Great techniques while waiting for the vet! Loved learning there was something I could do to help in the meantime🐴

Having this poster in your barn and learning how to apply the massage techniques before a colic emergency can help tremendously while waiting for the vet to arrive when an actual emergency arises. Be prepared, not panicked.
Massage is Not a replacement for veterinary care.
(What is pictured is not a full-size rendering. Only the first four steps are listed. Each poster is full sized and laminated - perfect for the barn environment.)

If only we could hold a conversation with our horses… some days would be a lot easier than others.
In certain ways they do communicate when something is not right, if they are happy, upset, etc. Listen to those signs and do the best you can to help them through it. They will thank you!

The cold laser has been such a helpful tool in my sessions. Here, it was used for poll sensitivity & had a very positive response!

📣I am excited to announce that I now offer Cold Laser Therapy!📣

What is cold laser therapy? The light from the laser gets absorbed by the tissue and causes a reaction within the cells. The cells become stimulated and regenerate more rapidly, targeting the root cause of the pain!

Cold laser therapy helps to reduce pain, decrease inflammation & swelling, and accelerate healing to name a few! Arthritis, back pain, kissing spines, tendon/soft tissue injuries, open wounds, muscle strains, and abscesses are a few of the conditions that can benefit from cold laser therapy!

What are some ways your horse is showing you they are enjoying their bodywork session?

A few examples include: Yawning, Licking, Chewing, softened eye, sleeping, stretching, and intestine/gas movement!

Not every horse will show the “typical” signs of enjoyment during their session. Some horses don’t even release until after their session, when they are alone. Bodywork sessions are not a one size fits all method. I love getting to see the personalities and the different ways my clients show they are happy 😊

The connection with a horse after just one session is amazing. I always start my massages with a hello & an introduction and always end them with a thank you. By the end I can always see the horses saying thank you back❤️
