Miss Socks enjoying her morning massage. She's a lesson horse, so if anyone deserves a bodywork session, she does! β€π΄β€
Each one expresses themself in a different way. This girl had no problem letting me know I'd found a good spot. πβ€π΄β€

Lou Lou O'Daniel's pre-race session
Lou Lou enjoying her pre-race massage today at the Ag Park Barrel Racing Series. She then ran her best yet pole time! Yay Team O'Daniel! β€πβ€
Digger's session
What a way to wrap up a session and a lovely, sunny Sunday morning. Great visit with one of my favorite families and Digger expressing appreciation for her massage. The good Lord has blessed me with this work. β€π΄β€
I just had THE BEST day with Bruno! Yes, I'm always excited when I see improvements in my equine clients, but today was special. So special I was a little teary eyed and had to give him a big hug at the end.
Bruno has been somewhat skittish and wary of me, and I understand that because I'm the one finding the painful spots. Today I think he figured out that I'm also the one making the painful spots feel better. So many huge yawns, sighs, licks and chews, and even a couple of 'downward dog' yoga stretches! He was calm and agreeable and at times half asleep. Such a pleasure to work on. It was a happy heart day!

This is Annie, an 8 year old Quarter Horse mare I've been working on. She is very expressive and appreciative when I work out the sore spots! I enjoy these moments so much. β€π΄
Spirit is a brand new client. He was such a pleasure to work on because this darling boy shows his appreciation with nuzzles. Thank you, Nicole, for having me out to work on this guy. Looking forward to seeing him again soon! β€π
Video 1 - During the first massage session.
I had the pleasure of working on this young driving mare last week. During the massage she began exhibiting these tremors and shakes in her leg. The owner and I were concerned about her and we scheduled another session. Determined to figure this out and help her, I began doing some research and consulted with the expert instructors in equine massage at Midwest Natural Healing for Animals. I was set on helping this mare as she is a young, strong, and good natured girl, and I looked forward to trying new techiques at our next session.
