No words needed… his letting us know exactly how he feels

08/09/2025

Fascia remembers.

Fascia remembers when your horse sat back multiple times as a yearling when learning how to tie.

Fascia remembers how much it hurt to walk on that suspensory injury.

Fascia remembers colic and how bad allergy season was.

So fascia adapts.
The fascia around their poll is thicker and denser, the nerve endings are now either overstimulated causing anxiety, or so restricted that restricted range of movement is normal.

Fascia allows them to stand comfortably with one leg slung under them and their entire shoulder and barrel rotated away from the leg with the suspensory - even though its been a year or two since the injury. Fascia makes sure to try and prevent that hurt again.

Overstimulated nerves from tight fascia after colic result in a horse learning to kick out when their stomach is touched. Same goes for the horse who has been coughing all spring and summer due to allergies.

Fascia is more than just a connective tissue in your horse's body.

It is designed to help your horse survive, only horses can't go to therapy and say "Every time I do something I am scared my body will hurt." So over the course of your horse's life their fascia will adapt to everything in their environment. The good and the bad. Fascia adapts and tells the body, "You can trust me to keep us safe." Even when the pain is long gone.

This is why bodywork and complementary care is vital. It is not a luxury. It is not a one and done. It is not a treat for your horse.

Many times it takes multiple monthly sessions to help horses let go of deep formed compensation patterns. Many times there are adjustments that need to be made to another part of their care. It is also why species appropriate care in the form of friends, forage and freedom are so important.

Horses in balanced herd groups often groom each other. This social bond not only is good for your horse's mental health - that grooming session helps to undo fascial tension.

Fascia needs movement to stay hydrated and healthy. And no, an hour of turnout and and hour ride is not enough. Think closer to at least 8 hours of turnout. Standing around, or even constantly turning in a stall, often creates tight, dehydrated, itchy or sensitive fascia. It can even lead to such high degrees of restriction it affects the horse's ability to move in the most correct ways.

Fascia needs forage. Well, your horse's gut does. And if your horse begins experiencing any organ discomfort, there is fascia... ready to swoop in, offer support and help your horse. But that is why your horse with uclers nearly kicked you in the stomach as you went to girth up. That pain travels thanks to the adaptions of fascia.

Fascia remembers the good and the bad.
So take care of it.

I am continually amazed by the results of fascial release. These photos are both before a session and a week apart!
A lot of credit belongs to this dedicated owner who kept up with her homework and has been doing a lot of work in between sessions.
For such a subtle technique there are a lot of big changes that can occur with each session bringing the horse closer to being in a balance and function state.

I am trying a booking system 😬
If you want the convience of jumping online, seeing availability and booking an appointment, now you can.
Obviously being a travelling business it will have its difficulties in organising people according to their locations, so I ask one favour. Keep an eye on the monthly calander I will pin to the top of the page to see where I’ll be. If I need to reschedule your appointment then I will contact before rescheduling.
If you have any feedback then please let me know, I’m excited to see how this goes ☺️

Horses for case studies found - now taking bookings for bodywork

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of attending an intro to fascial release clinic. It was amazing to see the differences in the horses over such a short period of time and application of one or two techniques. I am now needing to complete an externship on 3 horses for 3 sessions. These sessions need to be completed either weekly or fortnightly, spanning over a period of 3-6 weeks. If this interests you, please send me a message and we can discuss further 🙂
