Structural Integration, Fascia Release, Nerve Decompression, relaxation and strength exercises, PEMF Additional offerings include PEMF and red light therapies.

Reinhart Equine Therapies specializes in Structural Integration (SI), Nerve Release and Balance Through Movement Method (BTMM) (TM) in hand. SI focuses on releasing holding and compensation patterns the horse develops over time due to injury, trauma and the stresses of daily life. SI has all the benefits of massage (increased blood flow, reduced pain, elimination of toxins, etc) while also improv

ing structural integrity and flexibility. Nerve release work focuses on softening the entire body by addressing nerve compressions throughout the body, specifically the Brachial Plexus and Lumbar Plexus nerve bundles in the shoulder and low back. BTMM (TM) is a gentle series of movements, developed by Celeste Lazaris around "treating and preventing nerve and spinal compression and solving undiagnosed lameness." Heather is authorized to provide in hand instruction along with nerve release work and can refer to rider trainers for ridden BTMM work. The thirst for knowledge hasn't stopped at equine bodywork. She is also a Certified Karon Pryor Training Partner (KPCTP) and has completed equine podiatry courses. Owner, Heather Reinhart, has had a lifelong love of horses inherited from her mother, who was riding with Heather before she was born. Heather grew up raising and training horses on the family farm. She spent her school years in 4-H cultivating her love and knowledge of horses and competing at county and state fairs. Heather first went to college for mechanical engineering and worked as an engineer in the Portland, Or area. However, her love for animals came calling and she has since completed Equine Natural Movement school, an accredited equine structural integration and massage school in Battleground, Wa and has been certified in the Lazaris Nerve Release method. She has been working on horses in the Oregon, Willamette valley area since 2018

Truth bomb 🤩

This may be a hot take, but it feels important to say. So I'm going to say it before I lose courage.⁣
⁣
Your horse owes you nothing. Not one damn thing.⁣
⁣
Not safety, not their good behavior, and certainly not their body.⁣
⁣
So often what gets us into trouble with our horses is our expectations and sense of entitlement. We believe because we paid a hefty price tag for them and continue to pay for their food, their board, their vet bills, their et cetera, we are therefore entitled to use their body and have the Perfect Barbie Dream Horse™.⁣
⁣
But horses are not toys - they are sentient beings with their own agendas, thoughts, emotions, and bodies. They are having their own experiences alongside our own - their own sorrows & joys, their own contentments, their own aches & pains. ⁣
⁣
We have invited them into our human world, and they have graciously accepted. We ask them to squeeze into spaces that are made entirely for human comfort, and still they graciously accept. We have taken a prey animal, thrown some dead cow on their back, put metal on their feet and in their mouth, leap onto their backs, and still they graciously stay in our world. We kick them, we hit them, we get angry when they don't do what we say, and still they graciously accept our invitations to dance.⁣
⁣
So yeah. The horses owe us nothing.⁣
⁣
As a bodyworker and a healer, I see how much the horses are trying to just keep it together - and how much they ache for our connection. Some days it breaks my heart.⁣
⁣
If you don't feel safe around your horse, what are you doing to be a safe partner? If you want to ride your horse, what are you doing to be a better riding partner? If you want your horse to be a responsible partner, what are you doing to be that same responsible partner? ⁣
⁣
We don't have to be perfect partners - and the horses would never request that of us, either. But ask yourself - what am I doing to be a better partner for my horse?⁣
⁣
If I could teach people one thing, it would be the difference between stewardship and entitlement. Are you acting as steward of your relationship with your horse, or do you feel entitled to their best behavior and their body?

Horses are our healers, our teachers, our gurus…

Horses help us emotionally regulate, holding space for us to process

Horses give us a safe space to be, to express, to learn, to listen and to grow

Horses show us how to be present, how to process, how to breathe

Without judgement, without pretense, without pressure or agenda

Horses help us facilitate our own healing

We can do the same for the horses

We can listen to what horses are trying to communicate

We can hold space for horses to emotionally regulate

We can be a safe space for horses to be, to explore, express, learn and grow

We can be present for the horses to process and breathe, to facilitate their own healing

We can do the same for the horses and we can do it for each other

Horses can show us the world, if we are willing to see it

This is the kind of work that calls to my heart. If you felt a tugging at your heart reading this and would like more of this in your life, I am here to help and would love to hear from you and/or work with you!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with my dear Friend, Kerry’s horse while in the UK, Fiona.
She was darling and had some wonderful changes. 💖
