The word "stoic" is used quite a lot in the equine world. Horses are programmed through their nervous systems to hide and ignore pain and discomfort due to their survival instincts. Although there are those horses who do seem to show every little thing, for most it is no different for domesticated and working horses. Horses can and will work through a lot of stress and even injury before it ever becomes a glaring problem. Regular bodywork sessions can help pinpoint areas of tension and reactivity, and work to restore freedom of movement in order to divert the patterns of compensation that lead to injury.

The longissimus, or longest back muscle, is one of the most common areas of reactivity in all working horses that needs consistent maintenance and care. This article talks about why understanding biomechanics is important.

"The function of the long back muscle is purely for forward movement, and not to carry a rider. This task falls to other groups of muscles that need to be built up during the course of the horse’s training so that they can support the weight of the rider and leave the back muscle free to perform its task, which is locomotion.

The musculature of an equine athlete, similarly to that of a human athlete, must be developed gradually over time. The transforming of a muscular body is associated with intense pain, and anyone training horses must be aware of this and watch for signs of muscle pain and fatigue and respond accordingly. This means having frequent breaks on a free rein and days off training when necessary."

I am SO excited to partner with my good friend Rebeka of Halbert Farms who is a Magnawave Practitioner! It was very, very neat to combine our services to offer even more thorough bodywork sessions to these very deserving horses! Magnawave is one of the leading PEMF technology systems out there and if you have ever been interested to try it, we can hook you up!! Rebeka can also do human sessions, canine, cows, any farm animal you have. Horses and canines can receive both services together which we found very beneficial!

I am incredibly grateful to be able to help all of your horses stay more supple and feeling their best through bodywork. On the flip side though, we all know what an investment it is to get out there and travel to shows! I thank each and every one of you for choosing me so that I can live my dream of becoming an eventer and better rider! I really couldn’t do it without you guys. King and I won 1st place in our CT division at Texas Rose this weekend. He absolutely got some bodywork while there between the cross country outing and show day!

Hey everyone! I’ve been taking some time to rejuvenate from the school year, riding, and showing, and working on my personal horses. This wonderful APHA gelding I am riding is 24 years old, but shh!! Don’t tell him that! 🤫 He loves his massage sessions so much - it helps keeps his muscles elastic and ready to go as we progress this season. I am here for all your bodywork needs and would love to help your horses stay fit this summer season!
$70 per session

I love to hear my clients out there doing well! This boy and his awesome rider got reserve in the 2’9” hunters and champion in the 3’ this weekend!! I was just out to see him yesterday for a session before his show. He’s been actively showing this summer and really enjoys his massage sessions and doing great!!

I hope everyone has been staying safe and well during this crazy time. I haven’t been traveling as much as usual waiting for things to calm down, but am available for appointments when needed. My boy has gotten a lot more work than usual so he’s not complaining! I will be traveling out this week for massages for the first time in a while and looking forward to seeing the horses again!
