During this heat wave or any strenuous summer activities, it’s important to hose down your horses, be sure to focus on these key areas!
💧Jugular Vein(Neck groove)
💧Femoral Artery(Inner thigh of hind limbs)

These areas are close to the skin allowing to cool down circulating blood quickly to lower body temperature in a jiffy!
But you must Not forget to scrape the water off once you’ve finished hosing!! If you do not scrape it you run the risk of the water creating an insulating layer (Not Good!👎)VS when you scape it which helps the water to evaporate furthering the cooling effects(Good!👍)
💧*A Rubbing alcohol/Water dilution (50:50 or 25:75) also helps aid in quick cooling and evaporation if you’re in a pinch, works great for cooling down legs!*

Hello Everyone! I wanted to discuss a few updates:

💙 First, starting July 1st we will be introducing a referral program! I truly appreciate my clients and wanted to find a way to pay it forward. For every client referral that books off your referral, you will receive $10 off your next session. (You must show proof of referral when they book, just so I can keep track!)
💙 Secondly, unfortunately due to the rise in costs of living and continued education costs I must raise our rates. ((This will NOT effect my Current clients❗️You will all remain at your current rate))
However, in effect July 1st for new clients we will be $95/session. We hope you understand this will be put towards our furthering of education to better you and your horse. Sessions as always run 60-90mins and conclude with a summary report.
💙 Lastly, With the price increase we would also like to introduce a ship in option! This will be Discounted prices and have additional options such as use of the Theraplate. As well as extended stay board options for horses requiring more frequent attention, rehab or multiple lighter/smaller sessions. Pricing is TBD based on your horses needs, but will cut costs down significantly. (Location: Westport, MA )

10 Things I’ve learned being a low-middle class Equestrian and later Entrepreneur:

1.) Where there is a Will there is a way:
I didn’t grow up having access to much of a riding school, which is fine! It helped me get gritty because, I had to fight tooth and nail to even be considered an “Equestrian”. So believe me when I say, no matter your circumstances if you want it bad enough you’ll get there in your way.

2.) (I hate this phrasing but..) There’s more than one way to skin a cat:
You don’t have to always follow the same methods as Mr. Fancy-pants-McGee… Just because their successful doesn’t mean you can’t become successful being yourself and doing it your own way!

3.) Nothing about horses is ever “Textbook”:
I’ve seen a lot of weird things and I still haven’t seen it all, but from what I have seen… I don’t think one bit has ever been normal. Horses have a unique way of keeping you guessing constantly, and it is ever humbling.

4.) It’s okay to part ways with a horse that isn’t the right fit:
I struggled for a while feeling like I was a failure for selling a horse, that we maybe got a handful of good rides together in almost 5 years. But ultimately I wasn’t her person, no matter how much I wanted to force it, it wasn’t meant to be. Some people stay in toxic relationships, and some stay in toxic horse ownership in fear of shame from other equestrians or themselves. I’m here to be your advocate to get out of that situationship, it’ll be okay!

5.) People that knew you before, likely will never see you as you are now:
This maybe be a tough one to relate to if your not an entrepreneur but I’ll give it go. I’ve learned that people that knew me when I was a wee little baby trying to barter chores for ride times, when my heels were flanking the horses and my hands were up by my chest… Those people will never see past my baby stage, they will never see the years of growth, improvement, knowledge and sweat that I’ve put in to be who I am now. And I’ve heard the same type of story from other entrepreneurs and even respected veterinarians encountering this phenomenon.
((Continued in Comments!))

6.) It’s okay to struggle and plateau, it’s literally the psychology of learning:
Okay maybe saying it’s literally the psychology of learning was a bit out of term, but you’ll get what I mean. Struggling is apart of learning and the more competent you become the more you’ll raise the bar for yourself and sometimes it just an appearance of plateau! But either way it’s all very much apart of the process. Perhaps Google the “Dunning-Kruger effect”. It’s quite a little rabbit hole but which may bring some closure.

7.) Imposter syndrome is real. And real weird to navigate:
Imposter syndrome is, put simply, a huge problem with self doubt and feeling of fear. Causing massive anxiety of your own intelligence and abilities, even while being more than capable or qualified. I don’t really have much advice on how to battle this but just know you’re not alone and you are absolutely capable!

