Why I Use BEMER Therapy After Massage:
At PulseStride, I’m always looking for ways to optimize recovery and performance—which is why I ALWAYS pair massage therapy with BEMER therapy for your horse.

So, why BEMER? Here’s what it does:

🔹 Reduces post-work muscle soreness
🔹 Promotes deep relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and digest” state)
🔹 Clinically shown to increase microcirculation, enhancing blood flow and allowing the body to flush out waste products more efficiently

💡 When used after bodywork, BEMER helps reinforce the effects of massage—keeping your horse more comfortable, more relaxed, and ready for what’s next.

It’s a non-invasive, drug-free way to support your horse’s recovery and long-term wellness.

📅 Now Booking for August! 🐴💆
Don’t put your horse up sore after a long weekend of riding, hauling, or showing! Leaving them stalled and stiff can cause minor issues to turn into major ones over time.

Regular bodywork, paired with strategic recovery exercises, helps your horse:
✅ Stay loose and balanced
✅ Recover faster from intense work
✅ Prevent long-term strain or compensation
✅ Perform at their best—year-round

Whether you're gearing up for fall shows or just want to keep your partner feeling their best, now’s the time to get on the schedule!

🐴 Did You Know Horses Have Preferred Massage Areas?
Just like people, horses often have favorite spots where they love to be massaged—and their responses can be incredibly expressive.

Some will soften their eyes and lower their head when the poll or withers are released, while others may lean in with satisfaction during glute or hamstring work. These reactions not only reflect enjoyment but also highlight where tension may be stored.

✅ Common favorite areas include:
• The poll (top of the head)
• Withers and shoulders
• Hamstrings and glutes
• Chest and pectoral muscles
• Base of the neck

Observing these subtle responses helps guide personalized sessions and ensures your horse receives the most beneficial bodywork possible.

📩 Curious to learn what your horse’s favorite area might be? Let’s schedule a session and find out!

🌀 Why Schedule a Massage Before & After Competition? 🌀
Your horse deserves to feel their best—before they step into the arena and after they give it their all. Here are 10 powerful reasons to include bodywork in your show routine:

💪 Before Competition:
✨ Warms up muscles safely to prevent strain
✨ Increases range of motion for freer movement
✨ Reduces tension and pre-show nerves
✨ Corrects imbalances for better performance
✨ Optimizes biomechanics and coordination

🧘 After Competition:
✨ Flushes out lactic acid to minimize soreness
✨ Speeds up muscle recovery time
✨ Prevents post-show stiffness and inflammation
✨ Supports mental relaxation after high stress
✨ Catches minor issues before they become big ones

➡️ Whether you're chasing blue ribbons or just striving for personal bests, equine massage keeps your partner feeling strong, supple, and show-ready.

📅 DM us to book your pre/post-show session or to learn more about how massage fits into your horse’s performance plan!

✨ What a week! ✨

Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. I had the privilege of working with some truly incredible horses (and amazing owners) across Indiana and Illinois this week—many familiar faces, and some wonderful new ones too!

🗓 Here’s a little recap of where PulseStride traveled:
➡️ Monday – Crooked Creek Trails Horseback Riding in Royal Center, IN with sweet Macey.
➡️ Tuesday – Rosebud Ranch in Brookston, IN working on Bailey, Stix, Chex, Cooper, Beezie & Breezy. I also got to work on Willie at Jubilee Stables
➡️ Wednesday & Thursday – Camelot Farm in Oswego, IL where Eros, Pal, Tania, Davi, Spice, Christopher, Gloria, Thor, Romeo & Sullivan all got some TLC.
➡️ Friday – Red Oaks Ranch in Dyer, IN massaging Rumor, AJ, Dee & Huck.
➡️ Saturday – A quick trip to Beecher, IL to take care of Theodore!

Every horse is unique, and I’m so lucky to support their health, comfort, and performance. Thank you to all my clients—new and returning—for trusting me with your equine partners. 🩵
