Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

🦃What are you grateful for this year?

10/25/2025

It’s been a busy 2025 and I’m so grateful! Now booking for next year… limited spaces available. 🖤

As I’m figuring out splitting my time between my regular bodywork business and my new rehabilitation business I’m finding that to ensure quality work for each horse I’m needing to rein in the amount of horses I work on.🖤

Starting in 2026 I will no longer be offering my “sponsored barn rates” and hope to focus more on consulting and rehab. I want to respect and nurture my relationships (both horse and human) in this equine community here in the greater Sacramento area.🖤

Please reach out to let me know your needs/wants in the coming year so I can facilitate appropriate time/space for each horse. My fellow bodyworkers and are available to step in to take on any clients/barns who need more visits/attention.🖤

I will be continuing my education also in 2026 and can’t wait to hone in on new techniques. Thank you for all of your support and let’s get cozy for winter, shall we? 🖤

Love always,
Hilary

🐴 I’m so appreciate for all of my clients. I’m hoping to focus more on my rehab horses in the future as well as clinics. But I’m so in love with my job and the many, many clients who stay focused on horse welfare and good horse management.🐴

I am grateful for the overwhelming support in both my professional and personal life- which shows the character of so many people in this small community which is the Sacramento area sport horse world.❤️

Please always feel free to reach out, ask questions and get curious about bodywork and physiotherapy.

Good luck to my clients riders number 61 and 62… one Arab and one mustang!! Woohoo!

The Tevis Cup 100 mile ride starts in Truckee ca at 5:15am and ends in Auburn 24 hours later.

The ride is referenced as the hardest endurance event in the world.

I was lucky enough to have two amazing horses in my life who helped me cross the finish line.

There is a 50% completion rate on this ride. This means only half of the competitors will even make it to the finish.

The ride in many ways is controversial because of its difficulty and unfortunate horse fatalities.

You do have to qualify for the Tevis Cup, however you do not have to qualify on the same horse you ride. Many people travel from all over the world to “catch ride”.

The Tevis cup is 100 grueling miles with mandatory vet exams throughout. If your horse is “fit to continue” you keep going…

I’m very glad I got to be apart of this ride before kids and before my accident.

Good luck and safe travels across mountains, rocks, meadows and roads. In the scorching heat and by the light of the moon. Crossing the America river following glow sticks and scarfing down food whenever possible.

Bless these amazing equine athletes who give their everything so that we can achieve a human goal. It’s really quite special.

Hands are a powerful tool. Learn to use them kindly, wisely, in a forgiving space. Energy moves through the hands, gently connecting to tissue, nerves, blood and organs. It’s not magic- it’s science.🐴

Anyone can learn to utilize their “feel”… this is one of the hardest things to teach a rider and the same is true for bodywork. Getting those “ten thousand hours” to be a master at it seems like a difficult task- but horses are very good teachers, guides, and mirrors.🐴

I’m so happy I decided to take on this challenge 7 years ago! I chose to first study Cranio Sacral Therapy (Cranial) because she’s I was drawn to its simplicity. Little did I know, it’s a very intricate and complicated modality. However, the horses love it and from what I can tell- need it- to preform as their most optimum selves.🐴

We tend to lose ourselves in the bustle of work, shows, scheduling, perfection- but horses don’t do this. So we must catch up to them in knowledge and patience. And try to do better for their sake.🐴

I hope the next 7 years of bodywork and horsey snuggles are as successful as the first 7. I’m very grateful to all of my clients who believe in me, work with me, try to listen, try to understand and who have an open heart. It’s quite beautiful 💓

Thank you,
Hilary

The Centered Equine Approach

Horse and human have worked together for Centuries. Gaining trust and sometimes losing it. The prey/predator relationship that I still can’t fully understand, truly amazes me. Horses are healers themselves, so it is my greatest pleasure to offer them comfort, solace, and relief in their sessions with me.

It’s been my experience that horses and riders often share issues. Whether it is the bond they share or the overwhelming empathy of the animal, an almost uncanny connection is often made. For this I try and bring to justice the equines fears and emotions while supporting the riders needs. This can be a hard balance. Sometimes a horse doesn’t truly want to heal. A protection mechanism going back years and years. PTSD in both horse and caregiver can be relevant and will full.

Helping the human obtain certain goals while never compromising the horse- that is the fine line I walk. Fortunately I have come across some of the best owners on the planet, and their horses needs are most certainly put first. The healing aspect of hands molded with my ability to clearly listen, is where my techniques stand apart. I am proud to say that at the end of a session, your horse will feel more at ease with themselves and the world around them.

It is an on going process. One which we all face. But the horse wants to be heard and acknowledged. They try their best to please and forgive our mistakes. It is my belief that these brief sessions of bodywork combining ancient Chinese practices such as acupressure as well as cranial sacral, chakra balancing, somato emotional release and massage have powerful contributing factors to the horses well-being and therefore the owners as well.
