My horse, Casey, has had a long career. He was a racehorse, show
horse, and school horse. He's suffered though bad saddle fit, stressful
training, and quiet a bit of pain. This also made him a monster to
ride!!! Bolting, pulling, bucking, running out at fences, etc... Since I've
introduced him to Tampa Bay Equine Practice's acupuncture, my horse
moves like he's 10 instead of 18! Dr. Nancylee has her own form of
magic. After a session, Casey floats in his gaits, frames up & jumps
more readily, and his over all attitude is much happier! Casey loves
Dr. Nancylee and totally starts to relax under her touch without even a
needle being inserted. Happy horse = Happy Megan.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I first enlisted the aide of Dr. Nancylee Bielawski when two of my
show jumpers became unavoidably stiff and sore during a year long
period of strict stall rest.
Immediately after my horses began Dr. B's treatments, I noticed that
the therapy seemed to be facilitating blood flow to the injury sites. I
was actually able to feel their tight muscles relaxing and saw muscle
spasms quelled. After each session was completed both horses
appeared to move with greater range of motion and seemed more
calm and at ease in their bodies .
There is not a doubt in my mind that Dr.Bielawski's therapies played
a pivotal roll in enhancing the eventual recovery of my horses.
I am grateful to have had access to Dr. Bielawski's equine
acupuncture not only for the treatment of injuries, but for the
prevention of future problems.
Kudos to Dr. Nancylee!

As horse owners, we all want to do anything we can to help with our
horse's comfort and flexibility and to keep them happy and productive
no matter what discipline we participate in. I have had Dr. Bielawski
work on my horses for a variety of reasons. Whether is was back
soreness due to saddle issues, stiff hocks from age or wear and tear or
horses coming off an injury, I have found acupuncture to be a vital part
of their recovery. Working in partnership with my veterinarian, Dr.
Bielawski has help my hard working foxhunters and show ring hunters
stay comfortable and increase their flexibility and ease stiffness in
their muscles and joints. She is highly knowledgeable and obviously
cares deeply for the horses on which she works. As a riding instructor,
I recommend acupuncture to my students for their horses as well.

Dear Fellow Horse Enthusiast:
I am writing this letter to express my resounding recommendation and
gratitude with respect to the services Dr. Nancylee Bielawski, DVM
whom I have known personally and professionally for 5 or 6 years and I
personally am a lifetime horse owner. I came to know Dr. Bielawski
when she was my veterinarian for my 4 horses and at my barn in North
Tampa. Beyond her practice of traditional veterinary medicine, I came to
know her and use her services of equine acupuncture for my personal
horses and horses whom I have boarded for others. Dr. Bielawski is not
only a skilled clinical vet, she is an amazing equine practitioner with
whom I have shared many stressful and critical experiences (most horse
emergencies are!).
I have witnessed equine acupuncture work on my old gelding who had
was suffering a painful colic. I had the banamine drawn, the vet on call to
the ng tubing and oiling, but figured I would give the acupuncture a try
first, just to see if a less invasive protocol would work on my old 20+
year gelding. I saw her stick needles in his face and under his eyes and
then I watched him relax from the pain and start licking his lips and
immediately poop out the other end. Any horse owner would know how
this colic experience goes and believe me, this was an unusual
experience to say the least. The horse then went over and drank water
and episode was over!
Personally, I have seen equine acupuncture cure 3 non-sweaters from
deadly anhidrosis last summer when nothing else would work! Two
sessions and we had sweating. All non-sweaters sweating!
However, the most amazing thing I have ever seen was when my twenty
year old miniature horse dislocated her hip in the pasture one day.
Weeks of treatments and thousands of dollars, including surgery, could
not mend her. She was according to all experts - and she saw them all –
unmendable. We decided to put her down. No leg, no horse. Well Dr.
Bielawski came out for weeks to treat her when she was a conventional
veterinarian and she was going to be the one to put her down, or so we
thought. Dr. Bielawski could not put down a miniature horse with 3
working legs without a fight and I was unsure what to think. It was her
opinion that the mini, whose name is Meadow, could get used to her
situation and possibly with the proper treatment of massage and
acupuncture, use the leg – not to full capacity – but maybe in SOME
capacity. We all were shocked and very skeptical. Three years later,
Meadow grazes, runs, lays down, gets up, chases dogs, bucks, still only
has 3 working legs, but LOVES her acupuncture and we literally see her
muscles relax and the leg drops during a treatment. This Memorial Day
will make 4 years!
Dr. Nancylee Bielawski is one of the finest equine professionals I know
and an extremely professional and caring practitioner. I am honored to
be her client and even more honored to call her my friend. She is open to
all her clients and I would say nothing but great things about her practice
and her personally.

My name is Meghan Rulli, I am a hunter/ jumper rider, and have been a
client of Dr. Nancylee Bielawski for two years. Throughout these two
years, we have been through a lot. A year ago, my horse a level three
jumper, had an unfortunate encounter with a farrier. Eventually, my
horse was lame, he could not walk, would not even get up for his feed.
For my spunky, seven year old jumper, this was not normal by any
means. We were then told by three veterinarians and one trainer to put
my horse down.
On top of his feet problems, he also was experiencing back soreness
and stifle issues. When I called Dr. Bielawski out she did an evaluation;
her prior knowledge of practicing in the field of lameness helped us in
more ways than one. She simply diagnosed him as an "onion" not
something that could not be fixed. For starters, she was the first person
to tell me that there is a chance for my horse and to not give up. She
evaluated him and we found out that my saddle was three sizes too
small- he is a tank! Throughout
a course of monthly treatments, I saw the most improvement in my
three-legged-lame horse. He was finally walking comfortably and
happy. While he was "down and out", Dr. Bielawski assisted me in
finding a proper fitting saddle. However, going into my horse's first
acupuncture treatment, I was a skeptic. But, after watching my horse
finally relax on his "bad Leg" and seeing him fall asleep I was
convinced! The wonderful thing about the acupuncture treatment is that
there are many options for every type of horse. In addition, your horse
not only will be more comfortable in his back but all over.
Now, almost two years from my horse's injury he is back doing
three-foot hunters- more than anyone ever expected! I still do routine
maintenance acupuncture sessions.
Dr. Bielawski is a God send, I am so thankful for her time, patience, and
knowledge! I would fully recommend acupuncture treatments and the
Chinese Herbs to trail horses all the way to top performance horses. It
will relax them and ensure a strong back for the ultimate performance!

I contacted Tampa Bay Equine Practice; LLC after my young pony was
having a great deal of back soreness due to a bad saddle fitting. He
was having problems in training and it wasn’t until Dr. Nancylee came
to evaluate him that I realized he had been trying to tell me that he was
in pain for quite a while. I had just put his disobedience down to being
a green pony. Also, he is not a good sweater and living in Florida it was
worrying in the summer months. Dr.Nancylee was also able to help his
sweating problems with acupuncture and I saw results on the very next
ride. I have heard of horse owners that had to move their horse to a
different state or like a friend who had given up her daughters pony
because on non-sweating. At first I was wondering how he would deal
with needles but at his first treatment I could tell by his relieved,
relaxed demeanor that he was getting immediate relief. After a couple
more visits from Dr.Nancylee his back has filled out and is now nice
and flat and he is a very happy pony. If you are having any training
problems or know that your horse/pony has back soreness then I
would definitely recommend that you call Dr. Nancylee, she is very
knowledgeable and professional. She is always there for any questions
or concerns I have about my pony and his treatment and is definitely
the first person I would call if my pony is showing signs of pain in any
area.
