Hestaband™ PRO-Course - ATLANTIC CANADA

Hey everyone!
I’ve had quite a few people asking if I will offer the Hestaband™ PRO-Courses here on the east coast.

The answer is: Yes. (The first Calgary Hestaband™ PRO-Course filled within just a few weeks.)

This is a professional-level, hands-on program designed for practitioners with a foundation in anatomy and experience in animal care or therapy. This course goes beyond standard taping instruction, focusing on clinical reasoning and real-world application rather than memorized techniques.

A hands-on, science-based course focused on practical taping applications you can immediately integrate into your work.

Designed for:
• Veterinarians
• Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs)
• Equine body workers, therapists, farriers
• Human physiotherapists and therapists working with equine clients
• Other equine professionals with relevant experience

If there was a Hestaband™ PRO-Course hosted here in Atlantic Canada, would you like to attend?

Comment below or send me a message to discuss this course for 2026.

🐴 Years ago, I had a riding instructor tell me that I would never be good enough. According to her, I hadn't ridden enough different horses to become a truly good rider.

The other day, after finishing a ride with Splendid, I found myself thinking about that comment.

What does "good enough" actually mean?

I don't need to be a good enough rider to go to the Olympics.

I don't need to be a good enough rider to jump a three-foot course.

I don't need to be a good enough rider to impress everyone watching from the sidelines.

I simply need to be a good enough rider to enjoy my horse, feel confident in the saddle, and find happiness in the time we spend together.

And honestly, that's enough.

Taping is no different.

Many people worry that they don't have enough clients, enough horses, enough experience, or enough opportunities to practice.

But becoming skilled at something isn't about comparing your journey to someone else's.

It's about showing up consistently, practicing a little every day.

It's about learning from mistakes, building confidence, and improving one application at a time.

You don't need to be the best.

You don't need hundreds of horses.

You don't need to meet someone else's definition of success.

You only need to become good enough for the goals you've set for yourself.

✨ My good enough is great for me.

❓ Who starts a business in the middle of a pandemic❓
I did.
🎯 I kept hearing the same thing over and over again:
“Where do you get your tape?”

in 2020, I was using the kinesiology tapes I had developed over years of trial, testing, and multiple prototypes for my own practice. They were never supposed to be sold.. they were simply made for me and the clients I treated every day.

Then therapists started asking if they could get it too. More clinics began reaching out. Athletes were recommending it to each other. What started as something built quietly for my own practice was suddenly spreading far beyond it.

At the time, Hestaband™ didn’t exist. There was no brand. No company. No big plan. No investors. No great product launch.

Now Hestaband™ has become one of the most recognized kinesiology tape brands in the equine rehab world — with one of the LARGEST kinesiology tape collections in the world.

🖤 Over 20 tape selections.
🖤 Multiple wide roll options.
🖤 Satin. 🖤 Cotton. 🖤 And one very special Hestaband™ Lymph.

What started as something built for my own practice has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined.

Team Hestaband™ continues to grow, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported this extraordinary journey along the way.

This place is massive!

My journey with Wellington, Florida began in 2004. I traveled south for the winter show season working as an equine rehab specialist with the Canadian riders and their horses. It didn't take long to realize I had found my people, my community, and my home away from home.

For over a decade, I returned every winter, building friendships and memories that have lasted a lifetime. My love for Wellington runs so deep that when I established my farm in Nova Scotia, I named it *Wellington North*.

No matter how much time passes, a piece of my heart remains here. I still count the days until I can return and see the friends, family, colleagues, and clients who have shaped so much of me and my life.

Welcome to Wellington International South, the newest expansion of ...

DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES - SAME GOAL
Both riders want to keep their horses comfortable, supported, and performing at their best. 🐴

🤠 Barrel racers put huge strain on joints, muscles, and soft tissue during hard turns and explosive speed.
🍁 Hunter/jumper riders need stability, balance, and support through repetitive training, jumping, and long show days.

That’s where Hestaband™ comes in.
✔️ Recovery for hard-working muscles
✔️ Added stability during training and competition
✔️ Helps manage soreness
✔️ Flexible enough to move with the athlete — not against them

Every discipline asks something different from the horse… and every horse deserves support that works as hard as they do.
