White Horse Bodywork

The thoracic sling plays a huge role in how a horse supports and moves their body. Because it has no bony attachment to the front limbs, these muscles and soft tissues work hard to suspend the horse’s trunk between the forelimbs.

Manual massage and thoughtful bodywork can help us assess and address tension in this often-overlooked area. But don’t stop at the structures you can easily see or reach.

Look underneath. Look between. Look beyond the obvious. 👀

I love my herd "stalls". Every morning, all horses are together in one stall. I have 2 15x30 stalls that can be subdivided if necessary. This allows shelter while maintaining the herd dynamics.

Mane pulls is a gentle and effective myofascial release technique that anyone can perform successfully. Gather the mane at the base with one or two handfulls. Gently and slowly pull upwards. Hold for a few minutes. Shift the direction of pull to the right and towards the left. This simple decompression of the fascia can improve skin mobility and functional range of motion.

Treating Without Pain...that's the key!

Being aggressive makes no sense. The more pain you create, and the more aggressive you are, the more the body will protect itself. Stiffness, tightness, weakness and swelling are all protective responses. You can get people to have full ROM in 1/2 the time if you start with the skin layer… not the muscle and joint.
