Stable Hands Equine Therapy

I am so excited to start introducing balance pads to my horsey clients! Here's Miss Liberty Belle's second experience with the balance pads. The balance pads create an unstable surface for the horse (you may notice her slightly swaying back and forth) which will help with balance, mobility, posture, and proprioception. I am using them on my own horses to help with their topline as well! You can see how LB is doing a lot of licking and chewing and even some yawning as she relaxes and releases using the pads!!

I cannot tell you how valuable April's clinics are!! She's a wealth of knowledge!

4 DAY PRO EVENT October 16-19 in Collinsville IL!

Hands on, group learning among professionals about all things equine bodywork/wellness.

Our event is hosted on a beautiful private track living facility and all presentations will be given inside to avoid any weather concerns.

We have plenty of lodging within just miles of our location. Two airports within an hour of us-which I’m willing to help transport to and from.

At least once a month I’m asked, “do you do any in person classes” so I’ve been working on how to make this jam packed full of helpful information since bodyworkers are busy and travel for education isn’t always the easiest thing for us!

Reminder-this isn’t limited to SBW students or graduates! It’s open to ANY certified equine massage therapist or student of any program that wants a chance to group learn!

Please reach out if you have questions via messenger or email schaefferbodywork@gmail.com

A few business items:

1.) if you are a current client and haven't downloaded the equigate app for session notes, message me so I can get you all set up! It's pretty cool! I don't necessarily send notes from every single session (they can sometimes be repetitive) but I do always have them so if you want a particular session just message me. CHECK OUT THE NEW DIAGRAMS BELOW!

2.) I have only have a few spots open on specific routes so if you are wanting to get on my monthly waitlist for bodywork, reach out sooner than later because some cool new things are coming....(keep your eye out for those new posts next!)

Meet Vogue aka Tiktok Famous! This girl is soooo cute and just the sweetest thing. I am so obsessed with her! She's on a forage-based diet and has one of the shiniest, softest coats I've ever felt! Paige Koch got herself a gem 💕

THIS THIS THIS!! I promise if your horse is fidgety, pawing, or mouthy, I do not care. I'm
going to just move with them or take a step back and let them process. A lot of times these behaviors happen before big releases so please don't apologize or feel bad. 🫶🏻
