Before I sign out to go on our family vacation (I’ll send this week’s charts when I can)- check out the update on this mare!

The full body “before” is before her second session with me. The “after” and the photos of her legs are all from her fourth session yesterday.

Yesterday I mainly worked through her vertebrae and any restrictions she may have in her spinal movement, along with other compensatory areas. Her shoulders opened and the twist in her legs improved dramatically this session.

I’m very happy about her changes and how she’s growing stronger. Her muscles are softening and not as pronounced and her tissues are well hydrated. We are still a ways away from maintaining due to her job, but her caretakers are doing great making sure they prioritize proper movement to continue to help her along.

I’ll have a few spots in August for bodywork sessions, reach out to get scheduled!

Skagit County 4-H Clients:

I’ve opened up a couple of spots on August 4th to squeeze in 4-H horses before fair that week. If you missed out on my other dates, reach out and I can get you on the schedule!

I am also going to be at the fairgrounds again on 8/6 after showmanship to help support the horses through the long week!

4-H Pricing:

Kinesiology tape: $30
If your horse doesn’t hold tape well, I have adhesive spray that I can apply that helps it stick around much longer (no charge).

PEMF Therapy Blanket: $45.
Low level PEMF is great for relaxation, increasing circulation, relieving discomfort, and improving over all well-being.

K-tape & PEMF Therapy Blanket combo: $60

Your horses work hard for you during fair. For many of them, it can be stressful and a huge change to be in a stall for that many days in a row. Taking care of their body is one way to help take some of the stress out of it and help them perform at their best.

Please comment, text, or message me so I can get a head count to ensure I pack enough tape!

It’s bathing season here in the PNW. 🫧🧼

Those soap dispenser sprayers are convenient, but if you’re not also giving your horse a good scrub with a curry or bathing brush, your horse is missing out!

Scrubbing in small circular motions stimulates circulation, helps to soften the fascia, loosen adhesions or scarring, and relax the superficial muscles. It also gives you the opportunity to assess where your horse may be tender or holding tension depending on how they respond to the stimulation. They also love it down the legs and over the joints!

It’s been great weather for a bath, but you can also do this with a rubber curry in any weather!

Happy scrubbing! 🧽

ALL SPOTS FILLED! Might have some wiggle room for full days in one location 🤗 I have some spots left the first week of August as well.

I have a few spots open this month:

24th: FULL
28th: FULL
29th: FULL

I might have some wiggle room for a full day to open more, but am otherwise limited.

August is filling up as well. If you’re looking to sneak in before county fair, I would snag a spot above or I have one opening on August 5th left (NOW FILLED).

Bone supports muscles.
Muscles move bones.
Joints allow movement.
Ligaments stabilize joints.

This horse presented with neck stiffness and a lack of bend. Upon palpation, there was a large “dent” in the low neck while the opposite side (left) was slightly bulged out. The asymmetry was very obvious at the time of the session, no matter how I positioned the horse or moved the neck around. The left side was very sensitive when palpating the lower cervical region and under the shoulder.

After bodywork and checking range of motion, the symmetry in the neck had returned. The sensitivity on the left had mostly resolved as well. The first photo is the “after” and the second is the “before” (mane was flipped). Pretty wild!

All of this was done with soft tissue and stretching work. In most cases, softening the tension in the muscles allows the bones to move back to where they function best.

I work with a great chiropractor who often finds the areas I had concerns about during a session resolve before she sees them. Especially restricted or sensitive areas that continue post session can still benefit from a licensed chiropractor taking a look as needed. My usual recommendation is within a week or so of their session with me so the muscles are still as soft as possible.

Is your horse stiff or having difficulty with movement? They could benefit from adding a qualified body worker to their routine!

Planning ahead… there are so many events coming up!

Sedro Woolley Rodeo
Darrington Rodeo
Clover Classic
County Fair
Playdays
Schooling Shows
Races
Breed Shows

Make sure to schedule your appointments ahead of time, I don’t have nearly as much room to fit in last minute appointments as I have in previous years. I already have clients booking into August to secure their spots before or after large events.

Remember to take care of the horse that’s taking care of you. Keep them moving and performing well or help them recover after a long show. 🐴

Comment, message, or text me to get on the schedule! I’ll be getting back to most messages and pending appointments over the next couple of days. It’s been an extremely busy couple of weeks, which I am thankful for!

Back pain is complex… I find it’s typically a symptom of dysfunction somewhere else in the body.

It’s rare I see a tight and painful back in my regular clients these days, so it was fun to work through and return this horse’s muscles back to their normal bouncy state.

Subtle changes on the outside, big changes on the inside.

Before her original bodywork session about two weeks prior to this session, this mare was very bound in her body- carried herself with a high head, tight through the shoulders, contracted lumbar, stiff gait, and was extremely choppy to ride. The focus on the session was relieving the tension in the hind end and lumbar, with a plan to focus more on the front end next time. The whole body was addressed during the session, but there was a lot to unravel with this one.

After her session, she seemed to have grown and lengthened and was reported to have felt amazing under saddle, able to stretch down and move her front end so much more. She regressed back to a high head carriage two weeks in, so I was able to swap her out during a visit for another horse to see what was going on.

Her shoulders, neck, and ribcage were restricted and weren’t working well with the body as a whole. After her session, as seen below, she was more relaxed through the entire neck, lifted through the withers, and standing more solidly on her front legs. Her ribcage suppled and her tissue was overall much more soft.

Her next session I hope to utilize NMES to help her body and brain connection for proper movement along with massage.

Sometimes you need to have your horse seen more often than planned to rewrite the patterns of compensation… especially a long standing pattern that takes time to change, along with corrective exercise.

I need to get better at taking “before” photos because this horse had such a huge change in just her first session. 🐴
