If you do one thing this show season… let it be preventative care.

●

You put hundreds of hours into training.
Thousands of dollars to get you here.

●

The first couple of weeks go great — you’re moving up the ribbons as each week goes on, hoping by the end of the circuit to bring home a division championship.

●

But then the rails start coming down: unexplained stopping, bucking during the lead change, and tossing the head during your courtesy circle. What happened? Nothing’s changed! Why all of a sudden has your horse’s performance gone down, even though you both are at peak fitness and more comfortable in the show ring than you’ve been since last winter season?

●

Maybe your saddle fits great — it’s been checked 3x by the most qualified fitter in the area.
You’ve got the best of the best farrier, and the vet says, “You’re good to go!”

So WHY, when it matters most, are your rounds getting worse rather than better??

●

The simple answer? Soreness.
Muscle fatigue. Overuse without sufficient rest.

●

You may not be showing every single week...but you are schooling 5-6 days a week harder than you do at home...then going to show 3 days in a row...and repeat....for 3 months straight.

●

It may not seem like much, but keeping those muscles supple and relieving tension BEFORE it begins to turn into “knots” and “adhesions” is one of the best ways to prevent injuries. When one muscle begins to hold tension where it shouldn’t, it changes the way the joints are loading, altering tension in tendons and ligaments. So you’re not only relieving soreness with bodywork — you’re taking unnecessary strain off other vital components that keep our horses sound and happy in their jobs. You're giving relief to the WHOLE system!
Horses are amazing, giving creatures who can be more stoic than we realize when it comes to discomfort.

●

Please, don’t wait until week 12 to find a bodyworker. Let’s start preventative care at week 3 so you and your horse can put in the winning rounds you deserve!

●

I want my clients to succeed and I want them and their horses to be in the best physical shape of their lives, to enjoy the Florida sunshine and go home at the end of season with contentment that you did the best for your equine partner. 🏆

Fascia: the largest system in the body.
Fascia: holds memory.
Fascia: can be reorganized to improve function.
Fascia: connecting and influencing all other systems.

You may think I'm just loosening up the skin and superficial muscles but it is so much deeper than that! Fascia is amazing; connecting the outer most parts to the inner most parts. It all begins with the fascia.

I had such an excellent weekend learning from of ! The equine body just continues to amaze me.
Thankful for these opportunities and the friends I have made along the way!

What an incredible weekend!
I had the privilege of attending a whole-horse dissection in Massachusetts, led by Lorre Mueller of . It was an amazing honor to learn from this horse and witness firsthand the incredible complexity of the equine body and its many systems. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to study alongside passionate, like-minded equine professionals and to form friendships that will last a lifetime.

A heartfelt thank-you to our wonderful hosts; Calico Performance Horses, our guides Lorre and Kate, and most importantly, to the horse who made this invaluable learning experience possible.

“Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.”

A little late posting, but I am thrilled to have completed level 2 of Christy Dicolla's Neuro Fascial Conditioning and Rib Entrapment Syndrome Therapy. Christy's expertise and educational courses have become a vital part of my work at Meraki Equine Sports Therapy, and I can confidently say I am a better equine bodyworker since taking her courses. 📚 With that said, I am eager to continue learning under Christy this coming fall!! As well as a few other exciting things planned for the rest of the year that I am stoked about! Stay tuned!! 🛬

A few years ago I had a random phone call that said "hey, could you go work on this horse every day as he recovers from surgery". This was a unique request, but I said "sure, I'll do what I can!". I had no idea that I was heading over to work on a legend...a literal breyer model! It was such an honor to spend so much time with "Snoopy". A cherished memory I will have forever. Rest easy sweet boy. 💕

“What kind of bodywork do you do?”

That’s often the first question I get from potential clients—and depending on the day, the answer is super clear, or sometimes it's “I don’t even know!”.
Because here’s the truth: I don’t do cookie-cutter sessions. I do what your horse needs, on that day, to feel better, to move better. Sometimes, that looks like deep tissue massage. Other times it’s fascia work, positional release, or a combination of several modalities.
That’s why I simply call it massage and bodywork—because it’s not one-size-fits-all. And that’s also why I charge a flat session fee. No upsells, no “add-ons.” You get everything I have to offer every time because your horse deserves that.
As a fellow horse owner, I understand. The costs add up fast, and peace of mind matters. My goal is to give you and your horse the absolute best I can—every session, every time.
Because that’s how I’d want someone to care for my horse. 💕

I had the honor of speaking at a horse camp this past week at Cypress Valley Farm! It was such a great learning experience for me, and hopefully, the kids! 😆
Growing up as a former horse-camper and avid 4-H member, the equine professionals that came to speak to our groups truly inspired and educated me to be the horsewoman I am today. What a fun opportunity to share a little piece of what it's like being a professional equine bodyworker!
