Welcome to the retired life, Dew.
Happy to have you back home.

If you wanna go fast like Ricky Barbie, let’s chat about bodywork!
How is this different from pemf, chiro alone and other therapies? I focus on releasing fascia and trigger points through accupressure and massage to help alleviate your horses pain. Thus maximizing their full potential!
Multi horse discounts and I travel all over Texas!
I appreciate everyone whos asked me if I want a fan while working but PLEASE be advised this is how it feels with a fan directly on me 😂😂😂
✨Fascia release for the win today ✨
Noticeable tension from thoracic to lumbar section of this ponies spine and a slight rotation in SI.
Still a little bit of work to go but happy with the progress made today.

Felt cute, might stick with dressage 😂
But seriously, today was filled with a TON of lightbulb moments 💡
As some people know, I have an extra vertebrae in my spine that’s actually fractured. I’m “technically” not clear to ride since every time I would jump it would cause severe pain in my lower back and on the back of my pelvis. (Sorry doc, I just need this therapy 😂)
I have to say, after sitting in a dressage saddle I have ZERO pain. Maybe it’s the position of my pelvis in the saddle? Less pressure on my back? Who knows. But I’m HERE FOR IT! 👏👏👏
I have a lot to learn but I’m determined to get back to where I was, better than that actually. 🐎
Thank you Ms. Jennifer for taking your time to explain things to me and spark this love for dressage today. ❤️
Releasing the lower back, one Reiner at a time.
Tension is noticeable around the last rib and continuing into the hind end. This type of tension can cause an alter in stride, balance and ability to bend.
Have questions on how to alleviate this tension in between sessions? Just give me a call 😎
🚨LETS RELEASE SOME RHOMBOIDS 🐎🚨
Rhomboids are the deep muscle located at the top of your horses neck. The first part is located on the top of the neck at the cervical section and the second is located in the thoracic region near the withers.
The rhomboids are responsible for retracting, elevating and rotating the scapula. (Picking up and putting down the front leg)
When these muscles get tight it can alter your horses gate to short stride, become choppy in stride, along with the inability to lift and round its neck and free their shoulder movement. (Among a few others)
Since the rhomboids act as your counter balance to the horses movement this can be a cause of lack of strength in the hind end or hyperflexion of the neck due to the riders hands holding too much tension, which drives the horses neck downwards and the horse cannot move with proper self carriage.
Have questions? Let’s chat!
Upcoming availability this coming week!
San Antonio/ adkins/ La vernia / Boerne/ austin/ liberty hill will all be visited
Message me to get your ponies on the schedule 🐎
Services provided: accupressure, massage, fascia release, kt tape, red light, cupping, and more. 😉
✨before and after, reining edition ✨
With a heavy workload it’s very common for sport horses to get tense along the back with tension in glutes and hamstrings.
It’s important to keep your horses on a regular bodywork schedule to help avoid compensation and further any tension that could cause serious injuries down the road.
A little before and after for Percy’s session today.
When horses legs are cocked like this it typically indicates pain in or around the lower lumbar portion of the back, hip flexors, hamstrings and glutes.
After accupressure and going in to release the fascia, Percy is standing more comfortable.
Have questions on bodywork and how it works? Contact me!
Accupressure, massage, myofascial release, kt tape, and more!
Have questions or think your horse doesn’t need tension released? What if I told you it’ll help save $ on vet bills down the road. YEP!
Message me today to get on the schedule. *will be out of state next week**

Happy riding!
WE ARE A TEAM.
When I take on a horse and rider combo I want to know everything about you and your horse. That’s right, you too! As a rider you’re a very important piece to this puzzle. How do you hold yourself through turns? Are you light with your hands? Etc.
Did your horse just have an injury or a change in shoes, diet, work, job, environment?
I WANT TO KNOW!
I see each and every horse as my own and I give advice/suggestions as I would do for my own pony because I care. I want you and your horse to do the best in whatever you guys are working on.
I’m here to help whenever you’re ready.
I have been under the weather with covid this past week. Appointments will resume next week. I apologize for not responding to everyone asap as I’ve been sleeping as much as I can.
Wishing everyone a happy Tuesday and a wonderful ride this week 🐎

Let’s release those ✨pecs✨
Did you know the Posterior pecs (deep ascending or descending) are heavily affected by the girth and can cause horses to be “girthy”? Yep, that’s right! Those nasty little “tantrums” they throw when you tighten their girth don’t have to continue to happen!
Truth is, no matter what their work schedule is, every horse is at risk for having sore Pectorals as the Pecs are a major part in lifting their legs and absorbing concussion after a jump.
Want to know more or unsure if your horse “needs” bodywork? (Trust me, they do)
Send me a message!

