Great horses aren’t built in an arena only and they aren’t built in 30-60 days. Developing a great horse is a journey!

Training, growing, and developing mentally mature horses is a multifaceted process. A well rounded horse isn’t made limiting them to one working area or riding discipline. Expose them to everything you can But give them that exposure with kindness and patience.

Guide them thru new experiences with confidence Allow them time to process. Give them breaks to regroup and move forward. Listen to the subtle clues that they are reaching their limit.

Spending time with your horse to build that trust and confidence will be so rewarding long term.

Here’s a few pictures from Ellie’s first trail ride. She did great. A turkey flew out of the weeds into her face We encountered some mud, culvert pipes and ditch crossings. Was Ellie confident in all these things - no but she trusted me and when I asked her to move on she did. By and far she stayed relaxed and gave me her best efforts for the entire 5 miles. This mare is going places!

From a fellow body worker. She’s so correct about this!

I CANT MAKE ANY PROMISES..

In order to truly make changes in regard to a horses body comfort a LONG list of other influences must be considered and managed well.

Equine Bodywork is just one piece of the puzzle and it will not FIX:

+management mishandling
+nutritional influences
+hoof related issues
+social/emotional stress
+dysfunctional posture
+training/tack interference
+dental imbalances
+spinal misalignment

ALL of these things can have a major influence on overall wellness and must be addressed accordingly to each horses individual needs.

I get some sideways looks when I suggest taking a look at one or more of the above considerations when trying to help an owner track down the cause of their horses body soreness…

It is NEVER from a place of judgement and ALWAYS from a place of concern and genuine desire to help educate the importance of our horses needs.

I want to be sure my clients have realistic expectations of what my service can provide if any of the above issues arise.

When we all work as a team to give the horse the most species appropriate attention-things like body soreness reduce if not go away completely!

WIN! Today I discovered a GREAT WAY to clean saddlepads. I don’t wear the same dirty socks everyday and horses shouldn’t have to ride with stiff dirty saddle pads.
