🎉 RP EQUINE THERAPY TURNS 5!! 🎉

Five years?! How is that even possible?! 🥹💙 Sometimes it feels like just yesterday, and other times it feels like a lifetime ago! What started as a passion for holistic horse care to help my own aging horse turned into something I am SO incredibly passionate about.

When Keenya was “just not right,” but wasn't lame and nothing showed up on diagnostics, I turned to Equibow and the Masterson Method to see if I could help him naturally. The difference was nothing short of amazing! He lived to 27, remained sound, and didn't require NSAIDs or injections for his comfort. I'm incredibly proud of that, and forever grateful for what he taught me. ❤️

He inspired me to pursue my massage certification (CEMT), and here I am, 5 years later! It's still a pinch-me moment that I get to work with horses and help them feel more comfortable in their own bodies.

🐴✨ Small business ownership isn't always easy (sometimes it's downright HARD!), but thinking about the horses reminds me why I keep going.

To all my amazing clients, THANK YOU for trusting me with your horses' comfort and well-being. It is an honour and a privilege I never take for granted. Every horse I've worked with has taught me something, and they continue to teach and amaze me with what they communicate through their behaviour, movement, and body language. I am committed to continuing my education and learning because your horses deserve the best I can offer. 💙

🎉 FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL! 🎉

To celebrate, I'm offering $10 OFF services for the rest of 2026!

✨ 1–2 horse appointments: $10 off
✨ 3+ horse appointments: $5 off (your multi-horse discount is already included!). It's my little way of saying thank you for supporting my small business!

And to my boy Keenya… this all started because of you. You changed the way I looked at horse care and set me on a path I never could have imagined. I will be grateful to you forever. 🌈❤️. Here's to 5 years of learning, growing, barnyard shenanigans, and helping horses feel good in their own bodies!

Thank you for being part of this journey. Here's to many more years of doing what I love !

💜🖤 Spooky season tape is HERE! 🎃👻

Tell me this purple tape isn’t POPPING on this black beauty! 💜🖤 A little Halloween flair with a whole lot of purpose. 😉

✨ A little reminder about kinesiology tape: it’s not just a pretty set of racing stripes! 🏁
When applied appropriately, kinesiology tape can help support:

💜 Circulation and fluid movement
💜 Muscle function and movement
💜 Joint support and stabilization
💜 Comfort in areas affected by arthritis or tension

And the best part? The tape continues doing its thing after our session is over! 🙌

🎃 No tricks, just treats! Kinesiology taping (along with red light therapy) is already included in my service prices. No add-ons, no hidden extras, just a little extra love for your horse when they need it. 🥰

Because feeling good never goes out of season! 🐴💜

🧡🍂 A Thanksgiving full of gratitude. 🍂

To every client who has trusted me with their horses, who continues to support my small business, who books those regular appointments, recommends me to friends, shares my posts, and chooses me to be a part of their horse’s care… thank you. Truly. ❤️

It is such a blessing to be able to do what I do. To spend my days getting to know these incredible animals, to be invited into their space, to earn their trust, and to help them feel more comfortable in their own bodies. Every horse I work with teaches me something, and every little moment of relaxation, every sigh, every soft eye, and every time a horse lets their guard down reminds me exactly why I chose this path.

I never take it for granted that you trust me with such a special part of your world. Horses are family, and being trusted to care for them is something I will always be grateful for. 🐴✨

And of course, there is one very special boy who deserves a thank-you of his own. 🤎

Keenya, my dear boy. You were the reason I found my way into holistic horse care and bodywork. When traditional approaches weren't giving you the help you needed in your golden years, you opened my eyes to a different way of caring for horses. You taught me to listen more closely, to be patient, to look beyond the obvious, and to always put the horse first.

What started as wanting to help you became a passion that now allows me to help so many others. A peice of you is present in every horse I work with. I will be grateful to you forever, my dear boy. 🕊️🤍

So this Thanksgiving, thank you to my wonderful clients, your amazing horses, and the special boy who started it all.

