So lucky to be apart of Fuzzy Wuzzys healthcare team, not only when she was on the track with her awesome trainer, but also as she takes the step to a second career and to compete at the RRP this Oct with another wonderful client of mine!

Feature:

Everyone meet Fuzzy Wuzzy, a four-year-old Kentucky-bred mare by multiple graded stakes winner Palace and out of Dun In One, by Dunkirk. Her pedigree also includes City Zip, End Sweep, Unbridled’s Song and Cattle Thief. She sold for just $3,500 at the Keeneland Association November Breeding Stock Sale. She went on to make four starts and earn $2,227 on the track. Her best efforts were sixth place finishes at Timonium and Charles Town.

“Fuzzy” made her final start in October of last year. She is now co-owned by Chelsey O’Brien, an Ambassador for The Western Thoroughbred. Chelsey trains horses out of The 1789, a boarding and lesson facility in Berryville, Virginia. Fuzzy is one of two horses that she plans to take to the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover at the Kentucky Horse Park. They will compete in Barrel Racing and possibly either Ranch Work or Western Dressage!

If you would like to see your Thoroughbred featured on our page, send us a message! Please include your horse’s Jockey Club registered name, quality photos, and information about their off-track career. Note that horses with a body condition score of 3 or less will not be posted.

Couldn’t be more proud of my client and friend Chelsey O'Brien! Can’t wait to see her, Peppy, and Fuzzy do big things this year at RRP!!

She’s back! 🎉
Fan favorite Chelsey O'Brien returns to OTTB on Tap—and this time, she has two OTTBs headed for the 2025 Retired Racehorse Project Makeover.

In our latest episode, Chelsey introduces Peppy and Fuzzy, two Thoroughbreds with totally different personalities and potential. We talk about building confidence as a trainer, balancing barn life and motherhood, and why she's so passionate about giving back as ambassadors for organizations like Pastured Place and The Western Thoroughbred.

This one’s full of heart, perspective, and plenty of laughs. Don’t miss it. 🎧

A lot of people compare PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy) to shockwave (extracorporeal shock wave therapy) but in reality they are very different therapy modalities!

Although both modalities can treat a multitude of conditions and can be used in conjunction with each other to enhance healing and recovery they are very different…. here is how ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🧲PEMF: This therapy modality uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate cells and help to improve their function. PEMF can be applied to large areas of the body or zeroed in to treat specific points if need be. PEMF is found to have a calming effect and is non-invasive and should never require sedation!

🔉Shockwave: This therapy modality uses acoustic waves to create micro trauma within the tissue. It can stimulate blood flow and is mainly used for the treatment of chronic conditions. Shockwave can be painful and may need the use of sedation during treatment.

Both modalities are wonderful tools to use and both are beneficial if used correctly! If you suspect your horse would benefit from either modality always consult your trusted veterinarian to discuss options before proceeding with treatment.

Did you know that the direction in which kinesiology tape is stretched and in turn recoils, plays a roll in what exactly the tape is doing to the body?! 💭

There a multiple ways to apply k-tape, multiple ways to stretch the tape, different amounts of stretch, and so on. When I am about to apply an application to a horse I want to know, “are we engaging this muscle, relaxing this muscle, or relieving discomfort in a specific area?” The answer to that question will tell me what direction to stretch my tape…
here’s why!⬇️

👉🏼If the tape is stretched and the recoil is going WITH the muscle fibers of the muscle we are treating, this application will RELAX the muscle!!

👈🏼If the tape is stretched and the recoil is going AGAINST the muscle fibers, we are promoting ENGAGEMENT of that muscle!!

👉🏼👈🏼 If we apply a “star” application and the recoil is concentrated and pulling into one specific area (SI, TMJ, scar tissue, etc) we are helping to alleviate discomfort or pain in that specific area!

These above examples are not the only ways to apply k-tape but I personally think understanding the stretch your practitioner puts on the tape and why is one of the coolest parts of the whole taping process!! 🤯

Good luck to two of my regular clients, Farrin Shaffer and Caroline Monaco, on their horse trials next weekend! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Last week I did a post about what I wish horse owners would START doing for their horses so this week we obviously have to do what I wish horse owners would STOP doing….
These might ruffle some feathers 🫣

As a full-time equine bodyworker I wish horse owners would
-Stop starting and stopping a million supplements and not allowing enough time to see a change.
-Stop assuming your horse can’t have stomach ulcers!
-Stop basing your saddle fit off the sweat marks!
-Stop assuming injections will solve all your problems.
-Stop ignoring pain signs and chalking it up to quirky behavior!
-Stop putting your horse on anti-inflammatories instead of getting to the root cause!
-Stop neglecting teaching ground manners!
-Stop going to TikTok or YouTube or wherever you people go for horse husbandry advice!!!!
I could go on and on….😵‍💫

If you work in the equine industry what would you add to the list??

MagnaWave's PEMF therapy supports cellular recovery in performance horses by reducing inflammation and boosting blood flow. It's why so many jockeys and trainers rely on it after intense races at Churchill Downs & All over the world. 🌎 🏇⚡

I work on average about 20 horses per week. Horses ranging from imported sport horses, breeding stallions, racehorses, trail horses, and everything in between.

Along with the wide range of horses is a wide range of horse owners!! What are a few things I wish horse owners would START doing when it comes to their horses?? 🤔
-Start allowing their horse regular turn out WITH FRIENDS!!!
-Start getting their tack fitted or at least checked regularly!
-Start putting their horses on a regular farrier schedule with a COMPETENT farrier!
-Start implementing productive groundwork into their horses routines.

What is something you have started doing with your horse(s) that you have seen a positive impact on their health, behavior, or overall well-being??
