“The key to better performance”

03/16/2026

Did you know???

The equine body has approximately 700 muscles and 205 bones that control movement. The musculoskeletal system allows coordination such as spinning and running in the paddock, grazing and chewing in the field, pinning and rotating their ears, and swishing their tails at flies.

As a general rule, deep muscles and those close to joints are postural muscles responsible for supporting and stabilising joints. The muscles responsible for creating large, powerful movements are those further away from the joints. The massive superficial muscles of the hindquarters for example provide the propulsive forces necessary for locomotion.

By understanding how their muscles work is one of the most fundamental concepts that can influence how we prepare our horses for each season; whether it’s during their competitive season or not. And yes, it’s important to know that your horses genetics, nutrition and training all play an essential role with how they function.

This year has brought me an incredible amount of joy, determination and pride. I’m so thankful for my friends, family and clients that have been the most supportive throughout this rewarding journey.

We all have goals and dreams. And I’d say it’s an absolute privilege to be surrounded by like-minded individuals that only push you to become better. Both in your career and personal endeavors.

So cheers to a successful year. And an even bigger cheers to what awaits in the upcoming year!

1 Peter 1:6-7

“On that day you will be glad, even if you have to go through many hard trials for awhile. Your faith will be like gold that has been tested in a fire. And these trials will prove that your faith is worth much more than gold that can be destroyed.”

Today is set aside to honor and recognize the significance that horses bring to our nation. These magnificent animals, in general, contribute roughly $177 billion to the U.S. economy along with providing 2.2 million jobs throughout the country. Between working in the fields, moving livestock, cavalry, competition or recreation; horses are simply an American staple and a way of life for many individuals.

The way they build our confidence, but yet humble us; brings such an amazing experience and partnership that doesn’t go unnoticed.

Proverbs 21:31

Happy National Horse Day,

Brrrrr, it’s cold out! 🥶❄️ A friendly reminder that continued “off-season” bodywork maintenance can be extremely beneficial for your equine partner more than you might realize.

Massage therapy in colder temperatures helps boost blood circulation, warms stiff muscles, reduces joint stiffness, and can help prevent injuries from slippery conditions or stable confinement. Keeping horses muscles supple and supporting their overall well-being is always important whether they are performing or not.

Let’s work together to help keep your horse(s) feeling their absolute best and conditioned this winter!

I can’t believe it’s already November! It may be getting colder, but remember, bodywork maintenance is still important for your equine partner during the colder months.

Another reminder that during my sessions, I supplement the visit with targeted red light therapy to prolong your horses benefits.

Red Light Therapy is also known as low laser level therapy (LLLT), low power laser therapy (LPLT) and photobiomodulation (PMB). It is a non-invasive technique that enhances blood supply to the targeted area and helps accelerate tissue restoration on a cellular level. Visible red light is efficiently absorbed by the photoreceptors in cells, and once absorbed, the lights’ energy kickstarts a series of metabolic events such as the increase of blood flow.

For a better understanding; the release of low-level wavelengths helps pe*****te the skin, reaching our cell’s mitochondria. This action then stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP); which is the main energy source for cells. The boost of ATP levels has been shown to improve skin health, muscle recovery, alleviation of pain and wound healing.

Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to help your partner feel their absolute best!

SKELETAL DEVELOPMENT should be considered more when we are developing young horses.

I’m not a trainer, and I can appreciate the idea of introducing tack and weight to young horses…slowly and mindfully while keeping the work light enough that the skeletal maturity is allowed for.

What I do wish I saw more of-is developing biomechanical balance in young horses from the ground before introducing tack and rider weight.

From the bodyworker perspective-the most common areas of soreness I see in ridden horses are the areas of the skeletal system that mature last…

While it’s not a clinical study by any means-but with well over 1000’s of massages under my hands I see enough of a correlation to be convinced we are doing too much too soon. More common than not-I see biomechanical imbalances in horses (of all ages) attempting to be corrected under saddle instead of in hand, which creates various compensation patterns elsewhere in the body.

I had these images created for my online classes to help owners and professionals better understand how the maturity timeline can impact performance development.

I share these thoughts in an effort to bring mindful awareness-never to criticize. I hope to see more ridden horses making it to their teens before they’re needing pharmaceutical intervention instead of the 5-10 year olds I see now.
The best time to learn new things and do better for the horse is now.