My little business may be small, but the love behind it is enormous. And I am one very lucky horse girl to get to do what I love. 🧡

Happy Thanksgiving from RP Equine Therapy to you and your four-legged family! 🍁🐴

POV: The days get cooler and suddenly my little red light friend is getting ALL the attention. 🔴😂

Listen, I know it looks like I’ve brought a tiny tanning bed to the barn…

BUT HEAR ME OUT. 😂

Red light therapy — also called photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to interact with cells and support the body’s natural processes.

For horses (and dogs as you can see modeled by Macey), it can be used alongside bodywork to support things like:

✨ Circulation
✨ Cellular energy and function
✨ Recovery
✨ Tissue repair
✨ Managing inflammation
✨ Overall comfort and relaxation

Basically, while I’m working on those muscles, my little red light friend is over there doing its own thing like:

“Don’t mind me, just helping.” 🔴😎

And honestly? I love the combination of massage + red light.

Because horses are complicated creatures. They compensate. They hold tension. They work hard. They get older. They get sore. They occasionally make questionable life choices involving fences, mud, blankets and gravity. 😂

So if I have another tool in my toolbox that can complement their bodywork session, I’m going to use it.

AND HERE’S THE BEST PART…

You don't pay extra for it. 👏

Red light therapy AND taping are already included in my services.

That's right.

No:
💸 “Oh, you want the red light? That'll be extra.”

Nope.

No:
💸 “Would you like to add some tape to that?”

Also nope.

If I think your horse could benefit from a little extra help from my tiny glowing barn buddy, it’s part of the service. 🔴🐴

If it can help support your horse, I'm going to use it when appropriate.

So yes…

I bring the massage.I bring the red light. I bring the tape.

Your horse brings the opinions. 😂

Seems like a pretty fair trade to me. ❤️🐴

Red light therapy is a complementary modality and does not replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment.

"It's October 3rd"....if you are of a certain vintage like me, you know lol

Have you ever really, I mean REALLY looked at your horse’s face? 👀🐴

I look at this pretty girl’s face every time I see her, but I’ll be honest… I don’t always really look at her. So today, let’s train our eye. 👀. Take a look at these two photos. What do you notice that’s different?

Now, I want to preface this with something: I am not super comfortable with before-and-after photos. There is SO much that can be done to stage them. You can make a photo tell pretty much whatever story you want it to tell. But I digress. 😂. **The face is different.**Other than things like ear position, it’s pretty darn difficult to intentionally stage a horse’s face to make it look a certain way.

In the before photo, her left eye is sitting slightly more back and toward the side of her face compared to the after photo. Her left nostril is also sitting higher.

So what changed between these two photos?

✨ CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY. ✨

And honestly… when I put these photos side by side, I was in awe.At first glance, it might not look like much. But look closer.

You can see how much tension she was carrying through the left side of her poll → atlas → TMJ region, and how that tension appeared to be affecting the positioning of the structures around her eye and face. Her temporalis muscles are also less tense and defined in the after photo.

This change happened over two craniosacral treatments, six weeks apart.And the really cool part? She has continued to maintain that more even appearance between her eyes. ❤️

And here’s another interesting thought...if a horse has one eye positioned differently because of tension or structural asymmetry, **could that potentially influence how they perceive their surroundings?**Could that contribute to a horse seeming more reactive or spooky? It’s something I find incredibly interesting — and something I’m continuing to learn about.

Because sometimes the things we notice during bodywork aren't huge changes. Sometimes they're tiny changes that become obvious once you know what you're looking for.

So take a minute today. Go look at your horse’s face. Not just “Awww, you're so pretty.” ❤️ Actually LOOK. You might be surprised by what you see.

🍂Sometimes the quiet, relaxed moments may not seem like much
But to me? They mean everything. ❤️

A big part of what I do is listen to the horse and let them guide the massage. Every horse is different. Some are open books from the moment I meet them, while others are more guarded and need a little more time, space, and trust.
And that’s okay. 🥰

They are allowed to express how they feel, and it’s my job to listen.
If a horse becomes tense, asks me to lighten my touch, or simply wants me to step away for a moment, there is nothing to be gained by pushing through. Bodywork should never be something that is done to a horse. It should be something we do with them.

