Mebane Equine Bodyworks

Mebane Equine Bodyworks Helping horse owners create happier, sounder partners for over a decade. Mebane Saddlery is the home of Independent Certified Saddle Fitter Tara C Mebane.

Tara C Mebane, CSF, EM/MT, EEMFR

Certified saddle fitter and equine bodyworker (sports massage, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy techniques) and classically trained rider. Tara has over 250 hours of study in English Saddle Fitting and Flocking from one of the most comprehensive courses of study available. Taught by Mike Scott, a Society of Master Saddlers certified saddle fitter, who is also a human and equine massage therapist with over 25 years of experience, anatomy, and an understanding of how the horse moves, were major points of emphasis in the program. Continuing education is important, so Tara apprentices as schedule permits under Mike himself, other graduates of Mike's certification program, saddle companies, and other equine professionals (vets, chiropractors, etc). Tara is also a rider and trainer herself, and understands the need for appropriately fitting tack for both the horse and rider.

Unleashed the herd into the rest of their domain today, they were getting cramped and bored in their intro paddock. There was a little galloping around but thankfully good choices were made by all πŸ™πŸ‘πŸ«£πŸ˜‚

This is what happens when you charge another horse on pile of hay and slip and bust your ass.

This is also why you MUST keep your horse either on a chiropractic schedule OR contact your chiropractor when you KNOW your horse has taken a fall. Horses do dumb s**t all the time, I was able to watch this happen and fortunately this was like days before her scheduled appointment. But this is why I do keep mine on a schedule, they do dumb stuff I miss and sometimes the trauma can be enough to really jam them up. This was subtle.

Glimmer made the move to La Casa de Mebane this weekend, I had to repair that fence 3 times within the first 20 min of her being here, but it made it through the night. I threatened Aztek I’d take his blanket off so he could feel the heat on the top line if he didn’t stop and he did, he loves being blanketed πŸ˜‚. He and Glimmer became instant besties.

*LAST CHANCE* Offer ends today

If you’ve ever wanted to have a better understanding of how your horse is using their body, what their stiff and hollow side actually means, and how you can address this under saddle, this is the workshop deal for you.

Since my Wine & Equine Event at M&M in September, I’ve had so many requests for more interactive workshops! If you attended the event, my Black Friday offer is the grand prize from the drawing!

We’ll start with an interactive bodywork session that includes a philosophical discussion on what stiff and hollow compensations are and how they present in your horse specifically, then we’ll follow that with a ridden session where we breakdown the biomechanics of those patterns and how to address them under saddle. The ridden session is done primarily at the walk.

You can purchase as many sessions as you like, just copy and paste the link below to purchase. This link will only be live through Cyber Monday.

Happy Holidays!

Cavi modeling the new Linear SYNC today. This is the flocked panel version which is excellent for the narrow built horses that need more wither and back support for proper clearance, and it has an adjustable gullet! These are available through Highline and as an approved fitter, I can bring these saddles to appointments.
