 Hi everyone! I am just back from school where I learned acupuncture, how to Restore motion to the TMJ, and we did our disection! This is a before and after photo of a TMJ manipulation that I did on one of my classmates horses Astro!

The goal of my treatments is to create symmetry throughout the entire body. Message me for more information on how I can help your horse move correctly and with ease.

Stay tuned for more photos from the disection! Feel free to ask any questions about the body and it’s inner workings, and I will try to give photos!

Hello everyone!!!!

It has been a CRAZY couple of months! The last little bit I have learned so many new ways to help horses, worked on some new animals, and have an exciting announcement!!!

I now have learned my advanced osteopathy to restore motion to the front limb, hind limb, and spine! Shoot me a message and we can find some time to help get your horse feeling 100%, especially with spring training starting up again!

Did you know cows also lick and chew when they relax and release tension?! A couple weeks ago I had the awesome opportunity to work on a bull calf and I’d say he enjoyed the treatment!🤪

And the big announcement….
Equuleus Equine Therapy will be at the Everything Equine show this weekend! I am teaming up with Jamie Mottershead from Radiate H**p Co and will be promoting the H**pOlive supplemental oil. Come check us out to find out how proper feed and bodywork will benefit your horse both inside and out!

Stay tuned for more updates!

⚠️ Warning! ⚠️
Gore ahead!

This is one of the super cool experiences we gain from school. Every year in May we complete a thorough hands on exam of a horse, then a dissection on that horse. These horses are donated to our school for our learning experience by generous people who have an understanding of when it is time for the animal, as well as the importance of hands on learning. I was lucky enough to give this sweet old guy a massage last summer, before his old age really caught up to him over this winter. He was graciously donated by a fellow student who wanted to know what really was going on inside.

In the photos I have attached, I show the most stand out pictures from this dissection because I’m sure between my classmates and I there is at least one hundred photos that were taken.

Stinger was in his early-mid 30’s, with a mostly unknown history. He was an old rope horse, who we believe in his old age had began to lose his sight as he was quite spooky and you had to announce your presence to him. Once we began the dissection after a peaceful passing with the aid of a vet, we quickly discovered some crazy things as soon as his hide was removed.
Stinger had was quite sick, with the fascia of his body yellowed with toxins. We also seen that he had major damage to his latissimus dorsi muscle, it had torn and regrown with a large triangle shaped hole. He also had cancer within his gut in the peyers patches along the intestines. They were swollen and darkened, and we were able to compare his healthy ones to the cancerous ones. Once we got deeper into the muscles, it was found that he had broken his first two ribs, and the first rib had actually flipped over and never did settle into its proper place. This caused an encapsulated abscess, which pushed inwards into the body. It then pushed its way into the brachial artery where the infection travelled throughout the body. We found large gobs of infection within many of his major arteries. The craziest part was that it made its way into the heart. When we did the cross section on the heart we found large areas of the infection that were caught on the heart strings, and became one with the heart. We also found found within the stomach lots of bots, which were the probable cause of the HUGE ulcer in the glandular region of his stomach.

I could keep going on about this for days. It is absolutely amazing what we can find when we can literally take a deeper look. Within the pictures attached I have added short descriptions of what you are seeing.

Thank you again to the wonderful people who allow us these crazy experiences!

Just think...how many times are we told to take a deep breath in and then let it all out?

When we are stressed.
When we are panicked.
When we are sad or upset.
When we are in a great moment and we want to savour that good feeling.

Breathing is literally in with the good, out with the old! On a chemical level that is actually what happens! Our lungs inhale fresh air and oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide and other wastes of cellular metabolism. And guess what happens when we can’t breathe? We don’t rid our body of these wastes!

The same goes for our horses. Sometimes their ribs can get stuck, either out with inspiration, or in with exhalation. And even just one rib can impact how they breathe!

With the diaphragm, we know that it is the large muscle in our body that helps us to breathe, and just like any other muscle in the body it can be damaged, and can become “stuck”! That’s where I can step in!

I am now able to restore motion in the rib and diaphragm! Let me help your horse breathe in more of the good, and get rid of more of the old!

Hi! My name is Morgan Baker and welcome to Equuleus Equine Therapy.

Ever since I can remember I’ve been a horse crazy little kid. (I still ogle out the window of my car at horses in the fields hahaha). When I was 6, my parents bought me my first horse, Reno, who at the time was a 4 year old gelding. He taught me so much over the years, patience, trust, and a lot of perseverance (and how to give my mom heart attacks every time she saw me hit the ground😂) Throught the years of junior high and highschool I spent a lot of time in the saddle, and when I wasn’t, I was doing something horse related. After I graduated I became stuck in slump of what to do and how to keep horses in my life, because as cheesy as it sounds, there’s nothing that makes me happier. I began looking into horse-related jobs, not really sure what I actually wanted, when I came across the ERT program at the Canadian Equine Therapy Institute. It was perfect, a career spent with the animals I love and helping these animals continue to be the best they could be. After much time spent trying to convince my mom that 1. Horse massage therapists actually exist and 2. I wasn’t going to die massaging horses, I became enrolled at the school. I am in currently in my second year out of 4, and just recently became certified as a equine massage therapist! I have over a thousand hours so far of training, and will continue to become certified in cranio-sacral work, osteopathy and chiropractics just to name a few!

I hope that you stick around to see me progress to becoming a full remedial therapist over the next couple years! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions, or are wanting to book an appointment!
