Yawning isn’t boredom here—it’s the nervous system shifting into release mode. When a horse feels safe, supported, and free to let go, you’ll see these big, rolling yawns as tension patterns unwind from deep in the body.

If your horse could benefit from this kind of light‑touch, release‑based bodywork, I’m always happy to chat. My DM's are always open!

My goal is to help you catch pain before it becomes a performance or behavior problem. If your horse scored 3 or more, it might be time for a body check.

If you want a second set of eyes on what you’re noticing, my DMs are always open.🙂

You might not always hear what you want to hear — but you’ll always hear what your horse needs❤️.

My job is to give honest, no-fluff feedback with your horse’s comfort, movement, and long-term well-being as the priority.

I’m here to advocate for the horse first.
If that kind of honesty isn’t your thing, I’m probably not your girl — and that’s okay.

The horse always comes first — even when the truth is uncomfortable.

None of this is extreme.

It’s just listening sooner… and supporting the body so the horse can actually do their job.

If something feels off with your horse and you’re being told it’s “just behavior,” trust that instinct.
That’s usually where the body is asking for help.

DM me "BODY" if you want support figuring out what your horse might be telling you.

Hind end issues don’t usually show up as "my horse’s hind end hurts."

They show up as things like:
• Trouble stepping under
• Stiff or uneven transitions
• Rushing, running through the bridle, or refusing to go forward
• Difficulty picking up or holding a lead
• Sore stifles, SI, or a tight lumbosacral area
• Bucking, swapping leads, or losing impulsion

That’s where PEMF and kinesiology taping can be a game changer when used together.

PEMF helps by improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and supporting muscle recovery deep in the tissues. When the muscles of the hind end—glutes, hamstrings, stifles, SI, and low back—can actually relax and receive better blood flow, the horse can move more freely and evenly.

Kinesiology taping then helps support that change. The tape provides gentle neurological feedback, encourages better muscle activation, reduces compensation patterns, and helps the horse maintain improved movement between sessions. It’s not forcing anything—it’s guiding the body to move more efficiently.

When the hind end feels better, everything improves:
✔️ Better engagement
✔️ More willingness to go forward
✔️ Smoother transitions
✔️ Less resistance and “behavior” that’s really the body talking

So many hind end problems aren’t training issues… they’re communication issues from a body that’s struggling.

If this sounds like your horse, you’re not alone—and there are supportive, non-invasive ways to help them feel and move better.

DM me "HIND END" and let’s talk about what your horse is telling you 💛

I wanted to expand on why this horse felt less spooky. Also, why just the opposite can happen and your horse not wanting to move forward. This is what happens in our horses🐴:

When a horse is spooky, doesn’t want to go forward, or feels like they’re about to run through you… it’s usually not a training issue. It’s their body.
Pain and tension put a horse’s nervous system on edge. Everything feels louder and more intense, so they react faster and think less. That “spooky” feeling? That’s a horse who doesn’t feel settled or safe in their own body.

Some horses protect themselves by saying, “Nope, I’m not moving.” Forward hurts, so they resist, balk, or feel lazy. Others do the opposite — they rush, bolt, or ignore your aids because movement feels like relief. Speed helps them avoid using sore or tight areas.

When a body can’t move freely, balance gets weird. And when balance feels off, confidence drops. That’s when you start seeing spooks, rushing, stopping, or big emotional reactions that don’t seem to match the situation.

Here’s the part I really want you to hear:
Horses don’t separate behavior from the body. We do.
To them, discomfort feels like danger — so their response is always physical and emotional.
That’s why when you address tension, restrictions, and help calm the nervous system, the “behavior” often softens without ever correcting the behavior itself.
Most of the time, your horse isn’t giving you attitude.
They’re asking for help — the only way they know how.

This handsome guy's trouble stepping under himself showed up as sore stifles and some bucking. When the lumbosacral area can’t move freely, the hind end has a hard time doing its job and the body starts to compensate.

Today was about slowing things down, calming his nervous system, and helping those deeper areas soften so movement can feel easier again.

If any of this seems familiar for your horse, you’re not alone. Sometimes small changes in the body explain the big things we see under saddle.

I’m always happy to talk things through and help you decide what support might be most helpful 🤍

Such a good boy 🤍
This sweet, quiet 2-year-old, Coal, just hauled all the way from Idaho, and even though he handled it like a pro, his body definitely felt that long trailer ride.

Today was his very first bodywork session and it was all about letting his body decompress after hauling — all the standing, balancing, and bracing adds up, especially for a young horse.

This kind of work is great after trailering because it helps them:
• release tight, sore areas
• settle the nervous system
• relax and feel more comfortable again

This isn’t your average massage — it’s a gentle, full-body session that helps your horse release tension in their muscles, fascia, and nervous system so they can really unwind.

Long trailer rides affect the body beyond just muscle soreness — fascia and the nervous system are involved too. A session after hauling can help everything soften and come back into balance.

I think we got the seal of approval from Coal on today's deep tension release and nervous system bodywork session!🙌🥰

Something I see all the time…

If your horse:
• Has trouble picking up a lead
• Drags toes behind
• Hesitates to step under
• Has a hind end that feels flat or disconnected
• Resists upward transitions

A groin check-up is needed.

I know everyone jumps straight to hocks, stifles, or SI (and sometimes those do matter), but this area gets overlooked all the time.

Some little clues I see when the groin is tight:
• Leads that feel inconsistent
• That flat, disconnected hind end feeling
• Toe dragging or short steps behind
• Resistance when you ask for more forward
• Transitions that feel harder than they should

This area works nonstop. It helps stabilize the pelvis, guides the hind leg forward, and powers movement. When it’s tight, the whole system has to compensate.

Once it’s released, horses often feel smoother, more willing, and easier to ride — without having to push or micromanage.

Reading this and thinking ‘yep… that’s my horse’? DM "GROIN".
