"Since Kathy started working on my show horses, I've noticed a definite improvement in their attitudes, which pays off with success in the show ring. Her work enhances their performances, both mentally and physically. The horses are happy to see her, which says a lot to me. Our show season is long, and the horses work hard. Keeping them sound, comfortable and flexible is a primary goal and Kathy helps keep the horses ready and able to work. I would strongly recommend Kathy to anyone who cares about the well-being of their horses."

"I met Kathy Butkovic late in the fall of 2006 and was thrilled to learn about her business, EquiSports Therapy, as I had been looking for someone who could help maintain my equine athletes as I have always strongly believed in alternative therapies. I began using her expertise as an equine sports therapist in January of 2007 and immediately saw great results, especially in the backs and hips of my reining horses. Since that first visit, I have had Kathy treat all my horses on a regular basis, usually once a month, sometimes more often during heavy competition. The overall strength, integrity and happiness of my horses has definitely been improved with the help of EquiSportsTherapy.
Kathy's exceptional skills combined with her bubbly positive attitude make her a great asset to my
business and I highly recommend her to anyone who is concerned for the well being of his or her equine athlete!"

"When Kathy worked on my horses she did an amazing job! I have had my horses worked on by other people and I think she is by far the best, in my opinion. Kathy does a really great job of putting different techniques into play to fix the problems, and keep them fixed. She even made one of my horses I ride enjoyable to be around again! Thank you so much, you are awesome!"

"I've seen definite and immediate changes in my barn once Kathy worked on my horses. One colt's attitude and work ethic turned around immediately making our training rides more enjoyable for both of us! Kathy also worked on my stud quickly before I walked in the show pen and he gave one of the best runs of his life! Honest and quick he scored a 72 1/2 an won the class! I highly recommend Kathy!"

"Being a horse a bit on the nervous side and pretty much stressed out in her two year old life as a futurity horse, Kathy 's therapy seemed to relax her to a point where I could move on with her training. There was a point in time that my trainer and I had about given up, but with Kathy's help we have decided to keep this horse and NRHA Derby her."

"When Kathy first came to work on our horses, I was quite impressed by her professionalism and knowledge. Kathy especially had a dramatic impact on the health and condition of one of my horses, 'BJ'.
BJ had problems that had gone undiagnosed for 5 years after many trips to the vet, farrier and various chiropractors. Working with Kathy for the past year has completely turned BJ around. Not only is the 21 yr old horse more content, she also went on to be named the CIRA Goat Tying Horse the Year in 2007! Kathy is a strong part of our horses regular fitness and health routine."

"We have seen amazing, immediate changes in our horses, their physical health and their dispositions once Kathy worked on them. The day after Kathy worked on one of our stud horses, he won the fast time in the Calf Roping at the 2006 Arizona Sun Country Circuit for the first time during the week long horse show. Our barn appreciates when Kathy comes to town!"

"Now that I have had a good chance to ride him this past week he has been great. The biggest difference was definitely in his neck he feels so much straighter and supple. After having a few good rides I did notice a difference in his back and his lateral bend!! We have had some of the biggest tempi changes that I have ever had on him!"

"Thanks so much for the work you did with Te Boo and myself. He has been very good and I think much more comfortable and settled. We showed last weekend at a local show and he was amazing, we won the Open and Non Pro Bridle Working Cow Horse. He was very rideable and just awesome. Even all of the trainers we beat were blown away!"

"Kathy is very personable with both people and horses. The horses love her
on sight and she is very comfortable with people (especially horse people).
Kathy explains things well and is very patient with the horses... She
not only explains to the owners she also shows you where the imbalances
are and how they may be affecting the rest of the horses body."

"Once Kathy started working on our horses we saw an immediate change and thought they had never looked better. The horses were relaxed and feeling good throughout the entire week long show..Whatever Kathy did with the horses was magic..In fact one of our horses Freckles (HR Belated) couldn't wait for her visits. We owe a lot to you and the great care you gave our horses."
