October is always the best month of the year in Northern Virginia. We are savoring every bit before the weather turns cooler.

Student Update: From Alyce Null of Top Tier Equine LLC and Gabby too!🐴❤️
I graduated from Equissage about two years ago, and Gabby has been one of the horses who has shown me firsthand just how valuable massage can be.

Gabby is partially blind, and because of the way she carries and compensates for herself, she has always struggled with muscle tension and soreness throughout her body. Regular massage has become a really important part of keeping her comfortable, mobile, and feeling well enough to continue being ridden and doing the things she enjoys.

One of my favorite parts of working with Gabby, though, has been what massage has done for our relationship. Because of her limited vision, trust is incredibly important to her. Spending that quiet, hands-on time together has helped me learn to read the smallest changes in her body and behavior, while also helping her become more comfortable and trusting with me. Our bond has grown tremendously through it.

Gabby is actually a big part of why I’ve continued pursuing education in equine bodywork and rehabilitation. Since graduating from Equissage, I’ve gone on to start my own business, Top Tier Equine LLC, where I now get to help other horses feel and move their best too.

It’s pretty special that something I originally learned to help horses like Gabby has turned into our career I genuinely love-and she still gets to enjoy the benefits herself!

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Alyce!

From Kelleen Ison: I took your course almost 7 years ago now and have since moved from working primarily on horses, to working on dogs! Competitive sheepdogs, specifically.

I train and compete with border collies and USBCHA sheepdog trials-this entails highly trained dogs to fetch sheep and move them around a course as accurately, and as controlled as possible.

Last year, I traveled from Ohio to California for our national finals to compete with my own dogs, and I had the pleasure of working on some of the top dogs in the country while I was there! I’ll be doing the same again in just of couple of weeks.

Here are some shots of my dogs working. These athletes have a very taxing workload and massage, no doubt, keeps them in tiptop shape to continue performing their best.

Big thanks to you all at Equissage for giving me such a wonderful foundation.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Kelleen! We wish you continued success!🎉

We will be sharing more stories over the next couple of months. If you have a story you would like to share just send us email.
