Rancho de las Reinas

Rancho de las Reinas Certified and insured equine massage therapist and riding instructor for all levels Equine massage therapy improves the overall health and comfort of the horse.

In addition to significantly strengthening our relationship with our horse, massage alleviates soreness and tension resulting in increased performance and decreased susceptibility to injury. Many of the benefits achieved through massage are increased range of motion, stimulation of lymphatic flow, circulation of oxygen and blood flow, reduced inflammation, reduction in scar tissue, alleviation of pain, tension, and discomfort. My horse lessons at Rancho de las Reinas foster an environment allowing you to develop a bond with your equine partner. The basis of my teachings through groundwork, or under saddle, is developing the ability to listen to and communicate with the horse. Instruction on handling, grooming, tacking, and riding is provided for all levels. Arena work is available to advance your skills. Trail rides are available to enjoy your mount on the beautiful pathways. SERVICES

KNOWLEDGE
Rancho de las Reinas grew into the business it is today largely as a result of my equestrian experience showing horses over the past two decades in Reining and Ranch Riding. Upon retirement, parting with my reliable and trustworthy show horses was out of the question so, they were the perfect fit to teach beginners to ride. The business grew from there. I now am blessed to run a thriving lesson barn with clients of all levels. During this time, I had developed a strong interest in Equine Massage Therapy. I knew my performance horses and lesson horses would benefit greatly. The stars finally aligned in 2018 as I was able to attend a certification course by Therasage EMC, equine massage therapists for several teams at the World Equestrian Games, and exclusive therapists for several of the top National Reining Horse Association professionals and various elite trainers. Currently, I am completing additional certifications in Equine Myo-manipulative Functional Therapy, Equine Kinesiology Taping, and Equine Craniosacral Therapy offered through Angel’s Animals – Holistic Care. Practicing at various barns, competitions, and therapy, these experiences and the courses taken have been life-changing in how I approach my training regimen and how I care for my horses. I would like to share the benefits of this hands-on knowledge with you and your equine partner.

There is a lot going on in the political world and it parallels the equine world. So many adversaries. So many opinions. Quiet the noise. Silence the chaos. Whatever that means for you. Find peace. Still waters. Horses are that for me, for many. Let them be your solace. Just be still in their space 🦄

Learning to ride requires patience. It is an art. It takes an investment. And horses deserve it. Maybe all learning riders don't need to go this slowly, but slower than most want to accept, for sure. I found this interesting. How it's done at the Spanish Riding School:

Many equestrians are heard saying, "He has never done this". What they have missed are the smaller steps building up to this "offense". Make every effort to be more present with your horse. The barn is very social, but socializing while handling the horse often unknowingly allows unwanted habits to sprout. The horse on the ground is every bit as important as the horse under saddle. It is tough for people to be that present BUT it is the true gift of horses. They require you to be very aware and very in tune. It's a form of therapy. It's what we all love about being with them. They take away all other worries for the time you are with them. They are a break from the chaos. Take full advantage of this time. It will enhance your relationship full circle.

It's dental day! Little Tal had an impacted baby tooth blocking her adult molar from coming in. So happy I had her on a 2x/yr program to keep her teeth and mouth healthy. Wonder what the tooth fairy will bring?😍
