Providing Equine Massage Therapy using sports massage techniques

You will often see me step back and take a deep breath myself and allow the horse to process. Sometimes they need their own space and time to process.
I am not always looking for the big yawn and lip chew but I also watch for the nose wrinkles to relax, the eyes to soften and the bottom lip to relax.
Book with me and let me help your equine partner.

Do I do body work on horses at a horse show … no.
Do I do body work on horses after they have competed and going home to rest for a few days.. yes!
I am always there to answer questions, help you with stretches or even Bemer but after a deep tissue massage the body needs to recover and relax.
Happy Birthday Jordan Bailey ❤️
You are the most beautiful, humble & kind woman. We are so grateful to have you on our team.
Enjoy your day.
Lots of Love 💕
The Bemer boots, we love them, they are a great way to target more specific areas that you want to focus the work on🔥
Sometimes horses circle back around.
I was very shocked to walk into a barn and see this mare. Back story, this lovely mare was owned by very good friends approximately 15 years ago. That is me riding her in the second picture. She was sold and passed through different hands and has now landed in her forever home where she gets the best care and love.
Thank you for the smile down memory lane Kansas❤️
Pet your pony ❤️
Don’t forget to love your pony.
I am guilty of being busy and rushing to get horses rode and chores done and eat a decent meal and be in bed at a decent time. I do the basics and pick their feet, ride, cool down and brush them off but sometimes I forget to pet my pony. Show your horse that you appreciate them and love them.
If you want to show extra love with lots of benefits book a massage or Bemer.

Approximately over a year ago, I completed a Craniosacral Therapy Course.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is a bodywork technique that addresses the craniosacral rhythm which is found in all animals. This rhythm is similar to the animal’s heartbeat, but is a result of the pumping of Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) rather than blood through the heart. The CSF nourishes the Central Nervous System (CNS) and changes in its flow can directly impact it. CSF flows from the skull of the animal (cranium), down the spinal cord to the sacrum (hence the name craniosacral). Craniosacral therapists can enhance and correct the flow of CSF through specific techniques and protocols.
Animals have a craniosacral rhythm that can become altered due to injuries and stresses. A lot of the horses I work with benefit from a combination of craniosacral therapy and massage. The craniosacral therapy allows the animal to “unwind” the kinks and twists in their fascia that is caused from repeated stresses allowing their bodies to stay in alignment following a massage and allowing the muscles and other soft tissues to remain less restricted longer following a massage.
I am always adding tools to my toolbox.

When I give a horse a massage, I also give the owner homework.
Many of my clients get “Long and Low” written on their report card. Why is it important to have your horse the opportunity to be long and low?
Well, this cool muscle called the Brachiocephalicas gets released and when at a state of relaxation it allows activation of the diaphragm, Quadriceps, Bicep Femoris and Gluteals. It also allows the horse to release the iliopsoas and hamstrings.
Riding with your horse’s head low is great but also think about it when you are leading them or doing any kind of handling on the ground as well!
For More information on this method – Visit https://www.balancethroughmovementmethod.com/
I love to keep learning so I can give more to horses and the horse owners.
This tribe of young women 💕
Who is your tribe ? Who cheers you on? Who stays up to 1am to watch you run in the slack?
“And one day she discovered that she was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears.”
Horses keep you humble but your tribe keeps you sane.

Roxy is an all business type mare. Loves to work!
Starting a mare back to work after having a baby is tough … starting a mare back after a baby and an injury .. even tougher.
It is not just legging her up, tacking some shoes back on and getting her wind in her sails again.
We are stretching, rebalancing her body, making sure she is getting enough calories to nurse and exercise, being cautious of the foals exercise and most importantly trying to get a c**t halter broke so he is well behaved for future vet and farrier appointments with his momma.
Contact me to help you get your mommas back working again.
We love our working mommas.
The key is to look at the horse as a whole.
We can look at underdeveloped muscles, over developed muscles and see a pattern but we also have to look at things that effect those muscles.
-Saddle Fit
- Joint soreness
- Feet Soreness
- An irritated tooth
- Diet
Sometimes we get so focused on what is sore or painful that we forget to look at what is causing the problem.
That is why I am always asking questions when working on your horse because you as an owner knows your horse the best.
If you are having muscle soreness with your equine partner, contact me directly and we can work together.
Equine Massage has many benefits.

