I am so deeply grateful I get to do this work. Days like yesterday truly fill my heart and soul.

7 beautiful humans came to learn ways to help their horses, from some supplement discussions to learning massage strokes and accomplishing relaxation with their horses through massage.

Days like these are pure magic. Huge thank you to all that participated (including the kittens), Mandorla Farm for hosting this clinic and all of my teachers on my journey!

Thank you Jane 💖

A couple of decades back when I was studying health science, my class group was told a story about peanuts. Peanuts are prone to a black growth called aflatoxin, which you can also see on occasion on the inside of a capsicum or bell pepper.

The government had a percentage that the peanuts had to pass- an aflatoxin test if you will- to deem the peanuts fit for human consumption. That year, most of the peanuts failed the test. Faced with the option (not to mention the opposition) of disposing of a huge number of peanuts (and the economic flow on effects), they instead lowered the percentage requirement and kept those peanuts sailing through.

You might be thinking, well, what has this story got to do with anything you might teach or share here? But I feel like it’s a metaphor for so many things, especially when it comes to our wellness and our health.

So many humans and horses are dealing with dysfunction that the dysfunction itself has become normalized. Like the effected peanuts passing the test, the bar has dropped on what we consider to be ok and then we come to consider that state of being as the norm.

But a normalized bar on a dysfunctional state of being does not equal wellness.

I could go on all day to the factors that contribute to this being the case, much of which you already know, and many of which are not necessarily our fault. But even if it’s not our individual fault that we landed here, it’s our individual responsibility to somehow find our way out. To look beyond the plight of ‘most’ and ‘many’, to refuse to accept it as the end goal.

And beyond that, we need to recognize that if we or our horse have spent any number of years in a state we recognize as un-ideal, then it’s going to take some time to ease our way out of them.

Most practices dedicated to well-being are not quick fixes, and don’t pretend to be such. At their essence, they are a way of life that do not prioritize temporary comfort over the reality of the work and time it takes to truly help a horse or human find vitality.

A moment of ‘feeling better’ is easy to create, and these moments have their place. But changing the way that a body is functioning at a deeper more foundational level is much longer and more intensive work. Work that is not necessarily instantly gratifying or fast rewarding, simply because we don’t get to consciously decide how long it takes. The body does, a process that is unconsciously and intuitively driven.

As a coach and someone dedicated to the latter, that’s a hard package to sell. It’s a process that only proves itself over time, which means time must be actively given.

Onwards,

❤️ Jane

A balanced hoof enables a healthy horse.

I may not talk about this enough. Hoof to foot balance not only supports a mechanically comfortable horse it also supports whole horse health. Hoof to foot balance not only supports proper hemodynamics but also lymph function, health of the hoof structures and the entire body!

Estella is getting amazing results with Applied Equine Podietry on her clients. I have been so wowed by the changes in the horses entire body, their stance improves, puffiness under the eyes disappears, pain indicators reduce.

It’s truly beautiful.

I actually Attended a two day clinic with John Saint Ryan last summer. He is very knowledgeable and very fair to both the horse and rider. He will hold you accountable, you will learn, your horse will love him, so will you!

Highly recommend this clinic if you are able!

Another magical weekend at Mandorla Farm created by my magical friend Estella Ray hosting the incomparable Tara Davis for an incredible learning journey. Every soul that arrived found the magic and ease created between horse, human and kitten.
The energy was so beautiful. Marin and I learned so much from Tara and about each other during our session.
Magic 💖

It's time! I haven't offered a special in a long while but, with all the stress around this time of year and crazy inflation, I thought it might be nice to offer a limited number of special gift certificates in hopes to give a little ease this winter!

Send me a message if want one for your own horse or for a friend!

Local Clients only please. Though I still love to travel for groups

Truer words…

How can you be sure your horse isn't in pain?

You can't. 😞

I'm sorry, it's true. 🤷

Until we can read horses' minds or they learn to speak, we can't say for sure whether a horse is in pain or not.

Let me share a personal story with you. 📚

My knee has hurt me for YEARS. As a kid, I twisted my knee terribly in a skiing accident. Later I hit the asphalt hard while running on the same knee. Then about a year ago, a running horse hit me from behind, causing me to land on the same knee on the asphalt again. 😫🤕

It's never been the same since.

HOWEVER... I walk and run normally, I'm extremely active (I can ride, squat, hike, swim, whatever normally), the knee palpates and flexes normally, and it's not reactive to any touches or movements... The doctor even told me my *bad* knee palpates better than my good one 🤷

But yet it hurts.

Just because the doctor can't find it (yet, we are waiting on further diagnostics), doesn't mean it's not there.

Now imagine if I couldn't communicate with the doctor in any way to tell them I'm in pain. If they could *only* go off of symptoms.

