Molly Wells, Owner of Equinessence

Molly Wells comes from an athletic background. She incorporated her athletic knowledge and experiences into her business, Equinessence, which started in 2002. Her goal in the equine athletic world has always been to optimize the level of performance, extend the career life of equine athletes, and allow those with career threatening conditions and injuries to recover and continue to compete. Currently, Molly is the most active and credentialed Equine Therapist and Equine Instructor in the world for the Animal Calibrated Electro-Acuscope/Myopulse Therapy System.

Mollys' athletic background began when she started swimming at the age of three, and she continued to swim for U.S. teams throughout high school. She was a diverse athlete playing both basketball and tennis throughout middle school and high school while maintaining her swimming eligibility. Molly then went on to swim for Diablo Valley Junior College where she achieved the status of being an All-American swimmer, and received her Associate of Arts degree. She then transferred to the University of Nevada, Reno being accepted into the Animal Science program, continued her swimming career with the NCAA Division 1 ranked team, and graduated three years later. Molly's experience being an elite collegiate athlete allowed her to understand what it takes to keep an athletes' body going through extensive training, pain, and injuries.

Towards the end of her swimming career, Molly began barrel racing in 1999. She owned and competed on two primary horses, Go Be Quick (Quickie) and DD Sunday Society (Sunday). Molly achieved one of her dreams in 2007 by earning her WPRA card (Women's Professional Rodeo Association) with Quickie. Both Quickie and Sunday are personal testiments of Molly's work, and the Animal Calibrated Electro-Acuscope/Myopulse Therapy System. They both had chronic conditions that are typically thought of to be career ending in the equine world however, that was not true with these two exceptional horses.

In 2009 Quickie suffered a fractured coffin bone after falling during a run, and previous to that incident was also diagnosed with side bone (a chronic condition in both front feet). Molly quickly implemented her rehabilitation program and Quickie recovered 75% faster than the original prognosis. One of her first runs back she placed 5th out of 691 entries at the NBHA Las Vegas Super Show. At 18 years old, she was still sound, still competing, and continued to place and win. She was kept on a consistent treatment program, and her side bone remained maintained.

In 2011 Sunday suffered a bone chip in his stifle during one of his runs. Through extensive diagnostics, he was diagnosed with OCD in both stifles (a degenerative condition that is irreversible). After surgically removing the chip the Veterinarian also found further damage to his meniscus. Along with outstanding veterinary care, Sunday underwent Molly's rehabilitation program. He was clinically sound with no effusion of the joint at 30 days post-surgery, and was cleared for training in a fraction of the expected time and returned to barrel racing. The following season he was also diagnosed with ring bone (an arthritic condition of the pastern joints on the front end of the body). Once aware of his chronic conditions, Molly kept him on a consistent treatment program and continued to compete on him. Sunday remained sound, strong, and healthy until he passed in 2020.

As a result of Molly's education, training, experience and love for animals she has been able to make a remarkable difference in the animal world. She works in conjunction with Veterinarians, and believes that it takes a team of professionals in order to create a balanced healing environment for the animal. She also continues to work and train with Veterinarians, Physicians, and Physical Therapists in order to expand her knowledge and education. Molly believes in the power of education and has traveled throughout the country being a speaker at conferences and offering lectures and seminars on equine physical therapy. She also takes great pride in training and producing other qualified ATS Acuscope Therapists. The growing demand in this field, and knowing that there are more animals being helped by this proven therapy system are main motivating factors for Molly's dedication.

Molly also has extensive experience working in professional sports, primarily in the MLB and NFL industries through her Elite Athletic Consultants and P.R.O.11 sports divisions. She has obtained several advanced specialization credentials in the professional sports field, and has worked with players from 26 different MLB organizations along with 15 NFL organizations. Her education and experience with her sports division has lead to her expanding work with equine athletes.
