Had another session with this horse today, was happy to see that his pectoral balance remained from last time. His releases were full and expressive. He let me work closer to his most guarded area (c1/2 and TMJ). We built some trust, learned that it doesn’t always have to hurt, found some nerve compression and jokingly, but quite seriously, worked through some childhood trauma. This was his 3rd or 4th session and the onion layers keep coming off.

Same, but different.

Always looking for the resistance. Knowing origin and insertion. Thinking fascial lines. Repetitive motion. Pin and stretch. Long fascial release.

Through the past 15 years of bettering my knowledge and getting my hands & brain through thousands of treatments I have identified paths that I naturally look to when problems come to me.

The most common is the sore upper shoulder/back and sharp pain in the neck. 🤔 Have a horse that is stiff, reactive and takes a long time to warm up. Resistant to collecting and feels short in the front. Remember what you feel like when you woke up with that neck and it was an ache in your shoulder blade by the end of the day.

🫶 it’s not a miracle it’s just applying the right amount of the appropriate technique where needed. Just like when you get off the table and say “oh that’s so much better” and I have to remind you Motion Is Lotion and to come see me again in the next 2 weeks to maintain the momentum we gained.

Same, but different.

🫶 I really love this work.

What does Horse Show Bodywork mean? Being on site and available for you, and your horse for performance prep. Not to replace your at home care, but to support you both through the weekend with performance and recovery through massage, stretching, assessments, k tape, cupping, Bemer and more. With over 3000 hours combined human & equine training and 15 years experience I have a unique approach and therapeutic style. With my busy office in Chester I’m not able to travel all over the state (🌟though I do have my core group of horses I travel for and will add more if you want on the performance horse program!🌟).

Being available at shows provides you access to me on a semi regular basis this season at the; North Country Stock Horse Assn, Rocky Mountain Breeders Association and Treasure State Cutting Horse Association shows.

☀️ The 2 day warm weather shows will be much nicer for bodywork so bring your gym clothes and get on the table between classes for some stretch therapy to work out any issues and ride into your next class even better.

I took this 5 minute video a while back and sped it up here as fast as Ig will let me. I wanted to show you how subtle myofascial work can be. Watch how little my hands move. If you watch the mares ears and head she had some nice big yawns, backs into the “pressure” and was licking/chewing. Heidi even offers a big stretch as some group therapy support haha (for real though I love when the whole drops into relaxation).

🔺 There can be some perceived pressure to “perform” when an owner or trainer is watching me work on a horse. No one stands in the room and watches when I work on a human, anxiously waiting for the human to give a big yawn or announce they are fixed (although some do, oh if horses could talk). 🔺

No matter what continuing education I take, or what modality I add to my practice- when it comes to horses I always find LESS IS MORE. Taking that deep breath, tuning out what’s happening outside the stall and just listening to the tissue is the key to a good session.

I tailor and adapt my horse show sessions to the horse and the moment based on what they present with and where they are in their weekend of classes . Another thing to consider though is the horses ability at that moment to relax - horse show grounds can be hectic and if they aren’t able in that scheduled session to benefit from work like this - Bemer, Equipod, K Tape, more movement based massage and stretching techniques come in. Being adaptable and able to customize the session is something I will always strive to provide to any horse or human on my schedule 🫶.
