Tis the season ‼️
FALL LAMINITIS ALERT!!!
The cool, crisp, sunny days of autumn, sometimes called "football weather," change the chemistry of pasture grasses, raising levels of sugars that can trigger laminitis. Also at this time of year hormone fluctuations increase the risk of laminitis in horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID).
Approach fall pastures just as you do new spring growth:
If your horse has any risk factors for laminitis, consider putting a grazing muzzle on him full-time or moving him to a dry lot until growth has stopped for the year.
Keep a close watch on other horses as well.
Take any signs of footsoreness very seriously.

Rest assured knowing each horse is treated as an individual.
What does that mean? It means regardless if your horse is a pasture puff, or riding the circuit every weekend, regardless if they are worth 5$ or 50,000$, regardless if your horse lives in a perfect facility with amazing footing, or in a field with a shelter in it, your horse is being treated with respect, dignity, with a care plan based on the horses individual needs the same way every other horse I work on is. Some horses may need more work on their hind, while others need more more on their limbs, every horse is an individual.
When I come to work on your horse, it is a judgement free zone, I am just happy you are giving your horse the care it needs, we are their advocate!

I’m thankful majority of my clients are on the ball about their horse’s behaviour and as soon as they notice a subtle sign they’re on the phone with me, but it’s always a good reminder to not sweep poor behaviour under the rug. It’s easier (and cheaper) to prevent rather than react!!!!! Maintenance is key 😉

See for yourself 👇 A little background, this horse started to have a hard time bending, is heavy on the forehand, trailered 2x down dirt roads this past week.

YES this is the same horse!!! Crazy what powerful, yet non invasive, drug free therapy that PEMF delivers to our horses!

Health is in the tail Did you know you can get an understanding on your horses health and well-being, just by paying close attention to their tail? Have you ever noticed how your horse naturally carry’s its tail? Is it laying flat and centred? Is it off to one side? Is it rubbed out? These are clues to your horses health! Below are a few ways horse communicate through their tails! * A rubbed tail could mean there is some internal issues going on, if your horse is rubbing his tail, has bald patches, this could be a sign your horse has parasites, or could mean your horse has sweet itch (an allergy to the saliva of some small bitting flies). * A swishing tail can mean your horse is irritated, unhappy, or in pain. If there is no obvious flies bothering him, and your horse is consistently swishing his tail, this is a common indication that something is bothering him. * If your horse Is holding his tail to one side, this can be an indicator of back pain, irritation under the tail, or injury. Horses can also hold their tail to one side out of excitement, but this is usually accompanied with the horse flagging its tail, running and even snorting, once the horse is calmed down, the tail should go back to a relaxed centre position. * If you own a grey horse, the tail may be the first place you find a melanoma, melanomas affect roughly 80% of grey horses over the age of 15. If you have noticed a sudden change in your horses tail, it is encouraged to consult with your veterinarian as your horse is likely trying to tell you something Enjoy this video of my sweet girl flagging her tail as she struts her stuff!

When your clients send you updates and you can tell right away they’ve been doing their homework! Doing your homework is essential in order to get the most of your horses massage!
🔮The wonders of massage 🔮 I often think of massage as miracle work, although it’s not a cure all and problems aren’t 100% better after 1 visit, massage has so many benefits that can have effects mentally and physically on the horse! When I first met Keeper, he was in some obvious discomfort during the gait analysis, and was dragging his hind leg. Today, I received this video and although it isn’t perfect, it is definitely progress! I think we can all agree that Keeper is looking fantastic and seems to be feeling good! Seeing these videos and hearing clients give feedback is what drives me to continue doing what I do! Thanks Cheyenne for this lovely video ♥️
❓is yawning a sign of release in horses? ❓ Yes! Yawning is a sign of a horse releasing tension that they have been holding onto! Massage has a meditation/sedation effect on horses, so you will often see them licking profusely, chewing, yawning, head lowered, glazed eyes and a droopy lip, these are all signs your horse is enjoying their massage! Some horses benefit just from the meditation/sedation effects a massage provides them, if you have a horse who is high anxiety, maybe a rescue, or one who is on stall rest and has ants in their pants, this can really help take some ease off and allow them relax. Horses are prey animals, and naturally carry the fight or flight response, and with a massage, a switch turns on a relaxation response. Regular massages allow a horse to feel lighter by carrying decreased amounts of tension throughout them, allowing them to move freely also. If you are wondering if your horse could benefit from a massage, feel free to reach out Below is a video of Levi who I had the pleasure of working on releasing some tension throughout his back!
