A quick update on what we've been doing as we move forward from our January. We will see you soon at the next trial!

Last time I visited this blog, I shared news that shook my world to its core: the sudden passing of my beloved Brew . Prior to that, I jumped on here with regul...

We're a little MIA, as we said goodbye to our own Brew this past week. They are never with us long enough, and an experience like this sure puts our time with them into perspective. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time. Godspeed to our sweetest Brewski.

"We spend so much time agonizing over decisions about what we do with our dogs. Should I enter that trial? Do I have time for that walk? Just do the things. In the end, you won’t regret what you did. You’ll feel a visceral ache for the things you didn’t do."

You’ll notice we changed themes on the blog this week, away from rehab and massage to a much more heartbreaking, worst-fear topic. My clients would walk barefoo...

“The great thing about muscles is they work as a team. If one can’t do its job properly, other muscles step in and do more work so the horse can keep moving. This works really well for short periods of time, but if this compensation persists for a long time, it leads to dysfunction and pain.”

Although this about horses, much of it applies to our dogs as well.

Horses are athletes and making sure their bodies are working optimally can be tricky. In this blog post, equine bodyworker, Katja Porenta, writes about the importance of keeping an eye on your hors…

What is proprioception? It's an important function, and something we can influence in the recovery process. Read more about it here:
