Hello

My name is Kirsten Kos and I came to all things equine rather late in life. I started riding English almost 5 years ago, starting on lesson horses, then moving up to a lease. That horse's name was Rohan and he was the one who got me hooked. Fast forward to the end of 2020 and I found myself the caretaker of an Oldenburg mare named Calandra. She has the body of a hunter and the spirit of a jumper and, together, we've figured out that there is no color of saddle pad that does not suit her. 

 

We've also figured out that she tends to injure her front legs and, as neither of us is getting any younger, this is a frustrating situation. Her first injury was a strained check ligament. Fortunately, we were living in Reno Nevada at the time and had access to Molly Wells and her Acuscope and Myopulse therapies. I had never heard of those before but my trainer recommended the treatment so I went ahead, hoping that Molly could get us back to work faster. Not only was I back in the saddle faster than we'd expected, Calandra was moving better than she had before.

​

In the summer of 2023, after relocating to Spokane, Washington, Calandra strained her suspensory ligament in that same leg. One of my first thoughts was to see if there was anyone in the area offering Acuscope and Myopulse therapy. Unfortunately, that was not the case and Calandra and I started down the long road of stall rest and slow rehabilitation. Molly Wells, who'd heard of my predicament, contacted me and suggested I think about getting trained myself so I could take care of Calandra. I ended up deciding to attend a more intense certification course so that I could offer these treatments to the Spokane equine community.

In October 2023, I became an ATS certified Acuscope and Myopulse Therapist and launched Epona Equine Therapy.
