A few pictures from yesterday’s massages. I can’t believe I do this for work. I enjoy it and love it so much.
Seeing relief in these animals and peace of mind for their owners brings me such joy!

I went to do a few massages yesterday. While I was massaging his brother, this boy called out to me. He was so impatient for his massage. Then during his massage we definitely had to take a little break for some fun. This boy has such a funny personality 🤣 It’s always an adventure when I see him.

This is my personal horse which I’m rehabbing. Doing groundwork, ground poles and these butt tucks. This exercise helps strengthen the horse's core, improves hind end engagement, and can aid in building a stronger topline

Sweet little mare got her massage yesterday. She’s a “mature” lady at 27. So well behaved, didn’t even need to be tied. She was happy with a massage, a nap and a snack 🤣

Horses are extraordinary creatures and this girl Itchy is no exception. She is a healer! My husband Steve was holding her for me while I worked on her. He’s recovering from carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and Itchy could sense he was hurting. She was paying close attention to both hands, but more to the side he reported was hurting more. God knew what He was doing when he created these animals. I’ve been smiling all day thinking of what I witnessed today. I’ve been doing equine bodywork for several years now and they still manage to amaze me all the time! 💖

Today I had the privilege of working on these three beauties. Rio and Poncho I’ve worked on before and they were quite the gentlemen as usual. Dory was new and boy was that exciting 😳.
She has a tendency to pull back as I was warned about … and sure enough she did just that.

I didn’t want to tie her back up, so I called reinforcements 🤣 I called my husband to come hold her for me. He certainly didn’t sign up for this when he married me, but he was great at comforting Dory and I love him for that 💖

I could tell she was hurting and was scared. I listened to her. I worked on areas she was ok with first and didn’t push on areas she was uncomfortable with such as her head and neck.
Once I was able to gain her trust she allowed me to work on her poll, face, neck and crest. That was something I was so grateful for and honored to experience. 🙏

It is such an honor to work on these animals 🐴!
Today I took the time to massage our own horse Buckley. He’s new to us, I’ve massaged him a few times already. Today was special though, because it was the first time I could tell he really enjoyed it instead of being stoic. I felt a sweet connection with him that I hadn’t felt before. He gave me kisses throughout his massage … 🥰 Everything takes time, nothing is instantaneous 🙏

Poncho showed his gratitude for a well deserved massage 🤣

Went back to massage Rio. This boy is the the poster child for what massage can do for a horse. The first day I met him he was hard as a rock EVERYWHERE. I was limited on what and how much I could do with him due to his overall tightness and aching. I’ve seen him several times and we’re making so much progress. His mom even started riding him again! 😱🥳
I give all glory to the Lord 🙌, I always pray 🙏 over the horses I work on and I ask the Lord to use my hands to help these animals feel and function better … 💖
His doggy brother wanted to join in on the massage session (see last few pics) 🤣

Yesterday I worked on these two boys. They may look like the same horse but one has 4 white socks 🧦 while the other only has 1.

They both were tight in different areas. Both boys benefited for sure!
