✨CONSISTENCY✨

I assign “homework” at every session. It is a combination of targeted stretches/exercises and general range of motion (ROM) work that I feel every horse should be doing.

With consistency and discipline on the owner’s part, huge changes can be seen in a short amount of time.

Often, we only want to enjoy the “fun” part of horse ownership like riding only, get too busy, are unmotivated by weather, or there are outside entities that say the work isn’t important. I’m here to tell you that it is incredibly important.

Sure, you ride your horse often so they are “in shape,” but are they flexible in a way that doesn’t compromise their joints or soft tissue? Is their spine mobile and healthy while having the strength to support a rider? Is their hind end working well with their front? There’s so much more to your horse’s performance and long term soundness/comfort than how often you ride them.

Groundwork and targeted exercises are a fantastic way to assess where your horse is now and work towards healthier movement.

This video is a great example that shows how quickly consistent work can take hold and transform your horse for the better.

In the “day one” video, you can see he is clearly uncomfortable:
-sitting while reversing
-struggling to keep his head lowered and back lifted
-uneven steps
-moving very slowly and unsure.

After just seven days (5 days of stretches and exercises), his body is much more comfortable with the exercise and all of the points above are improved upon.

Making the extra time for your homework will only make your horse perform and feel better in the long run. If you really want to see progress between bodywork sessions, it’s a must.

Taking a step back and doing it for your horse is 100% worth it, I promise!

I love a horse who communicates. ❤️

🐴Waking up underused muscles, releasing tension, and improving range of motion.

🐴Increase stability and flexibility so that the horse can build strength in a healthy way.

🐴Different strokes stimulate the tissue in different ways.

🐴Stretching during bodywork helps to tap into extra benefits and improved range of motion while the muscles and fascia are the most moldable.

I’ll have a few spots open in November for sessions, message me to book!

This mare started out very tense and painful through several of her top line and shoulder movement muscles. I use soft fingers to palpate and my fingers were curling while getting “stuck” over her immobile tissue. Massage was not making as much headway as I’d like, so I reached for my cups. Through cupping, proprioceptive movements, and stretches of the tissue, she softened right up and was a much happier girl. You can see there were areas that were still tender to work on, but she felt so much better afterward.

Cupping therapy to help relieve restriction.

This horse’s long back muscles were in spasm, causing a curvature to the right.

Cupping therapy to both sides, proprioceptive movements, and stretching helped to straighten out the curve.

Sometimes compressive therapies are not well accepted, effective, or the tissue is too sensitive. Cupping creates a “vacuum” that lifts the tissue and fascia instead of compressing it like other manual therapies. Decompressing these areas allows for increased blood and lymph flow, as well as decreasing tension and restriction. It is often very well accepted by horses in painful spasm or contraction.

I’ll post another video this week of a horse with an extremely painful and tight back that was helped with cupping therapy!

Slow and steady. Keep work sessions short, light, and focused on proper healthy movement. Build your young horses up for a long, sound riding career instead of a short one.

Every young horse develops on its own timeline, and their growth plates are a big part of that story. These soft areas of cartilage at the ends of bones are where growth happens and until they close, the bone isn’t fully mature.

Here’s a general guide:
• Knees usually close around 2 years old
• Hocks and fetlocks around 2.5 to 3
• The spine, neck, and withers can take until 5 or 6

That’s why slow, correct work early on matters. Light groundwork, short rides, and balance-building exercises help strengthen soft tissue and coordination without overloading immature joints.

Starting too hard, too soon doesn’t make a horse “tougher.” It can cause tiny amounts of damage that don’t show up until years later... stiffness, uneven growth, or early arthritis.

Good training builds a foundation, not just muscles. Taking it step by step now keeps them sound, strong, and confident later.

We had the whole barn to ourselves… one prepping for an upcoming race and his daily work load, the other enjoying the benefits of low level PEMF as a riding-obsessed kid’s horse.

You’ve gotta take care of the horses that care for you. 🐴💕
