NOW BOOKING FALL & WINTER Equine Bodywork Interactive Clinics for Horse Owners.

Are you interested in hosting an interactive clinic at your facility in Ontario? Please reach out for more information and availability.

What you will learn during these clinics:
- Basic Equine Anatomy & Biomechanics
- Muscle Actions & Tone Differential
- Conformation & Posture
- ROM and Dynamic Stretching Exercises
- And something I think every horse owner should carry a general understanding of; palpation skills. You do not need to be advanced. This is meant to teach you how to assess a difference in your horses tissue and when a professional or veterinarian should intervene.

Excited to continue these clinics from last year!!

A very big step with this mare today, from very defensive/dismissive to comfortable enough to close her eyes with me even when working a tense area. Previously she was nervous and would never want to take her eyes off of me. Sometimes we just need to pause and realize how far we have come.

🕸️ Can fascia carry surface tension? 🕸️
⠀
Fascia plays a huge role in your horse’s health and biomechanics — and there is question of whether it can also carry trauma. Personally, I think it can and does.

In both humans and horses, fascia is a hydrated connective tissue designed to glide and move.
⠀
When it becomes sticky or restricted, surface tension can occur. During palpation, this might look like twitching, spasms, flinching, or general tightness. These reactions tell a story. Tension can also travel through the body, which is why neuro-myofascial release can be so effective.
⠀
Take girthing as an example: discomfort may be linked to gut health, tack fit, muscle soreness/tension or even past negative experiences. Over time, this can create a fascial reaction to the process even if the original issue is resolved.
⠀
💡 Tip: Before tacking up, spend a little extra time grooming or try gentle releases (like sternal lifts or light massage) to help release the superficial fascia and improve comfort. This is also a great way to bond with your horse and build a positive experience.

Share your thoughts in the comments, do you find your horse can carry surface tension?

❗️ATTENTION Caledon Dressage riders & spectators❗️

REST will have a booth at Angelstone in August (8 - 10th) and will be continuing the Fascial Stretch Therapy Demos over that weekend! Message me to secure a time slot or just pop in to chat!

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a gentle, assisted stretching technique that targets not just muscles, but the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, joint, and organ in the body. Unlike traditional stretching, FST uses smooth, pain-free movements combined with breathing patterns to open up the body and improve flexibility, mobility, and overall function.

I’m also available for your equine partners this weekend! Show sessions are in full swing!

Let’s talk lumbosacral tension.

Chronic tension in this area should always be evaluated with a vet—but as a bodyworker, here are some common muscular contributors I see:

🔹 Gluteal tension – affects hip extension & hind limb propulsion
🔹 Longissimus dorsi – contributes to a hollow back & lumbar restriction
🔹 Latissimus dorsi – linked to ribcage immobility, trouble with “back to front” trunk movement & disunited gaits

These muscles all span over the lumbosacral region in some way. They don’t work in isolation. “Lumbosacral tension” is often the result of a chain reaction—not just one issue.

Check your bodywork reports closely—they might explain the real cause behind what you’re feeling under saddle.

Myofascial release is a tried and true technique to relieve tension and regain mobility in this area.
