Story from Mandi, recent home study graduate ⭐️

“One of my most meaningful success stories is with my late mare, Mouse (PeptoMouse). She was a registered Quarter Horse originally bred for cattle work. When I got her, she had been a brood mare, but she quickly transitioned back into performance work. During our short time together, Mouse had a strong passion for her job but faced physical challenges due to Lyme disease. What helped her overcome those struggles was a combination of massage, chiropractic care, and ther-a-plate sessions. She received monthly adjustments and biweekly massages, responding with yawns, stretches, and subtle movements to show where she needed. Watching her relax and communicate during those sessions was just as therapeutic for me as it was for her. Mouse's journey and the comfort she found in body work became my inspiration for pursuing Equine Sports massage.”

Amazing success story from Renee, who recently completed the equine home study program ⭐️

“Venus is my 22-year-old Dutch Warmblood who had a healthy career in dressage. In January 2025, she endured two surgeries. The first was on both hind legs, where the fascia and the nerves were cut (bilateral hindlimb fasciotomy and neurectomy). Two weeks later, she had surgery on her poll to treat nuchal bursitis and remove mineral deposits that were causing pain and inflammation (arthroscopic excision).
Two weeks after the second surgery, Venus was cleared for massage. I practiced Equissage sports massage therapy 2-3 times per week. I knew this type of massage would improve circulation to aid healing and reduce tension in surrounding muscles that had been compensating for the injuries.
She had a one-month follow-up appointment. Her surgeon wrote, "Well, I'm pretty darn happy with Venus at this point. She looks pretty sound trotting in hand for us here. Very happy with how her poll feels and looks; that seems to have healed nicely!"
Today, 5-weeks post-op, she is tack walking with energy, consistently asks to trot (even though she's not allowed to canter) and does not tire by the end of a 30-minute lesson. She is expected to make a full recovery and will soon be able to do lower-level dressage. Sports massage is a critical part of her rehabilitation and proves that the healing power of touch can yield remarkable transformations.”

We have one class opening left for the week of May 19th! Visit our website to secure your spot 🐴

An article that came out in 1998. It’s now 2025 and people still might think it’s a little crazy, but hey, the results speak for themselves! 😂

Congratulations to Megan and Bruno! Megan completed the Home Study Program earlier this month. Bruno was quite the model too! It’s obvious that these two share a beautiful bond. 🌟