Building that trusting relationship with these beautiful creatures is what it’s all about. 🐴✨
This seemingly innocuous little moment is actually one of the moments that fills my cup the most. Because in this moment, he is completely relaxed and fully trusting me.

And then came the big dramatic releases at the end of his massage. 😍

Those moments tell me he felt safe enough to let go, process, and truly relax into the work.
And honestly? I LOVE seeing it.

The big releases are amazing, but sometimes it’s the quiet moments in between that tell me the most. ❤️

Listen. Respect. Trust. Let the horse lead.
That’s the heart of my approach to bodywork. 🐴💆‍♀️✨

🍂 HAPPY FALL EQUINOX, FRIENDS! 🍂
AHHHHH… the crunching of leaves underfoot, pumpkin spice everything (I KNOW some of you have feelings about PSLs 😂), sweater weather, crisp mornings, NO MORE FLIES, and — my personal favourite — NOT SWEATING FROM EVERY SINGLE PORE JUST FOR EXISTING. 🙌🏻😂

Don’t come for me… but Fall, you are absolutely my favourite season. 🍁🧡

But while we humans are busy breaking out the sweaters and declaring pumpkin spice season officially open, our horses are also adjusting to the changing of the seasons.
And it’s more than just swapping a fly sheet for a blanket.

🍂 Temperature changes — cooler mornings and evenings can cause muscles to feel tighter
🍂 Changing activity levels — show season winds down. Changes in workload can mean changes in muscle demand.
🍂 Less daylight — shorter days can affect routines, turnout time, exercise schedules and overall activity.
🍂 Weather & footing — rain, mud, frost and eventually harder ground can all change how horses move
🍂 Blankets & layers — adding blankets can change how a horse moves, especially if fit is less than ideal.
🍂 Stiffness & compensation — changes in movement, turnout, workload and footing can contribute to horses compensating
🍂 Old aches can become more noticeable — horses who already have areas of restriction, arthritis or previous injuries may show more stiffness as temperatures and activity levels change.

And this is where bodywork can be a great part of your horse's seasonal transition. 👐🏻🐴
Massage can help address areas of muscular tension and restriction, support relaxation and encourage comfortable movement as your horse's routine changes.Maybe the shoulders are tighter. Maybe the hamstrings are talking. Maybe the back has decided it would like to file a formal complaint. 😂

Don't forget about the horse underneath that blanket. 🍂🧡

Help them navigate the changing seasons with a little extra TLC, movement, and bodywork when they need it.

Because comfortable horses are happy horses — in every season. 🐴✨
Happy Fall, friends! 🍁

All joking aside… 😂

I’ve always believed one thing:
Every horse deserves to feel as comfortable as possible in their own body. ❤️🐴

That’s actually why I got into equine bodywork in the first place — I wanted to help my own horse feel better in his golden years. And after seeing firsthand the difference massage made for him, and then seeing those same benefits in my client horses… well, here we are. 🥹

Horses are BIG. And their muscles are what move all that magnificent horse around. When muscles are tight, restricted or compensating, movement can be affected — and one compensation can lead to another, and another, and suddenly your horse is playing a very expensive game of “what hurts now?” 😬😂
Massage can help support:
✨ Muscle relaxation and flexibility
✨ Improved circulation
✨ Range of motion and mobility
✨ Recovery after exercise
✨ Reducing muscular tension
✨ Identifying areas of tension or compensation
✨ Maintaining healthy, supple muscles
✨ Overall comfort and relaxation
✨ Body awareness and connection
✨ Supporting horses through rehabilitation and changes in workload
And let’s not forget the mental side of things. Watching a horse soften, sigh, blink, yawn, release and just… exhale is pretty darn special. ❤️

So as we head into a new season, give your horse a little extra support. A little bodywork now can be a great way to help them stay comfortable, supple and moving well as their environment and workload change.

Because bodywork isn't just about fixing a problem.
It's about helping your horse feel good BEFORE their body starts screaming, “HEY HUMAN, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.” 😂
Prevention > crisis management. Every. Single. Time.

And honestly… if feeling this good comes with a few dramatic yawns and a droopy lip, I think we can all agree that's a pretty acceptable side effect❤️
