Block 2 – Mentor: Ellis Buis

Ellis Buis

Block 2 Focus: In Block 2 we would like for you to concentrate on the “bigger picture” — incorporating anatomy, refining the techniques and your approach to each individual horse, honing your observation skills and ability to collect the information necessary to get an idea of what issues the horse might be experiencing. We’d like to transition you from merely doing the techniques to being able to give a “Final Evaluation” of the horse. For more about the focus of this block, please review your Fieldwork Student Manual.

You must incorporate mentor feedback from the first session of a case study in the second session (i.e., if your mentor has suggested improvements in a technique or asked why you didn’t do a specific technique in the first session, you need to show that you did the technique differently or used the technique in the second session). If you don’t incorporate your mentor’s suggestions in the follow-up session, the session will not be accepted as part of the case study and you will have to do it over.

After completing your 10 case studies (2 sessions per horse), please work with Ellis to find a Coach. Refer to the Fieldwork Student Manual or the links in this website for information on setting up a coaching session.
