Has your horse been abducted by aliens??? 👽👽👽

Think about it. Your horse puts in a stellar performance at the competition on Friday and Saturday. You enter the show ring on Sunday, expecting the same level of brilliance. Instead, you find yourself sitting on a fire breathing dragon! 🔥🐲

Your horse is suddenly pinning his ears, swishing his tail, refusing to go forward, or worse..... rearing and bucking 😖

What happened??? Surely your horse was abducted by aliens in the middle of the night, and swapped out for this monster!!! 👹

More likely, your horse is suffering from sore muscles 💪🏼 Just like when you put in your best effort on leg day at the gym. The next day you can walk....... it's the DAY AFTER that you're considering signing up for Life Alert! 😂

Acupressure and Massage Therapy can get your horse right back to performing at optimum level. EquiZen is available for pre-show prep sessions and post-show recovery sessions, as well as on-site sessions during the show. 🥇🐴🏆

Folks...... it is HOT 🥵

Like......... EXTREMELY, DANGEROUSLY HOT 🥵🥵🥵

Did you know that, from a Chinese Medicine perspective, DIARRHEA is one way your horse can clear HEAT from their body??? 💩🔥💩🔥💩🔥

It's important to schedule an Acupressure session for your horse during weather extremes. Getting these points back to a balanced state will help your horse's digestion, and help them hold onto hydration 💧💧💧

But did you also know that PEOPLE can experience similar symptoms from the heat??? 🥵💩🫣

Don't worry; I can help that too! 🎉

I am now able to perform Auricular Therapy (ear acupressure) on people! Auricular Therapy can help a variety of issues, including digestion, insomnia, headaches and fatigue!

DID YOU KNOW??? Acupressure and Massage Therapy can help your horse stay healthy during cold temperatures and drastic weather changes!

Massage Therapy can help keep your horse’s muscles loose and flexible, which can make your horse more comfortable and help to avoid injury.

Acupressure can help boost your horse’s immune system, keep him hydrated, relieve arthritis pain, reduce inflammation, and help his body adjust to drastic changes in temperature. Acupressure can help keep digestion moving smoothly, improving both absorption of nutrients and proper evacuation. Acupressure can also improve vascular circulation and nourish the blood.

The Bladder Meridian is especially important, as it is weakest during this time of year. The Bladder Meridian is the longest of all the Meridians, with 67 points on it! The Bladder Meridian controls urination, supports the skeleton and helps with fearful behavior. Blockages in the Bladder Meridian can often mimic back soreness. Check out the video in the comments to learn more!

Please text 864-276-8536 today to schedule an appointment to keep your horse healthy!

Has your horse experienced any stocking up in their legs over the last 2 weeks?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, stocking up is considered a damp stagnation, where fluid gets stuck in one place.

According to Dr Angie Lipson, “Dampness in the body can manifest as a concentrated pain. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, arthritis is categorized as a damp pain because it stays in one place and is aggravated by changing temperatures and environmental factors.”

EquiZen can use several Acupressure points on the Stomach, Spleen, Kidney and Bladder Meridians to help move that damp stagnation.

My own horse had puffy hind fetlocks just a few days ago. 24 hours after her Acupressure & Massage session, the swelling was gone and she was as good as new.

Of course, if your horse’s swelling is severe, or it is accompanied by a fever, call your veterinarian right away, as this could indicate a more serious condition. EquiZen can offer supportive care after veterinary treatment.

Call or text 864-276-8536 today to schedule your horse’s appointment!

People often ask me, "How often should I schedule an Acupressure and Massage Therapy session for my horse?" 📆

My answer is........... it depends 🤔 Some horses need to be seen more frequently if they are in heavy training, recovering from an illness or injury, or if there are drastic changes or extremes in weather or environment.

Other horses do just fine with a maintenance schedule.

For example, horses with a packed competition schedule might be seen for a prep session before the show, as well as a recovery session after the show, especially if they are trailering a long distance.

The majority of horses I work on are able to stick to a once-a-month schedule. Other horses do better with every 3 weeks, while others can be seen every 6 weeks.

Some horses even get bodywork done once a week!!!!!!!! Ok, that's my own horse, but she's a little spoiled 😉

Want to know what's best for your horse? Let's talk! Call or text me at 864-276-8536! 📆💜🐴🏆☯️
