Many congratulations to client Josie Carroll and owners Tall Oaks Farm (Outstanding Breeder, Champion Two-Year Old Male-Avie's Flatter) and Windsor Boys Racing Stable (Champion Female Sprinter - Moonlit Promise) for their incredible success at last night's Sovereign Awards. I'm always bursting with pride that I'm considered part of this team. Josie has been a strong supporter of what I do from the beginning of my venture into this industry, she very thoughtfully gave me a true chance to demonstrate the benefits that can be achieved through massage therapy for racehorses and has trusted me with some of her best. Another Woodbine colleague, Hayley Morrison, (who brought home her own Sovereign last night for outstanding writing!) penned this great article about Josie's recent induction into the Canadian Horseracing Hall of Fame. I can't wait to see what 2019 brings!

In my experience, and as this article indicates, horses definitely feel the slightest difference in pressure during massage treatments. They are so remarkably sensitive. I myself find they enjoy soft pats and gentle crest “scritches” as a reward for preferred behavior and efforts, and try to avoid the “equine high-five”.

It’s so rewarding to work with a horse like this, Melmich is one of my all-time favourites. 😍🐎

In 2012, more than a dozen yearlings from the third crop of 2004 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Wilko were offered at the CTHS (Ontario) sale. One of them was Melmich, who has since gone on to amass lifetime earnings of $1.2 million and has finished in the top three of all his starts over 80% of th...
