Help Dan Erickson cover costs for 3 months in England with his cancer treatment and rehab when he gets home.
Morrinsville, Waikato
For over 40 years Dan Erickson has supported every genre of the equine community with his unique style of relieving soreness in horses called Equine Rebalancing.
He has arguably saved millions of dollars in accident costs for riders as horses that are not sore are less dangerous. He has also caused millions to be earned in racing stakes and the sale of horses having had their soreness relieved.
Now Dan needs you. Like a cat with nine lives, Dan has come back from a shattered ankle, calf muscle degloving and many, many knocks. The latest was Feb 2025, he survived a doublebarrel kick to the face. It took 13 months to complete oral surgeries and he uses a hyperbaric O2 chamber to manage the concussion. He has been unable to work like he used to for the last 18 months and that alone has taken a massive financial toll.
Then, just as he went to start back working, he is given a diagnosis of a very rare cancer that is only treatable in London. Surgery was deemed too risky so now we wait for the funding decision on the treatment. He needs your support to continue the hyperbaric therapy for the 3 months in London and cover basic living and travel costs for the family, both home and abroad, that are not funded while there.
If you have been waiting for an opportunity to show him how much his work has meant to you, or if you only part paid or forgot to pay him in the past, or are looking for an extraordinary man to help, this is the time he needs people to show him how much they can care.
Dan is my best friend, the most humble person I know, and he deserves all the support he can get! We have worked together for several years now complementing his extraordinary Equine Rebalancing technique with my Chiropractic and Equine Contact Care skills
Funds will go towards Hyperbaric chamber rental while in London, Living costs here in NZ and in London.
Still waiting for dates 9 June 2026
I was hoping we might have heard any day now so I could have something substantial to update with so I have been holding off. I didn't want to hold off any longer before updating. So the current situation is we remain in a holding pattern of not knowing when, which I think is the more stressful part of the experience.
Dan has been overwhelmed with gratitude for the people who have come forward and it has helped him relive some memories of travels around the country.
He is the kind of guy who will give the last shirt off his back to help anyone in need. Please continue to share his story with people you know might be old clients of his. He loves the stories and memories of where kids are now, who had ponies he was able to help.
Hopefully our next update will be soon and we get some clarity on dates.
In gratitude
Anita
