 Hey everyone! 👋
I recently upgraded to a new scheduling system to better keep track of appointments and maintenance cycles.

Thank you all for your patience while I get everything back in order.
I truly appreciate every one of you and your horses

Let’s keep those performance partners feeling their best!

Texas finally got a cold front, and you know what that means —
horses are feeling good, getting frisky, and sometimes having a little too much fun

Cold snaps can tighten muscles, stiffen joints, and make those “winter zoomies” turn into slips, strains, and sore spots fast.

Now is the perfect time to schedule a bodywork session to help your horse stay:
• Balanced
• Supple
• Comfortable
•Ready for winter work & play

Keep them feeling their best as temperatures drop and energy rises.

Pelvic & Hip Alignment — The Hidden Power Source

Every stride starts from the hind end.

When a horse’s pelvis is even slightly out of alignment, you’ll see it in every step — short strides, weak drive, or trouble picking up a lead.

Regular bodywork helps realign the pelvis and loosen the muscles that stabilize the hips, restoring balance and power.

💡 Think of it as putting your horse’s engine back in tune.

Reach out if you think your partner has lost some of that power.
Together we can get that power back and keep it!

Your performance horse’s body tells a story.
✔️ Crooked hips
✔️ Tight shoulders
✔️ Shortened stride
✔️ One-sided softness or resistance

All of these can be signs of misalignments that may not seem like a big deal today — but they can lead to lameness, poor performance, or even career-ending injuries down the road.

As a bodyworker, I focus on finding those hidden issues before they become major problems. I help your horse move freely, comfortably, and at their full potential.

🧠 This work isn’t just about recovery — it’s about keeping your athlete performing at their best.

I’m an equine bodyworker because I believe every horse—and every animal—deserves to feel their best.

Bodywork isn’t just about “massage.” It’s about helping horses move freely, relieve tension, recover from injuries, and perform at their peak. It’s about comfort, wellness, and giving animals a voice through touch.

I do this work because I love seeing a horse drop their head, sigh, or soften their eyes when we release a tight spot. I love when owners tell me their horses are moving better, feeling happier, or performing stronger after a session.

My goal is simple: to help animals feel good in their bodies so they can live, work, and play without pain.

Thanks for following along on my journey. If you’ve ever wondered whether bodywork might help your horse, dog, or other animals, I’m always happy to chat and answer questions!

If you’re not willing to put in the work during the week, you can’t expect your horse to perform on the weekend.

So many performance issues stem from lack of strength — not attitude, not a “small brain”, not tack fit — just not enough training.

Your horse is an athlete.
And like any athlete, they need consistent conditioning to stay strong, balanced, and injury-free.

Even 30 minutes, 3 times a week can make a huge difference in muscle development, coordination, and confidence.

Don’t wait until problems show up in the arena.
Put in the time. Build the foundation. Protect your partner. 🐎🔥

☀️ Texas Heat is Here – Let’s Talk SALT 🧂

As temps climb, salt isn’t just a nice option — it’s essential for your horse’s health.

Salt helps:
✅ Maintain hydration
✅ Encourage drinking (especially with increased sweat loss)
✅ Support nerve and muscle function
✅ Prevent issues like colic, tying up, and heat stress

If your horse is sweating, they’re losing both water and electrolytes. And without enough salt, they won’t replace what’s lost — or even want to drink as much as they should.

Pro Tip: Offer free-choice plain white salt and consider adding loose salt or electrolytes to grain or soaked hay cubes, especially after hard work or long hauls.

Got questions or want to make sure your horse is summer-ready? I’m just a message away. 💬

Meet Twister — one of my absolute favorite athletes!
This handsome guy belongs to The Real Deal Performance Horses out in New Braunfels, and he’s been working hard in and out of the show ring — earning medals, turning heads, and making us all proud.

Twister’s success isn’t just from great training — it’s also from the consistent care and maintenance that keep him feeling his best. Regular bodywork plays a huge role in keeping him supple, balanced, and ready to perform at his peak.

It’s an honor to be part of his team and to work alongside an owner who prioritizes his wellbeing as much as his wins. Go Twister!

Should you get your horses hooves taped?

The coronary band is the soft tissue ring at the top of the hoof where all hoof growth begins. It’s rich in blood vessels and nerves, and it plays a major role in the health of the entire hoof capsule.

Using kinesiology tape around this area can help support:
• Circulation: Encourages healthy blood flow to promote hoof growth and repair.
• Lymphatic Drainage: Helps reduce fluid buildup in the lower limb.
• Neuromuscular Awareness: Gently stimulates the area to support better limb communication and proprioception.

This technique is especially helpful for horses with:
• Slow or uneven hoof growth
• Lower limb swelling or inflammation
• Previous injuries affecting movement or circulation
• Support needs during rehab

Taping is not a cure-all, but when used correctly as part of a bodywork or rehab plan, it can provide meaningful support.

Have questions about how it works or if it’s right for your horse? I’m happy to chat!