When I was in massage school I had a teacher who told us the horses neck “wasn’t important to massage”. I remember looking at my classmates and wondering how we would be doing the best job we could while skipping the neck, where the balance is.
Thankfully, I didn’t listen to this misinformation and I’ve helped transform thousands of horses lives through releasing that fascia tension and resetting cervical vertebrae.
Does your horse feel unbalanced? Have tension when turning, jumping, running, etc?
Do you see knots in the neck or shoulder? Let’s chat.
I can guarantee it’ll help.
Tell me you’re a working mom, without telling me….
Onyx was the best girl during her bodywork session.
Does your horse show or work more than 4 days a week? Let’s chat about the packages I offer! Spots are filling up for March QUICKLY!

It is never “just a maintenance massage” like it’s not important to me because your horse isn’t “broken”.
No.
MAINTENANCE IS PREVENTION.
Too often I hear “well they don’t need bodywork because they’re not lame” I get it. But if you have a horse that’s working a lot or just coming back into work, you have to help off set the changes that are happening with their bodies. Changes that could slowly start to alter gaits because of being out of shape that slowly start building bad habits. .
Which ultimately leads to them being lame, many vets, corrective farriers, specialists, scopes, injections…(etc.) and no real solid answers on how to “fix” your partner.
Let’s avoid that headache and get AHEAD of the potential problem!
From now until January 1st take $20 off your ponies sessions!

Myth: you only get stronger at riding by doing it more Sure, there’s some truth behind “doing it more, you get better/stronger at it.” However, spending time in the saddle isn’t the only thing that’s going to help your Riding. Focusing and improving on your physical fitness outside of the saddle is EXTREMELY important. Not only for you, but for your horse as well. This doesn’t have to mean you run 5 miles a day or go for the next bodybuilding world title. But simply improving areas to improve your stability and control will help give clear and effective aids in the saddle. And save your horses from compensating from our “weaker sides”! Yes, when we have a weaker side it gets transferred to our horses! Thus causing that well known “domino” affect you hear me talk about oh so often. Comment below or pm me if you would like to get a list of exercises to help you AND your horses! Happy riding. #horses #massagetherapy #texas #horsesofinstagram #bodywork #fitness #exercise #dressage #jumping #western #english
Releasing pecs and all the fascia for Mr. Quinn. ❤️ . . If your horse is sensitive when grooming around their pecs, or pinning their ears when you go to tighten their girth you may need to address pec soreness. Their pectoral muscles extend past what you see on the front of their chest and can easily get sore as the shock absorption goes up through their feet and into their chest. . Have questions?

For everyone who commented on my last video saying that that horse was just “shaking flies off”… . Here’s a completely different horse at the very start of our bodywork session. 🙃 .

When horses have these muscle spasms like this it indicates a pain response. This horse palpated with a pain response around the withers which is also the saddle support region of the body. Knowing the signs and what to look for not only help your horses longevity but also help keep you and your horse safe. When horses are in pain they “act out”. Some Examples of uncomfortabiloty include (but are not limited to) bucking, rearing, biting, being girthy and sensitive to light touch like this. This is also a good example of why it’s important to stay on a consistent bodywork schedule so we can stay ahead of any possible issues. On top of regularly checking saddle fit. Have questions? Let’s chat! OR send me some photos/videos of your horse and I’ll see what I can find. #kbest #equinebofywork #horses #mississippi #tennessee #texas #la #horsesofinstagram #hunterjumper #english #massage #accupressure #kttape
I can’t tell you how many calls I get a week with people asking me if I trim or shoe horses. When I inform them I do bodywork 9/10 times they respond with “oh well my horse doesn’t need that” which leads me to ask, why keep your farrier on a regular schedule and not your bodyworker? Especially when we work closely together. . In reality, all horses can benefit from bodywork. . Keeping your horse on a monthly schedule also acts as a “check in” to keep up with any muscular skeletal changes that can happen fast, and pretty easily. Some examples include ⚡️slipping/ playing in the mud ⚡️getting up “wrong” ⚡️tripping/falling ⚡️changes in feet/shoes . Have questions on how bodywork can help your horses?
