The Hyoid bone in a horse:
📌Is a fragile cradle of bones that attaches to tongue. It also attaches to the atlas, poll & TMJ
📌Once tension is created in these areas, the horse can develop compensatory patterns in their back, ribs & hind limbs
📌Every muscle in the horse’s body eventually connects to the Hyoid!
📌Some signs of restrictions around the Hyoid can include holding their head to one side when ridden, unable to pick up correct canter lead, holding their head sideways when chewing, head shaking, struggling to soften onto bit, preferring one rein to the other, teeth grinding & opening their mouth when ridden

The Hyoid Release technique is a manual technique that is performed to release tension.

Photo 1: Guinness loves this technique & always has major releases from it💜 She was head shaking frequently but this has now resolved.

I enjoyed a weekend in the Black Hills attending a Masterson Method workshop & learning these techniques! It is amazing how horses respond to this method & how effective it is. With the Masterson Method of massage you work “with” the horse instead of “on” the horse. Horses absolutely LOVE this method! ❤️

The photo on the left is not a typical “action” shot that I typically post of an equine massage session but just a candid shot my daughter took tonight with a client’s horse named “Buletta”. I didn’t realize she took it until later when I was reviewing photos from this session. I love it because it perfectly captures my love for horses & the essence of why I love doing this🩷

I’ve massaged Buletta numerous times over the past 2 years & she reminds me so much of my horse “Guinness” that it’s uncanny. Thanks Emily for having me out this evening & always entrusting me to help Buletta feel her very best!

The photo on the right is a business card of Guinness & I 💜

I had the pleasure of doing a massage today on a firecracker of a barrel horse named Crackhead aka “Crack”❤️

Crack was not having any particular problems & her owner is great about being proactive on keeping her race ready with a variety of modalities one which includes regular massage!

Thanks again Val for having me to your barn!
