As this year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me while I took the leap to start my Equine Massage journey. From the kind words and referrals to trusting me with your horses, it has truly meant more than you know.
This year brought growth, learning, and so much gratitude—and now it’s also bringing my greatest blessing yet. As I prepare to welcome our little girl, I’ll be taking some time away, but I’m already so excited for what the new year holds.
I’ll be starting back up in March, refreshed, grateful, and ready to continue helping horses feel their best. Thank you for standing by me through it all. Your support has made this dream possible, and I can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes us.
Here’s to new beginnings, growth, and an exciting year ahead 💗✨

🎄✨ Merry Christmas from us! ✨🎄
If you didn’t know, the “P” in CRP stands for Peppermint—and she truly is my girl.
We’ve enjoyed a year away from racing, spending that time strengthening our partnership and exploring new techniques together—something she’s taken to beautifully. It’s been a special season of growth, learning, and connection.
We’re excited to get back into the groove next year, with a little one by our side, making this journey even more meaningful.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas. There’s nothing quite like spending the holidays with your horses. 🎅🏼🐴✨

1 year ago I lost the horse that was always my go to. Everyone that knows me knew Reno or about him. We were a team for 6 years before I retired him. This horse is the reason why I started CRP Equine Massage and why I like to talk about Kissing Spine and ways to help it. I retired him after he won our first rodeo together, later on that year we had our old vet out and he told us that it was good to retire him when I did because his spine got progressively worse. The main way to get rid of Kissing Spine is surgery. At that point with him being in his late teens, not having the money for surgery and I already retired him. I decided that it was time to start learning what I know now and to keep learning. There are many exercises to now help with Kissing Spine and decrease the possibility of it happening and for horses that already had the surgery to help build back what they lost and get their Range of Motion. When you hear me talk about my "ol man" just remember that I am talking about this horse right here and how he changed me and challenged me for the better, and that hes the reason why I started Massage and why I'm still learning more techniques and more ways to help every horse I can.

I've also been asked what CRP stands for so here is what it stands for they are all initials.
C- Cheyennee (me)
R- Reno (the one this is about)
P- Peppermint (my 10 yr old mare)

Kissing Spine can be a hard thing to deal with. With the correct techniques massage and more can help. As some know the reason I got into massage is to help my old man who had Kissing Spine, now I am working on horses with Kissing Spine or have had the surgery for it.

Studies have shown that in horses with kissing spines (overriding or impinging dorsal spinous processes), the interspinous ligament often becomes inflamed or fibrotic.

This chronic irritation can lead to:

🔹 Increased sensory nerve fibers (hyper-innervation)
• This phenomenon, often referred to as neuronal sprouting, is common in chronically inflamed or damaged tissues.
• It heightens the area’s sensitivity to mechanical pressure, movement, or even mild touch.

🔹 Clinical Relevance
• This explains why horses with kissing spines can display dramatic or unpredictable behaviors under saddle, even if they don’t show clear signs of lameness.
• Pain from hyper-innervated tissue can be sharp, localized, and exacerbated by back movement, especially when the saddle or rider compresses the spine.

Massage therapy can be a powerful tool for horses with kissing spines.

Massage helps by:

✅ Reducing muscular tension
✅ Improving circulation
✅ Releasing fascial restrictions
✅ Reducing pain and discomfort
✅ Alleviate compensatory patterns that contribute to pain.

Over time, this support allows the horse to adopt a healthier posture—lifting through the thoracic sling, engaging the core, and reducing pressure between the spinous processes—ultimately promoting better movement and comfort.

🧠 Bonus Insight

This kind of neural adaptation is also observed in humans with chronic back pain, where ligamentous or fascial structures develop increased nociceptive input, contributing to pain sensitization and sometimes movement avoidance behaviors.

* The interspinous ligament connects the spinous processes of adjacent thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. It supports spinal stability and helps limit excessive flexion. In conditions like kissing spines, it can become inflamed, thickened, or fibrotic, contributing to pain and restricted mobility.
