Waking up to the most amazing testimonial from one of my favourite clients certainly brightens my day!☀️🩷

“My horses and I have benefited immensely from being introduced to Chapman Equine Services.
Not only do my horses visually and physically respond to Kayla’s methods, but I feel the difference every time she comes to work with them.
Her professional approach along with her dedication and follow through is a welcome additive to our team at Synergy Farm and Forge.
Her feed back helps me tailor their training and physio programs to keep them in their best possible condition, and most importantly, happy to do the jobs/challenges that we present to them in training and competition.
It takes a village and I am very pleased to have been able to add Kayla’s techniques and insight to ours!” - Lauren Hunkin

"It's been a journey for my facility to find the right body worker to convince us that what this line of work is, is actually going to work.

Over the years, we have always had a great massage therapist and a great chiropractor, but we still felt like there was something missing.

Very recently we opened our doors to Kayla Chapman.
Immediately upon meeting her we knew we made the right choice, simply by her energy.
The way she spoke, the way she was able to communicate her knowledge, and how she interacted with our equines was at the highest of standards.

Kayla not only has the education to back her work, but has the passion to put that knowledge to work.
I have a wide variety of horses at my barn, from green horses to school masters, hunters to jumpers, and a couple quirky ones conformationally that really tested her expertise.

After riding the horses the week following their treatments, I speak not only for myself but for my clients, that we are forever grateful we opened our doors to Kayla, and we finally found the missing piece.

We can't wait to see our horses transform and are so lucky to add Chapman Equine Services to our team" - Kelsey

*** EXCITING NEWS! ***

📚 Continuing education is very important to me and evolving as a professional for not only myself but for my clients is my top priority. As it should be for any profession!

📚 I am BEYOND proud to announce that I am officially enrolled in a fantastic program accredited with the NBCAAM (National Board of Certification through Animal Acupressure and Massage) to be certified with MFM (Movement Feedback Method)!

📚 This approach to Bodywork specializes in trigger points and myo-fascial releases as well as going more in depth with reading pain responses, posture, advanced massage techniques, advanced trigger point techniques, dysfunction and dis-ease throughout the body, treatment plans, and assessing the horse as a whole.

📚 Bodywork goes beyond massaging muscles and I’m so excited to finish the program and add this fabulous certification to my tool box!

The best is yet to come!🩷🫶🏼

💟 Small check in for us equestrians who are just trying to chase our wild dreams… big or small.💟

It takes no effort at all to be a good human.

In fact it takes more effort to be jealous, hateful, angry, bitter, and miserable, than to smile and be happy towards someone.

In an industry that is incredibly political and prioritizes individuals based on the price of their horse, I find it even more important to focus on lifting others up and providing a safe space to every horse person I meet.

Whether you’re a rider, trainer, veterinarian, farrier, chiropractor, bodyworker, or just someone who likes horses, we all have one thing in common.

The horses.🐴

Our love and passion for these animals outweigh anything else and that is why we choose to be here.

We all do things differently. Climbed our way up differently. Have different opinions. Have different goals. Done things we aren’t proud of. Done things we are proud of.
But at the end of the day, each of us are here for the exact same reason.

Monetary gain is secondary to the health and wellness of these incredible creatures and if you’re threatened by another who offers the same service as you, then I would argue to say you are not in it for the right reasons.

Making these animals feel their best is the smallest thing we can do after everything we ask of them, so in my case if you have a Bodyworker that isn’t me… I am still so damn happy for you AND for the horse!

Who am I to judge whom you resonate with to work on your animals?

Just like who are you to judge or make comments regarding the direction someone takes their life?

So pick your people, stay in your lane, focus on your goals, work hard each day, and give grace. You will always be rewarded.

Life is hard enough as it is, trying to dim someone’s light won’t make you shine brighter. 🤍

Support one another.🫶🏼

New Case Study!❤️‍🔥

Meet Cali! A 13 year old paint mare who is hot, hot, HOT!

Cali’s owner/rider reached out to me a few weeks ago about booking in a Bodywork and Cold Laser Treatment. She had been having some troubles (for a very, very long time) with getting the mare comfortable and relaxed under saddle. She said she has always carried her head very high, and tracked more up and down as opposed to out in front properly swinging through her shoulder. The mare has had massage, chiro, and all the things one can do to try and make her more comfortable, but nothing seemed to make much of a difference.

Based on my eye ball assessment before I began working on her, I knew I would be dealing with some poll, neck, and shoulder tension, as well as possibly through her back. Solely based on her musculature and her neutral posture position.

Once I got my hands on her I knew she would benefit greatly from Cold Laser Therapy to her neck once I finished the manual therapy.
I asked to give her a day or two off following her appointment to allow her body time the time to process the changes I had began making, then start her back on a light stretching ride.

Well, last night I received the best message one can get along with some before and after videos.
The second video is Cali after ONE treatment and the owner couldn’t believe it.

Cali is now on a consistent maintenance schedule to continue getting her muscles in a more relaxed and healthy condition, and we will keep tracking her progress over the next few months!

How amazing is this difference!?😍

Ending 2023 with a BANG! 💥

I am so excited to OFFICIALLY announce Chapman Equine Services newest sponsored rider, Kelsey Currie of Eastwood LLC and her beautiful mount Diamant 394 J, also known as “Truman”!😍

Kelsey started her riding career in the eventing world, working her way up to the FEI level as a junior, and then bridged over to the hunters and jumpers. She did the hunter/jumpers for cross training for her event horses and instantly fell in love!

“I primarily ride/rode in the states, as I’m from New Brunswick originally. I only moved here to start my business 6 years ago.

My goals are to qualify Diamant 394 J for derby finals, and get back in the Grand Prix ring. I have some great up and coming young horses, and a few we have our eyes on over seas that will be joining us in the new year.

I’d like to continue growing my knowledge base, so I can continue to offer my horses and clients the best version of me that I possibly can.”- Kelsey

I am so excited for this partnership and will be looking forward to spending time with Kelsey and her clients at their home base in Ontario as well as the sunny south!

Welcome to the team, .ca / .llc & Truman!🥳

Did you know ⁉️

You might notice before I begin any treatment I’ll stare at your horses face… but what exactly am I doing?
I’m noting all of their features, but especially their Temporalis Muscle. Why might you ask?

This muscle tells me a lot about the horse including possible dysfunction with:

• TMJ issues
• Bit issues
• Dental issues
• Poll issues
• and a lot of the time your horses weaker direction

Let’s use this mare for example. First photo appears normal, a classic selfie of a beautiful pony. The second photo is clearly a silly angle. BUT that angle tells me everything I need to know. Third photo points out the difference in the Temporalis muscle, the right side being the smaller and less developed side, the left appearing more developed and noticeably larger.

The last photo goes to show how this right side underdevelopment has actually travelled down the entire right side of the body. How FASCINATING!
To me anyways 😂

Go examine your horses face and let me know what you see!👀
