That feeling when a horse finally relaxes in your presence is unmatched. When they begin to calm down and really start to trust you… It is the most rewarding part of being a CEMT. People ask why I love my job so much and my answer will always be “Because of the horses”. Knowing that a 1200 pound animal can trust you with their entire being is truly the best thing I have ever experienced.

Using Kinesiology Tape over scar tissue. Here’s why! ⬇️

Scar tissue occurs after an injury begins the healing process. Collagen fibers are what rebuild and stabilize the area. These fibers are often more sporadic, less elastic, and can create stiffness.

Using kinesiology tape over an area of scar tissue can help change the directional restrictions through the area. This helps to improve circulation, increase mobility, and encourages lymphatic drainage. Overtime this will improve the quality of the tissue and increase the mobility of the affected areas. This is a super simple yet super effective way to help your horse improve and get better!

 If your horse has any areas that might benefit from using kinesiology taping, shoot me a text or give me a call. I’d love to chat!

A lot of people think that their horses don’t work enough to have a massage session. The truth is, I have never worked on a horse that didn’t benefit from a session. Every horse, no matter how much work they are in, deserves to feel their best. Putting time and effort into your horses keeps them feeling their best over the course of their entire lives!

Let’s talk about the effects of hauling on a horses body! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

When you are hauling your horses, specifically for long periods of time, your horse will be stressed mentally and physically. Your horse will have to brace and shift their body to stay stable while on the road. There will be lots of stress on the joints and tension throughout the muscles. Because of this they will often have muscle fatigue and might even become body sore due to this.

There are a few things you can do to help your horses on the road!

~ Stop every 3-5 hours and allow the horses some time to stand. If you are able, you can also unload and walk your horse. Only if conditions are safe to do so!

~ Offer water at every stop. Keeping your horses digestion system moving is crucial to avoid colic or dehydration. You should also keep some sort of forage in front of them. Hanging hay bags is always a good option if you have the room in the trailer to do so!

~ Keep mats with fresh shavings in the trailer. Having your horse stand on a more padded surface will keep their joints from being strained!

If you have a long haul planned for your horse be sure to get them on my schedule! This will help to prevent any issues that might occur due to the stress on the horses body!

You cannot jump from 0 to 100 in one day, one exercise, or one practice session. Doing 1% more everyday is what creates the biggest changes. Changes that pass the test of time. No skipping steps. No rushing over the important parts. Just good, healthy, steady change!

Ground Poles can be a great exercise for your horse! Read why below! ⬇️

Adding simple ground pole exercises to your routine can help you rebuild strength, improve coordination, and increase range of motion!

The horse pictured below has been out of work for just under two years! He had a knee injury as a senior and was not riding sound. He is now doing very well and the goal is to build his strength back up in hopes to allow kids to ride him this summer! Using ground poles for this horse will encourage him to engage his core. He does not have the best top line and has lost so much muscle so this is a great option to get him going under saddle again without the stress and tension of weight on his back!

Message me so we can talk about ground pole exercises for your horse!

Muscle Monday!

The Splenius ~ This muscle is a larger muscle in the neck. It is very important for raising and extending the neck, turning and bending, and supporting the head!

This muscle helps to stabilize, support, and balance the horse during not only riding, but daily task as simple as grazing as well. If this muscle is tight or sore you will notice that your horse will have difficulty bending and collecting and might have increased reactivity when bridling or grooming over the area.

If you think your horse might need some help or support through this area, definitely reach out to come up with a plan!
