IN TEXAS

We have confirmed exposure risk for horses that attended the WPRA Finals on November 4-9 or the 377 Arena on November 15 and 16. If your horse was at either location, quarantine immediately for the next 14 days and do not leave the premises during this time.

If you have an appointment with us, please do not unload your horses. You may come inside to check in, but keep your horses in the trailer until a staff member comes out to assist you. This helps protect every horse on the property.

EHV spreads through nose to nose contact, shared buckets or tack, contaminated trailers, airborne droplets from coughing or snorting, and from people who handle exposed horses.

Do not panic. Just be proactive. Good biosecurity, quarantine, and early symptom monitoring go a long way toward keeping your horse and the community safe.

If you have concerns or notice any symptoms, call immediately.

✨ A Little Reminder About the Power of Regular Massage ✨

I got my own massage today and WOW, I waited way too long. My muscles were tight, sore, and definitely reminding me what happens when we push self-care to the bottom of the list.

It made me think about our horses, too. They feel the same way we do when tension builds up. Stiff, sore, and not quite performing or moving like themselves. Regular massage isn’t just a luxury; it’s maintenance. It helps keep muscles soft and flexible, supports circulation, improves performance, and can even help prevent injuries.

There are so many great modalities out there and they all have their place. But nothing compares to a hands-on massage. There’s something about the connection, the feel, and the ability to truly assess and release tension through touch that no machine can replicate.

Your horse deserves to feel their best every day, not just when something feels “off.”
💆‍♀️💪 Consistent care makes all the difference, their body (and performance) will thank you!

The horse of the month is going to be just a little different today! For November, I give you…..

Caballo Diablo

“ Caballo was a 26 year old, registered quarter horse.
He was a gentleman, through and through. He made you ask for things nicely, and correctly for everything. He was loved for gentle ground manners, and spicy antics under saddle. He never settled for complacency, but met every rider where they were.”

Caballo, unfortunately, passed away on Halloween. He was owned by a dear friend of mine for over 20 years. He was her once in a lifetime horse. Everyone who knew him, loved him. I’m heartbroken that he is gone, but thankful that he was so loved, for so long. I got to give him several massages over the years, and he was very appreciative. Rest easy big guy!

When one horse riders heart hurts, all of ours do! ❤️

Benton friends! I’ll be in your area tomorrow afternoon with some availability, if anyone would like to be added to my list! ❤️

Got to meet a brand new face today! This girl got her very first massage! It’s safe to say she liked it! ❤️

Happy Halloween to all my wonderful clients — both two- and four-legged! 🎃
Fall weather (and all that extra friskiness!) can lead to tight or sore muscles. A good equine massage helps keep your horse loose, comfortable, and ready for any haunted trail rides ahead. 👻🐴
Schedule your next session and keep those spooky knots away! 🕸️

Beautiful weather today! This new guy loved his massage too! ❤️

Good afternoon friends! I've been asked multiple times here lately if I'm still massaging! The answer is YES! I'm still actively massaging full time! I'm just not as active on here as I have been due to my wedding is 16 days out! Your girl is BUSY! So I'm not taking as many pictures right now!

Also, PLEASE do not hesitate to double or triple text me right now! I have been telling everyone I can hide my own Easter Eggs right now, so I'm very forgetful! You wont bug me or offend me in any way! :)

Once the wedding is over, it'll be full steam ahead again!

It was a nasty day yesterday, but none of the horses complained!
