Description

Presented by: Jennifer Brooks, PT, MEd, CERP, Equine Physical Therapist

Jennifer Brooks dedicated her professional life to the art and science of large canine and equine rehabilitation.  Every march she would host a seminar on the Equine Stifle and specifically on the IUFP (Intermittent Upward Fixation of the Patella).  Her last lecture on the Stifle was filmed March of 2019, 3 months before her untimely passing.  We hope you enjoy our presentation of Jennifer’s course Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Equine Stifle Dysfunction.

A portion of the proceeds from this course are going into a specific mutual fund for the education of Jennifer’s grandchildren.  Jennifer was a huge believer in the education of everyone, specifically her three children, whom she lived to see all graduate college.  Donations are also made to the Nashua NH Soup Kitchen/Food Pantry in her name every month.  These two activities are not directly tied, but I do this to honor Jennifer’s spirit of giving to others.  It you are interested in doing more for causes Jennifer loved, you can give to the Nashua Soup Kitchen or to Live and Let Live farm in Chichester, NH.
