Just a few horse/bodywork/horse keeping related phrases I use almost every day on my equine bodyworker job. What are some phrases you use on your job every day?

How do I know the bodywork is working?

Horses speak through their bodies. At first, you’ll see fidgets—like chewing on the rope or swishing the tail. These are signs of tension releasing. Then comes the shift: a leg softens, the tail lowers, the whole body exhales into calm. Each change tells me the nervous system is letting go, and the horse is finding comfort. This is the language of release, and it’s how I know the work is truly helping.

👉 Want this kind of release for your horse? DM me "COMFORT" to get your horse feeling comfortable.

You're Horse’s Mystery Lameness? Start Here 👇

Let’s talk about one of the most overlooked muscles in the entire equine body: the psoas muscle.

What the Psoas Muscle Actually Is:
The psoas is a deep core muscle that sits along the spine and attaches into the pelvis and hind limb. It’s a major player in:

•Hind-end engagement
•Stride length
•Collection
•Transferring power forward
•Stabilizing the entire topline

When the psoas is tight, overworked, or guarded… nothing in the hind end fires the way it should.

Signs Your Horse Might Be Having Psoas Issues
Most owners don’t realize these little moments actually point to a deeper problem:

• Short, choppy strides behind
• Reluctance to pick up or hold a lead
• Difficulty backing up straight
• Crookedness in the canter
• Lumbosacral soreness
• “Mystery” hind-end lameness vets can’t pin down
• Trouble stepping under themselves
• Sudden attitude changes under saddle
• Tight, dropped, or braced topline
• Toe dragging or tripping behind

When the psoas locks up, the rest of the body has to compensate — and that’s when horses start throwing out those confusing behaviors that don’t match their clean radiographs.

Why It Happens:
• Poor saddle fit
• Weak core
• Overuse
• Imbalanced conditioning
• Deep footing
• Compensating for hock or stifle pain
• Rider imbalance
• Old injuries the body is still guarding

The Takeaway
If your horse feels “not lame, but not right,” there’s a good chance the issue lives deep in the psoas — not where the symptoms show up.

Want help figuring out if your horse’s psoas is behind their behavior or performance struggles?
DM me “PSOAS” and I’ll take a look at what might be going on.

This mare 🐴 gets really sore in her low back and hips during her cycle. That’s normal for a lot of mares—those hormones can make the whole back end tight and uncomfortable.

I used PEMF first to calm everything down and relax the deep muscles.
Then I added kinesiology tape to the spots that usually get tight: her low back, hip area, and the muscles that help her pelvis move.

The tape helps keep things loose, improves circulation, and stops her from tightening right back up after the session.

If your mare gets cranky, stiff, or sore during her cycle, this combo helps her feel way more comfortable.

When a horse even hints that something isn’t right, that’s where the real conversation begins.

That’s the heart of the Advanced Masterson Method techniques —working with the horse instead of pushing past their thresholds. Their blinks, breaths, shifts, and tiny tries guide every move. Instead of forcing a release, we wait for the body to offer one… and that’s when the really deep stuff finally lets go.

This approach is slower, softer, and way more honest.
And horses respond to that. Every time.

If your horse’s body is trying to say something, I’m here to listen.

I love patience poles… but not for horses.
People are the ones who need to slow down, breathe, and stop rushing an animal who’s already trying their best.

And before anyone comes for me — yes, I know horses can "move around" on a patience pole.
That still doesn’t make it good for them.

Here’s why:

Horses are designed for functional movement — forward motion, grazing posture, shifting freely, exploring, regulating their stress through motion. Walking tiny circles around a pole isn’t real movement. It’s restricted, repetitive, and tense.

Even with slack, they end up:

-bracing through the poll

-tightening the neck and topline

-hollowing the back

-loading joints unevenly

-pacing instead of releasing tension

-stressing because they can’t truly move away, look around, or decompress

A horse might look "patient," but what you’re seeing is usually frustration, bracing, or a low-level freeze response — not emotional regulation.

Patience poles don’t teach patience.
They just limit options.

And horses don’t need fewer options… they need more freedom to move, adjust, process, and feel safe.

Meanwhile, humans?
We’re the ones who rush.
We’re the ones who get impatient.
We’re the ones who want stillness from an animal built to move.

So yeah, I stand by it:
Patience poles for people.
Let the horse move.
Let the horse regulate.
And let the human be the one who learns how to slow down.

The moment you catch yourself saying, "Huh… that’s weird," 🤔your horse is already telling you something.

-A random head toss.
-A quick pin of the ears.
-A stiff bend to one side.
-A tiny kick-out at the trot.
-A sudden attitude that doesn’t fit their personality.

Those little changes?
They’re early warnings — the body whispering before it shouts.

Most "behavior problems" start as micro-signals of soreness, restriction, or discomfort in the body. When you know how to read them, you stop guessing… and start actually helping your horse feel better.

That’s exactly what I do.

I find the tension, release the restriction, and help your horse get comfortable again — so those weird little behaviors fade, and the horse you know shows back up.

If you’re noticing the small things, send me a message with "HELP" and I’ll take a look at what your horse may be trying to say.

If your horse flinches, pins their ears, nips at you, or holds their breath when you girth up — it’s not "attitude."
It’s their nervous system and fascia reacting to discomfort, restriction, or anticipation of pain.

A "girthy" horse isn’t being dramatic… they’re communicating. And when we listen, they start to trust the process again. 💛

Here are 5 high-value tips you can start using right now to make girthing more comfortable 👇

1️⃣ Warm up the fascia first
2️⃣ Don’t over-tighten when static
3️⃣ Wait for an exhale before tightening
4️⃣ Lift, don’t drag, the saddle
5️⃣ Stretch after tacking

Every small change you make helps their body feel safer — and that safety changes everything about how they move, breathe, and perform.

🐴 DM me the word "BODYWORK" if you’d like help creating a more comfortable, relaxed horse.

When a horse starts pinning their ears, tossing their head, refusing to go forward, or acting “hot”… it’s easy to label it as a behavior problem.
But here’s the thing — behavior is communication.

Most of the time, what we call "attitude" is actually their body trying to say something hurts.

Tight muscles, saddle fit, restriction through the poll or shoulders, even gut discomfort can all show up as "bad behavior."

Before correcting the reaction, pause and ask what’s causing it.
When you fix the tension or pain, the behavior almost always melts away.

👉 This is why bodywork, PEMF, and techniques like the Masterson Method aren’t just "spa days" — they’re the missing link between training and true comfort.

💬 DM me the word "behavior" if you’d like some help figuring out what your horse’s body might be trying to tell you.
