Therapetic Hands: from Equine to Canine

08/03/2025

Every horse is different, which means they all let you know in their own way if they like the session. Some are very “expressive” and let out big yawns and stretches, and others are more subtle like Lex who you can see was letting me know he was relaxing and enjoying his light session by slow blinking and licking and chewing! It’s all about reading the horse you are working on and catering to their unique needs!

Even I am so impressed with these results! Check out these before and after videos of a horse I worked on over the weekend. Mufasa suffers from horrible ringbone that has taken a turn for the worst over the last few weeks. His owner has taken every step to help him feel comfortable including working with her vet, farrier, and even discussing surgery options. She said he has good days and bad days and has sent me the first video to show me how bad the bad days can be, before our appointment. She was overjoyed to share the second video, after our appointment, showcasing how well he responded after just one light treatment! Mufasa still has a long road to recovery but I am grateful to be a part of his pain management plan and am hoping for the best for this sweet boy and his loving mom❤️

Throughout my years of massaging I found one thing consistent: horses, just like humans, carry a lot of tension in their shoulders no matter the discipline. The shoulder muscles of a horse play a crucial role in movement, particularly in lifting and extending the forelimb during walking, trotting, cantering, and jumping. These muscles are located around the scapula (shoulder blade) and upper humerus and are essential for forward reach, stability, and strength. There are many muscles that make up the shoulder including the Trapezius and Rhomboideus which lift and move the shoulder. The Serratus ventralis which supports the trunk between the forelimbs. The deltoid which helps flex the shoulder and move the leg outward. Finally the supraspinatus and infraspinatus which stabilize and extend the shoulder joint. A perfect symphony of muscles that work together to allow for smooth, powerful, and coordinated motion in the forelimbs!

Handsome boy Divy enjoying his session today! And with that, I will be out for the next six weeks to recover from surgery! 26 horses done in two weeks (after working a 9-5) was no easy task, but I’m happy I was able to get everyone in! So thankful for all my clients who have been so understanding and supportive during this difficult time, I truly am blessed! See you all in a few weeks!
