Neck tension is one of the most common things I see in senior horses — and it usually comes from one of two places: arthritis, or years of bracing against unbalanced riders. Either way, they’re carrying it. And it affects everything.

This myofascial release technique is simple, effective, and something you can do today.

Sink your hands into the tissue along the neck and slowly traction as you move toward the ears. If you hit a spot that feels particularly tight — stop. Hold it. Wait for your horse to release.

You’ll know it’s working when you see it. Licking and chewing. A big yawn. Slow, soft blinking. That’s your horse’s nervous system letting go.
Ten minutes. No tools. Just your hands and a little patience.

This is part one of a three-part series I’m posting this week — three techniques, three days, all for your older horse. Follow along so you don’t miss the next one.

Here’s an easy way to see if your cinch fits!

As a bodyworker, I get asked a lot about my opinion on anatomical vs straight cinches and my honest answer is that most straight cinches will fit most horses better but some anatomical girths will fit certain horses bodies better – they are all individuals.

That is why it’s important to learn how to fit your horses cinch yourself to see what will fit your horse best!

If your horse has trouble picking up their feet or standing for the farrier, here’s the muscle you need to know about!

Your horse’s musculature is important to understand, even at a basic level, to make sure they’re feeling their best, especially when we ride them. I’ve taught thousands of equestrians worldwide how to help their horses with the art of myofascial release in my course, Equine Massage 101. Plus it’s SO easy to get started!

This is one of the most common mistakes I see when people do carrot stretches with their horse! Make sure that your horse is not tilting their head as you ask them to stretch their neck - this tilting can irritate the soft tissue of the neck.

This is a great stretch for any dressage horses, beginner lesson horses, jumper horses, or any horse you suspect has neck pain. Try stretching your horse after your rides/exercise a few times each direction.

Here’s a sneak peak into my equine bodywork certification program

The temporalis muscle can tell you a lot about what’s actually going on in your horse’s jaw. When it’s overdeveloped, it’s usually compensating for a weak masseter or an imbalanced TMJ.

This is the kind of detail that separates intro learners from true professionals—and it’s exactly what you’ll master inside the Freely Forward Equine Bodywork Certification.

If you want the skills, confidence, and mentorship to build a real equine bodywork career, enrollment is now open for 2026.

Attending my first dissection with was absolutely incredible. Lorre, Gabby, and all the ladies I got to meet were amazing and I went home with not only a deeper understanding of equine anatomy, but a profound sense of hope in the horse world. There are many, many wonderful people working to make this world a better place for horses. I am proud to know you all.

Here are just a few of my main takeaways, but I have plenty more. If you’d be interested in this being a series just comment below ❤️

Learn this ONE massage technique to unlock your horse’s hind end!

If your horse can’t bring their hindquarters underneath themselves, can’t flex their pelvis, or just feels stuck behind — tension in the lumbosacral area is probably the reason.

A horse that’s tight and trapped in their lower back simply cannot move the way they’re built to. For dressage horses, that means no collection. For rodeo horses, that means lost speed. For any horse — that means compromised comfort.

The fix? Mobility. And it starts with this simple technique that you can learn in less than 60 seconds and practice on your horse today.

Place your hands on either side of that gluteus medius and longissimus dorsi junction (go back and watch part one in this series if you haven’t already!) — and gently traction the area apart. That’s it. No special tools. No complicated protocol.
