We are enjoying seeing our clients introduce us to their new foals! On a personal note, our broodmare will be having her foal in a few short months. So let’s have a little fun, what do you think it will be? Colt💙 or Filly 💗?
Comment with the gender color.

Here’s some background - this will be her second foal. The first foal is a filly.

Yup - we’re headed that way again this season 💪 Excited to see everyone again and if you’re local, come support a fantastic show.

If you’re attending, let’s get together and work through a plan for the weekend to keep everyone loose and performing their best around your warmup and class schedules when available.

We’ll have BEMER on hand for the ‘quick hits’, but a hands on approach can’t be replicated for the longer term.

Come see us at the ODAC in Chatham!

When you get a massage, it’s more than just technique - it’s an education about your horse. At the end of every session you’ll learn about the muscle groups, where they are and how they support one another. This gives us insight into why your horse moves (or doesnt move) the way they do.

With Double M, you receive pictures and video messages about the massage every step of the way. Especially on those days when you can’t be there to witness the massage in person this is truly helpful to understanding, and we can all learn more.

Message us for an appointment - an education.

Also offering BEMER therapy services, all at affordable rates.

Group rates available!

For those who may be new to us, or even curious still but haven’t jumped on board - an intro…

A little about us:

I'm Mandi, and my journey into the massage therapy field was inspired by a special horse named Mouse (PeptoMouse), whose spirit and life continue to motivate everything I do. She is the inspiration for Double M through and through!

Mouse was more than just a horse - she was my partner and friend. As a broodmare and performance horse, she had her fair share of challenges which required constant massage therapy sessions. It's through our battles together that I saw first-hand the incredible impact that massage and other therapies had on her comfort, performance, and overall quality of life.

Mouse passed away in the winter of 2024, but her legacy lives on in my work. Her resilience and strength taught me the importance of taking care of our equine companions, especially when it comes to their well-being.

As for me, I've long since had a passion for horses. That passion continues through my family, and most especially my daughter. By choosing Double M you're supporting the life and legacy of Mouse, and supporting our life's passion for creating comfort for horses and humans alike.

Reach out with questions or to schedule. I’d love to hear from you!

🥶 Virginia called… it wants its muscles back. 🥶

Cold temps =
🐴 tighter muscles
🐴 reduced circulation
🐴 less flexibility
🐴 longer warm-ups (and grumpier attitudes)

When muscles get cold, they contract and don’t want to let go. That’s when your horse can feel short-strided, resistant, or just off. Massage helps counteract the cold by:
✔️ increasing circulation
✔️ warming soft tissue
✔️ improving range of motion
✔️ keeping joints and muscles happy

Think of massage like a warm blanket from the inside out. 🧣

Whether your horse is a weekend warrior, seasoned performance partner, or a senior who already hates winter as much as we do—consistent bodywork can be the difference between “stiff and sore” and “loose and ready.”

❄️ Cold weather is unavoidable. Tight horses don’t have to be.

That moment when your horse feels amazing one day… and the next ride feels like you’re sitting on a wooden sawhorse. 🫠

Spoiler alert: it’s usually not you (ok, maybe) — and it’s not “just attitude.” Muscles tighten, bodies compensate, and horses adapt until they can’t.

Working out those kinks can take time so it’s important to stay on a regular therapeutic schedule until they’re on a maintenance routine.

You’ll spend hundreds on vets, farriers, and that show bill but don’t have to to loosen up your companion. We have options.

The look of relief with hands of gold 💛🤙

Gunner showed signs of soreness when trying to get his headset positioned correctly, and showed classic pain behaviors associated with muscle soreness (tail swishing, moving away and guarded behaviors, drawing up his core when brushing or with a light touch).

Ignoring these symptoms impedes any rider’s ability to ride with purpose. Let’s get to work 💪

Horses don’t wake up and decide to be “difficult.” They wake up stiff, sore, or unbalanced—and then do the best they can with it.

Subtle signs like tail swishing, resistance, uneven movement, or attitude changes are often the body whispering before it starts yelling. Learning to listen early makes a big difference in your horse’s comfort and performance.

PS: Bodywork isn’t just for “problem horses.” It’s for horses you want to keep feeling good.

Make 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, your year! If your horse is actually on fire….we can’t help with that. BUT, if their muscles feel that way drop us a line!

What Your Horse Is Trying to Tell You (Before They Buck, Bolt, or Shut Down)

Owning a horse is a little like adopting a very large, opinionated toddler who can’t explain what hurts—but definitely lets you know something is off. You do all the right things: good feed, regular farrier visits, vet checks, and plenty of love. Yet somehow, your horse still feels stiff, cranky, or “just not quite right,” and you’re left wondering if it’s training, attitude… or something else entirely. The truth is, horses are masters at hiding discomfort, often showing it through subtle signs we brush off as quirks. Learning to spot those signs is part of the journey of becoming a confident horse owner—and it’s where regular bodywork can make a big difference in how your horse feels, moves, and behaves.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m not sure what this means, but something feels off,” you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Reach out to Double M Bodyworks to start a conversation, ask questions, or see how massage and whole-horse care can help keep your horse comfortable, happy, and doing their job a little more willingly.

PS: You don’t need to wait until there’s a “problem” to book affordable bodywork. Sometimes the best sessions are the ones that keep small things from turning into big ones—and your horse will thank you for it.