What is your farm like at home?
The dog and pony show.
We are beyond proud of Nate and Ollie! What a great team.💙
Ollie and I are on a strict schedule during show season to make sure he is feeling his best. Nate works extra hard in between sessions to make sure Ollie does his stretches and I can’t thank Nate enough for making my job so rewarding.
Happy Mother’s Day
Love, Rocket
Miss Pria worked hard at Spring Thaw so of course she deserves a massage and Bemer. This little mare is the sweetest and one day, I may steal her.
Some days I like to pretend that my dogs are well behaved and listen…
Who am I kidding.
We own a heeler and Nav.
We have some exciting news…🎉🤩💜

Another Tool in my Tool Box. This may not be direct equine body work course but it adds more knowledge and experience. I completed Foaling and Foal care course through the university of Colorado this winter. Prior to this course, we foaled out two beautiful foals and they were happy and healthy. We have great vets but in all seriousness, the first foal we had no idea what we were doing. We buckled down and learned more, studied more and talk to the people who were in the business. This year we had the opportunity to foal out our third foal and I felt way more prepared, still nervous but prepared. Being involved with breeding, foaling and foals - I see the effects on the equine body. The mommas take the brunt during breeding, pregnancy and foaling. The foals may experience body soreness from the birthing process or even when we are trying to halter break them. I do my best for the mommas and the foals with massage, stretching and Bemer. #equinemassage #babymomma #foalingout #bigbeautifulfoals #beingprepared #equinewellness #equinebabies #babyhorses
June was busy! I met a lot of new clients and got visit old ones. I massaged, nebulized and bemered. I was on a committee to help put on a fantastic show and snuck in a quick trip to Texas to drop off our wonderful 2 year old for training. July is back in full swing. My schedule is almost full- don’t miss out on my remaining availability. Massage Bemer Nebulizer #equinemassage #equinewellness #bemer
We went to a horse show this weekend! Being able to teach this young woman how to properly care for her horses is worth every moment. I also stopped on my way home and massaged 5 horses but I did not manage to get any pictures of that. Being able to balance your family and work is not always easy but it is important. #horsesfirst #family #selfemployed #equinewellness
A full day of Massaging horses with Bemer leads to different reactions. We had the sleepyhead, dramatic releaser, the wiggle worm and Mr content. #massageday #massageandbemer #equinebodyworks #equinewellness #equinebemer #equinereactions
The Nebulizer is one my mobile services. Book now for your equine partner. Why are you seeing the Nebulizer so much on our social media lately?Two reason. 1. Performance use. We use the Nebulizer on performance horses for pre race as well as through out the week. https://barrelhorsenews.com/barrel-racing-articles/horse-health/alternative-therapies-nebulization/2. Allergies - yes ! Horses get allergies and it is pollen season. The silver that is administered in the Nebulizer - SilvaPlex Respiratory Solution helps to expel the excess mucous, and in most cases, any bacteria living in the lungs. SilvaPlex is an exclusive, patented, veterinarian-formulated chelated silver which has shown to kill hundreds of different infectious microorganisms including many of the antibiotic resistant super pathogens.When you nebulize, you get right to the heart of the issue. You are able to distribute the medication exactly where it needs to go in the respiratory system.
What are you doing post horse show? Are you right back at it? Keeping your horse legged up? Are you working on certain maneuvers or drills? These things are all great! But are you doing the small things that matter. * Stretching * Muscle strengthening * Respiratory system check - especially important for endurance disciplines * Massage therapy Yes- this grey mare is spoiled with all the fancy gadgets but there is lots of small hands on things that you can do to help your horse during show season. Message me directly or text me 613-483-5343 to find out how you can help your equine partner.
My days are long but they are worth it. Something I have learned, is to ask for help. You can’t do it all! I have a phenomenal friend that I trust with my horses to exercise one of the mares 1-2 days a week. I hired a house cleaner to come in once a month for that deep clean that we all hate. I have a talented woman who helps me with my social media. I call my parents when I need an extra hand with something. I am slowly learning to say no. Gratitude practice is really, really important to me. I think it’s an incredible way to start your day. #busylife #equinebodyworker #horsemom
A full day ! 6 Massages and only missed getting a picture of one of them. Even had a moment to work on our own little filly who is away in training❤️
When you have a Saturday at home .. you get to work on your own horses . #equinetherapy#equinemassagetherapy
