Maggie Tinajero’s love for horses developed the day her grandmother placed her, age 5, on a horse named Topper. “I remember [my grandmother’s] face as she begged us to slow down,” Maggie said. “My passion for horses never left.”

Massage is a great way to improve your horse's range of movement! 🐎

Massage lengthens muscle fibers and releases fascial tension and knots that have formed in soft tissue. These knotted or “stuck” areas limit a horse’s range of motion.

Horse recovering from an injury?

The ACTIVet PRO LaserShower unit is a 200W Super Pulsed laser that delivers photons to tissue to very effectively reduce pain and accelerate healing.

The Multi Radiance Cascading Energy Effect allows for deeper pe*******on and enhanced absorption of light energy without the harmful thermal effects that other lasers have.

The Laser Shower is the only unit on the market that delivers light energy at a billionth-of-a-second, strongly reducing pain and increasing circulation.

This unit proves to be an absolute necessity in Equine Therapy. This powerful laser is a perfect addition to massage but is also extremely effective in recovery from injury.

✨ Let’s give a HUGE congratulations to all our SPF Equine horses and riders for their incredible success at the Arkansas State Championship Horse Show! ✨

The dedication, passion, and endless hours of hard work behind the scenes truly shine in moments like these. What makes me even prouder is seeing how each rider not only pushes themselves but also advocates for their horses—making sure they feel and perform their best through consistent bodywork and care.

I’m beyond proud of you all—your commitment to this sport and to your equine partners is inspiring! 💙🐎

Here's an interesting comparison between human and equine anatomy from our friends at Barrow Veterinary Service:

"Did you know that horses are actually walking on the tips of their fingers and toes? 🐎👣

This diagram shows how the horse’s leg bones compare to ours. What looks like a single strong hoof is really the distal phalanx (or coffin bone) – the same bone that makes up the tip of your finger! The long and short pastern bones above it help absorb concussion, while the cannon bone provides strength and support.

Over time, horses evolved to lose most of their “extra toes” (shown in gray on the left). What remains is a highly efficient structure designed for speed, weight-bearing, and shock absorption.

Understanding this anatomy is one reason hoof care and regular farrier/veterinary visits are so important. Any imbalance or injury in these bones can affect the entire limb and your horse’s comfort.

So next time you watch your horse gallop, remember – they’re essentially running on a single finger, protected by a hoof! 💨🐴"
