Flourish Equine Bodywork

Equine posture IS important! I talk about it all the time with my clients and assess posture at each appointment. If you horse can’t/won’t stand square, it tells a lot about their comfort level. This is a great article on it. ⬇️

New research explores what a horse’s posture says about his health. Horses may adopt different stances to compensate for discomfort.

Hi, I’m Jen. 👋

I’ve loved horses and problem solving my whole life. So, when my kids were no longer babies and it was time to start saving for those teenage years, it only made sense that I would opt out corporate life and start an equine bodywork business!

Over the past few years of running Flourish Equine Bodywork, I’ve collected a number of skills to aid in my mission of helping horses feel their best. I also collected one of my very first clients, Artie. You’ll see a lot of him on my instagram feed because he’s a constant work in progress (and also my ❤️ horse).

Oh yeah, I also run the equestrian program at WinShape Camps because I have a soft spot for Jesus and college kids. 😜

Think we’d be a good match? Reach out and let’s chat!

This summer, I began the process of adding some new, amazing skills through Zenma Wellness and the incredible Christy DiColla. These skills allow me to provide intervention for common patterns I see in horses - asymmetry in a horse’s body and imbalances during movement.

Both of these can contribute to issues such as “leaning on the bit”, struggling to pick up one canter lead, short-strided at the trot, and even undesired behaviors under saddle.

I’ve already started implementing some of these skills into my sessions with great results! If you are a current client, you’ll see some new techniques in your horse’s session very soon! ❤️

So impressed with the changes in this guy in just one bodywork session! Greater symmetry in the shoulders and hindend equals greater mobility. 💪🏻

Things have been incredibly busy the past few weeks and I’ve loved every minute of it. From taking care of my monthly clients, training staff in Orlando for Winshape Camps, and working a saddlebred show and meeting some amazing horses and people…my heart is full! ❤️

Now, who do you know who has aspirations to teach riding lessons or run a barn someday? I still have amazing summer opportunities with WinShape Camps I need to fill!

Super excited to announce that I am taking over the Equestrian program at WinShape Camps! If you are a client, don’t worry! I am not going anywhere, as this is a part time position and you are still a top priority. ❤️

With that being said, who do you know (ages 18+) that loves horses, kids, & Jesus and is ready for the summer of a lifetime because I’m hiring!

I had so much fun teaching dynamic mobility exercises “aka carrot stretches” to a lovely group of hard-working volunteers at Trinity Rescue and Equine Sanctuary this morning. You can tell these ladies really care for the horses and want to help them live the best lives possible.

Can’t wait to see some improvements in these horses thoracic sling muscles! 🥰
