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.
Good news! First phase is complete. 24 June 2026
We got news today that the funding for the treatment has been approved! Now we just have to have some meetings with the London treatment team scheduled.
From there they will set dates and organise flights.
We can only guess when that might happen at this stage, so hopefully packing summer clothes is still the right thing to do.
Thank you everyone who have contributed and are yet to contribute, for holding the space for the success of this part of the journey.
Dan has to have ankle surgery when he gets back too so your support is gratefully received and will help him worry less about how to manage everything when he gets back from London too.
