Being a bodyworker for 13 years has taught me so much more than just how to work through tension. This work forces you to look out our day to day practices and how they affect horses minds and bodies.

The amazing thing is hundreds of horse owners have already made progress that would’ve taken months if not years! Link in bio!

If your horse has issues with shoulder mobility (short choppy strides, asymmetry, etc.) you need to know these 5 muscles ⬇️

The Bicep, Deltoid, Infraspinatus, Supraspinatus, and Brachiocephalicus. Each of these plays a huge role in the balance and mobility of the shoulder. Learn how to release these 5 muscles through step by step instructions ➡️ link in bio!

"My horse always tries to bite me when I groom him."

This is one of the most common signs of muscle pain I see, and it is the one most likely to get a horse labeled instead of examined.

Think about what grooming actually is. You are applying pressure across the entire body, every day, with a tool designed to exfoliate dirt and clean the hair and skin. That discomfort to touch is often one of the first signs that a horses musculature is not in good condition.

Tension gets treated like a minor inconvenience. Something to rub out. Something that will loosen up once he gets going.

It is not minor.

A tight muscle has reduced blood flow, reduced range of motion, and less ability to absorb load. Your horse is paying for that on every stride he takes.

But here is the part most people miss:

Muscles do not tighten at random. That tissue is either guarding something that already hurts, or it has quietly taken over the job of a muscle that stopped pulling its weight. Either way, the tightness is not the beginning of the story.

So when you find a tight spot, you have actually found two things. Something worth addressing right now, and a clue about where to look next.

The mistake is thinking that the issue is isolated. This is why all of my courses cover the whole body, because it’s rare that there is one problem, in one spot, and it started and stops there… that really doesn’t happen!

If you have a spot that keeps coming back in the same place, that is your horse handing you information.

I am not exaggerating when I say this... correctly applied bodywork is ALWAYS beneficial. When applied safely and correctly, the techniques I have taught for over a decade will not fail you or your horse, but one of these problems may make you think they did (fail you).

→ You don't know what normal looks like yet
→ Your saddle fit problem is outworking 1 hour a month of massage
→ It was one session, not a plan
→ There's a medical issue that hasn't been diagnosed (call your vet please)
→ The technique wasn't specific enough to find the actual problem
→ Or it worked, and nobody taught you to see it

Six reasons. Not one of them means bodywork doesn't work.
Swipe through, I'd bet at least one of these sounds familiar. 🐴

Learn to actually find the spot, not just relax the surface, inside The Masterclass Membership. The membership is free for 7 days which is plenty of time to learn at least one technique and try to apply it!