8.) Some people will never have the patience to teach, those aren’t the people worth learning from anyways.
I’ve run into more than my fair share of people meeting me with the “you’ll never be a rider” stigma. And even if they had been right, that doesn’t mean I didn’t deserve the opportunity to be taught and to learn. And I’m glad the spite I had for them pushed me to be better. Those people changed my life for the better in way they never deserve credit for. And looking back with what I know now, I wouldn’t want to learn from them anyways, they’ve never amounted to anything or their methods are archaic. And I don’t ride as well as some of my peers, I’m always a step behind but I’ve also still come further than I ever thought possible before. I eventually found “my people”, my way and ultimately my niche in this community. And no it’s not as a rider, but I’m still every bit a qualified and competent “Equestrian”.

9.) Taking breaks are necessary:
This a hard one for us Equestrians, of every type. And I know it’s a hard pill to swallow but, yes you do in fact need to take care of yourself. And sometimes a break is absolutely the right answer. Breathe.

10.) My favorite: Don’t sell your saddle:
Taking a break can mean taking 20 minutes for lunch and sitting down rather than shoveling your food down while you’re cleaning stalls. Or sometimes we need longer breaks maybe a year to sort through your true self’s ambitions, or maybe 5 or 10 or 20 years to raise your family. But regardless of what your break entails, don’t sell your saddle. Horses are in your blood, you will always find your way back. 💙

“ Intuition • Noun : The ability to understand something immediately without need for conscious reasoning. “
📚🧠🫀
I’m sure you may still be wondering what this has to do with Equine massage so here goes my best attempt to encapsulate this innate ability.
No matter how much schooling or determination you may have, your growth in this field will be severely stunted if you lack intuitive feel. Horses are rarely textbook creatures therefore no amount of research can prep for the real life experiences in this field. You can know it all cover to cover and still fall short. Horses are extremely emotional and sensitive beings that feed off our energy, but we must also learn to be in touch with theirs. This is something we get very little schooling in, regarding both massage training and even just horsemanship/riding training. It’s often a lost art in many stables all together. And it’s very much an “art”. Something that isn’t easily taught, because it’s a not tangible. It’s feel. Having “feel” is more than just feeling muscle tension, more than an eye for lameness, and more than knowledge of anatomy. It’s intuitive. It’s knowing in your heart what you know to be true without any real sound reasoning, but just being present with the horse you’re working with and listening to all the subtleties of energy. Having intuition and learning to listen to it will be one of greatest challenges to overcome as a bodyworker, since there isn’t concrete reasons to back you, but it will make you a far more impactful practitioner.

EQUINE MASSAGE IS..! ✅✅✅

A form of manual therapy, that can benefit almost any horse regardless of age, discipline, or abilities. It aids in relaxation of mind and body. Relieving muscle tension and associated soreness, improving range of motion, circulation, and posture. Importantly reducing chances of injury, and I will always stress it’s much better to be proactive and use massage as a regular maintenance and prevention method!
Being a good massage therapist takes an incredible amount of time and commitment of learning from the horse outside of just a classroom setting. But it’s so worth the outcome when you get amazing clients that follow through and commit to the process of a better well being for their horses! 🫶✨

I am so grateful to be able to have this opportunity that you, my friends and clients alike, give me each and every day. I owe you all so much more than I could ever imagine.

Not every day is perfect - rainbows and sunshine- but everyday is an opportunity that would never have been possible without you.

This past year had its own unique challenges and lessons, but overall I would consider 2024 to have been a year worth honoring. So thank you to everyone who has been apart of it, and making it so!

With the conclusion of this weekends 3 days of Equine Dissection, I cannot Thank Lorre of Trinity Equine Services
And Kate of Happy Horse Sports Therapy - Kate Schaffer enough.

They both held utmost respect for Lucy, which is so important to me…

If you have any opportunity to learn or utilize either of them, I highly suggest it, practitioners or horse owners alike!

And of course thank you to my Lucy Goosey girl, your sacrifice has taught so many, and has been the farthest thing from in vain. I Feel at peace knowing you are no longer in pain and no one can ever hurt you again. Our time together was short but your memory and lessons will stick with me forever.

I would like to invite my clients to share this intimate experience of my dear beloved teacher Miss Mare. Many of you know her story, those that don’t I’d be more than welcome to share. But I hope this is a wonderful educational experience to honor her life and learn from the greatest teacher of all, the horse herself. 💜

The fall will be a busy exciting time for Trinity Equine Services. We have many 3-day dissection dates available. It is so exciting to have so many people interested in hosting these dissections and there is so much educational interest by professionals from all fields to take a look under the surface. There are 2 open dates listed now but there are 4-5 more dates and locations coming on line soon. https://trinityequineservices.com/events
