Welcome To Second Wind Farm - Cindy Reynolds Ph.D., L.M.P., E.S.M.T.

About Me

My purpose is to help resolve, for our animals, body-related problems, whether they are performance problems, problems related to training, riding or competition, to health, to behavior, or even sometimes physical problems related to their bonds with their guardians. I use information from diverse areas: medical biology and biomechanics, the richly varied techniques of bodywork and massage, horsemanship, and behavioral understanding. I am on a wonderful journey, always continuing to learn ways to apply hands, skills and intuition influenced by education and horsemanship to do body work which helps animals and their owners live better.

The education given to me in science was a privileged one, with much exposure to the most brilliant and visionary researchers of our time, in a rare atmosphere. My lifelong fascination and attraction has been animals and everything about animals from physiology to behavior, and the nature of the bond we have with them. For me learning never ends, and I am privileged now to combine my interests in working with the special companions who share our lives.

A 40 year history with my own dogs (to date many Siberian huskies and whippets, a Bouvier, a giant schnauzer, a Jack Russell terrier, and one fabulous Lab/Rottweiler mix) in breeding and showing, training, and performance is combined with 25 years of horses, pursuing traditional knowledge of the correct athletic development of the riding horse, (called simply 'dressage', a French word for 'training'). As a necessary part of that pursuit, the exploration of biomechanics became a driving interest. For me, this is the way to approach animal bodies with an understanding that brings together experience and specialized knowledge. (A colony of five feral cats shares my life in an important way, orphaned flying squirrels have been adopted for re-release, a Mynah helped me find little dots on the page all through graduate school and beyond.)

All of this means little without a 'touch'. In 1998 a horse with a neurological disease began teaching me about touch, and then others began asking me to 'have a look' at their horses. Every horse had something to teach me, and every horse still does. I like to say that this is the most fun I have ever had. It has been my full-time preoccupation to learn everything I can about using touch with animals; continually thinking about how the knowledge and teaching available can give us understanding of what it is to live with animals, of being responsible for their well-being. This includes understanding their bodies and supporting our performance horses and dogs through techniques which foster correct movement, balance, and longevity. The power of touch working through the neurological, the biomechanical, the deep brain and its responses - it is a huge subject, with many facets which we are just beginning to understand.

What follows is a partial list of education and training which have been part of the learning so far.
