions. I pray and ask for prayer.  I started collecting healing verses from the Bible.  I thank God every day for my good health and healing. I pray for wisdom and guidance. I believe in Jesus and His love for us and His healing power. I believe God is working all things for my own good.  I believe He is using me to glorify Him and I am supposed to share my faith instead of keeping it to myself like I did before. 
 
The healing plan is to build up the immune system so my body can heal, more rest, some alternative drugs like ivermectrin and menben, vitamins, supplements, IV C, SOT therapy and the GB4000 frequency generator. I knew from before what I should and should not be eating but I admit I slacked off especially after that 5 year mark. Probably one of biggest reasons I feel so good is because of the changes in my diet.  And of course, because I dumped this cancer issue at the alter. 
 
I love helping horses with their people and their saddles. I am definitely still working and riding. I even bought another horse.  Most saddle fitting appointments and all lessons are being done here at our farm in Crossville. I am doing a lot more virtual fittings on the TW and Specialized Saddles.  With Baley's help, I still go everywhere I have gone before for those that have saddles and can't trailer their horse. Traveling appointments are few though and far between.  I just can't be on the road as much as I was. Alternative cancer treatment is not covered by insurance and it's not cheap so, I am definitely still working.  
 
I have worked hard, played hard, rested little and ate not so good for a long time. The cancer is just a diagnosis, it is not a fight.  I don't hate cancer.  I am not in a fight mode, I am in a resting and healing mode.  And praising God for blessings for us all.
 
Thank you in advance for your prayers and as always for helping me to spread the word about proper saddle fit and how it affects our horse's behavior, performance & ultimately the health of horse & rider.
