I have no idea where my computer mouse is... because you don't use those sitting on the couch. 😂 We found the perfect table to make into my desk while antiqueing yesterday. Once this room is organized better I will show you more of my "office".

Before: I was a pretend business owner.
Now: I am official.

Just kidding, but this does make these session notes so much easier to focus on!

I just returned from a week in Georgia at my second clinic! What an experience! I am so blessed to be able to pursue such groundbreaking equine bodywork and be surrounded by passionate, knowledgeable professionals!

It is truly amazing to watch the horses body change from asymmetrical and disproportionate to symmetrical, balanced, and fluid through Christy's guidance. I can't wait to put this into practice!

Thank you for opening your home and sharing your knowledge with us!

How can bodywork help you achieve your riding goals for 2025? Simply put; sore, tight, or restricted muscles can decrease joint range of motion. When one joint begins to suffer, horses develop compensation patterns... those compensation patterns lead to difficulty picking up leads, trouble bending, head tossing, crookedness, general unhappiness to do their job, etc. This then leads to rider frustration, poor performance, and worst case scenario; lamess further down the road due to improper loading of joints, tendons, and ligaments. Is one bodywork session a fix all? Definitely not. Prevention is continuous. Rehab can take weeks to months. However, improving neurofascial connection and proprioception throughout the body can be achieved in MINUTES. Thus, bodywork is an excellent first step to achieving optimal performance and meeting new goals! Link in bio for more information!

I had my personal massage therapist tell me the other day, "we don't realize how restricted we are or how much pain we're in; until it's gone." Then, when it is gone, you are more motivated, happy, and more active... the list goes on! How does this apply to your horse? Do they seem sore or tense? Maybe a change in attitude or motivation? Have they been STRESSED lately? Because oh my, that will make your body react and hold onto tension patterns without realizing it! Jason VonGerichten, an instructor at the Soma Institute, writes “Sports Massage, at its essence, is a way for athletes to reconnect with their bodies, to put aside all other worries and simply focus on being their best….it is very clear to anyone who has ever played a sport, run a race or even just played darts in a bar that if your mind is distracted you will not be as competitive.” Whether we realize it or not, our brain is having to process and work through those tension and pain patterns corrupting the brain pathway to optimal performance! Routine bodywork can be such an incredible addition to your horses' program. It truly has an endless list of benefits that I would be glad to share with you and your equine partner!

Breathing in the sunshine and letting all the tension go. Happy Sunday! ⛅️ That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. Ecc. 1:9

Freeing your equine from compensation patterns, stiffness, soreness, tension, and promoting relaxation through HANDS ON bodywork and massage....let's do this! ✨️

What to expect from a session with me! ▫️Gait analysis, muscle, conformation and pain assessment. ▪️45-60 minutes of bodywork and massage specifically geared to improve your horses athletic performance. ▫️A second evaluation to note areas of change and improvement. ▪️ A thorough, yet simple session report for your records. ▫️ Recommendations for stretching and strengthening! Checkout my website for a more in-depth explanation of what I offer and how it may benefit your equine athlete!

Strength. Flexibility. Power. Soundness. Balance. Suppleness. Coordination. Stability. ➡️ That's our goal! ⬅️ These are the things that make a great athlete!

I will share more of what we learned as the weeks go on and how this new method of bodywork can benefit your equine athlete!