Now pretend that story was about a horse.

The moral of the story is... Just because your vet can't find the cause, doesn't mean your horse isn't in pain.

And the only way your horse can communicate pain is through their behavior. Sometimes that's a sour expression when the saddle goes on, and sometimes it's three-legged limping around. Sometimes pain looks like "laziness", sometimes it looks like a tail swish, and sometimes it looks like a rear. Sometimes it's as subtle as tension around the eyes and nostrils.

Believe your horse. Listen to them. If they say they are in pain, they are in pain.

Spa day for Bails. I gave my girl a nice little balanced hoof trim and some PEMF. She might be spoiled but she deserves it.

Winter is coming and I'm looking for recommendations on warm and long coats for when I'm working on your horses. I am not a fan of the sleeping bag look and I do Love the Kerrits style coat seen here but, they seem to be out of stock

13/09/2023

Wonderful work by my dear friend, and incredible changes in this horse’s feet/hooves!
Just shows us again how much capacity for healing the body has when we give it the opportunity and support it needs!

Flexibility and toolboxes

Sometimes what we plan to do is the last thing we should do.

For instance, meet Judd, a very sweet quarter horse gelding. Judd’s owner has been starting down the Balance Through Movement Method path with him and Judd really struggles to let go so, I was called out for a nerve release session.
We start our session and Judd plainly says “No!” Even to the suggestion of softening those muscles. Ok Judd, let’s try something different to help you relax and soften. From my toolbox I pull my fascial lines knowledge (thank you Kim Bauer). I change our session to releasing Judd’s tight fascial lines. He loves it!
Judd went from tense and alert to relaxing into the fascial line work, he starts breathing, licking and chewing, yawning, blowing out and processing. We have progress!
After working through Judd’s tight fascial lines I again attempt some nerve release work, Judd accepts the change much more readily. While the work is still hard for him, he has some much needed releases. As you can see in the after (bottom photo) Judd still has a ways to go, I am just thrilled to have found a way to work with him that was more comfortable.
I am always a student. What works for one horse may not work for another. Having more tools to choose from is so incredibly useful and valuable in my work. ❤️ thank you to Judd and his owner for having me out!

It was Bastille’s day!

“He’s walking around so much better instantly!! Thank you so much!”

I love this horse! Bastille is just an awesome guy. He’s the go anywhere do anything kind of horse. VERY stoic.
This is my second session with Bastille and although he wouldn’t let me get a photo of him yawning (which he did a lot of, every time the camera came out he noticed and shut his mouth so, I quit trying). This go around he really let go of A LOT!
From camped under and tight to much more relaxed.
His caretaker noted immediate changes in his movement after our session as well.

I love helping these guys so much!

What can having a balanced trim do for your horse?
What a pleasure it was to work with Horsemanship and Hooves - By Estella and this incredibly gracious horse.

Well, it’s been a few months but Bailey’s back has been pain free for two weeks, no small feat. I have been working with an amazing trimmer, Shelly Morfeld, every trim cycle (two weeks) Bailey has been better and better. I followed the last trim with an SI massage and her pain free days seem to have stuck with her. We are so pleased.
After her lunge today I rode her to cool her out, then gave her a mini PEMF treatment that she LOVED.
However... she then decided to step on herself and put a nice little gash in her coronet band. You win some, you lose some but, it’s great to be able to ride her again!

Reinhart Equine Therapies is now offering PEMF. Sessions are pain free, non invasive and require no down time.

This handsome fella is Danny, an OTTB that has been trained for jumping. Danny has been a little off recently so he’s gotten a couple sessions. He always has BIG releases. He seems to be enjoying this neck stroke and let’s out a big yawn after releasing some tension. Way to be present Danny boy!!

Hello All,
I am considering adding the iMRS PEMF system to my service. What is your interest level?

PEMF stands for Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field. This system is set up to work with the natural rhythms of the horse.
PEMF has had great success Promoting:
Healing
Circulation
Physical and metabolic Performance
Relaxation

Just to name a few.
This is also the only non invasive system available, meaning, the main system doesn't even need to touch the horse. Supplemental leg wraps can be used for more targeted application.

Bailey Update:
About a couple months ago Bailey’s back began to bother her again. After weeks of sessions she was not improving. This can sometimes happen if something gets “stuck”. So I had the chiropractor out. She definitely needed it! After the Chiro visit and another session, Bailey’s back is MUCH improved!
BUT, then Bailey wasn’t feeling very well for about a week and a half, she was sluggish and drinking and peeing way more than normal. The vet came out did blood work, nothing was abnormal so we waited her out and thankfully she’s returned to her normal self!
Now we’re onto more back strengthening exercises and desensitizing!
