Last night I was hoping to catch photos of the aurora borealis since there was a huge solar flare. Instead I think I caught photos of the Milky Way. This was a 10 second exposure on my phone. So exciting I had to share. ✨😍🧚🏼💜🌈🦄

Everyone who comes in contact with your horse should be aware of their emotional well being and the impact it has on training.

Emotional wellbeing is essential for a horse in training because a mentally stable and content horse is more receptive to learning and forming positive associations with training exercises. Horses experiencing stress or anxiety may exhibit resistance, aggression, or lack of focus, hindering their progress and potentially leading to negative behaviors or injuries. By ensuring emotional wellbeing, trainers can create a supportive environment that encourages trust and cooperation, leading to more effective communication and a harmonious partnership.

Case study: I have a horse in training in preparation for US Nationals. Because he does not deal will with change, my trainer has started to replicate stalling and living conditions Jack (he is out on pasture 24/7 unless the weather is bad) will need to deal with for the week he is there.

The fireworks and resent storms triggered a PTSD response that occurred at a show where Jack was being stalled in an outside stall with driving rain…even though he was provided with a modicum of protection, he was overly stressed and couldn‘t perform at the level he should have.

We consulted and worked out a plan to assist with this trauma response, with an essential oil blend that works specifically with trauma and grounding. Plus we will be utilizing ktaping and acupressure to stimulate points that can be used to calm the mind.

If you have an equine partner who is having difficulty adjusting to change or a trauma response, call 405.407.5862 to set up a consultation with you or those that work with your horse.🤩

Horse show. Spending time with friends. Client massages. The icing was when I started working on one horse, the rest of the horses had huge releases…big eye rolling yawns. 🦄😍🫶🏼💜✨🧚🏼

Today was massage client day!

The first horse had been exhibiting behavioral changes after a return of EPM. Medication was completed and had begun the rehab process. Weakness has been noted on the right side. The entire left side of the horse was sore from compensating for the right side. This horse is rescheduled for next week.

The second horse only wanted her bum massaged. Her right hip is more mobile than the left when stretches were performed. Myofascial release was performed. Movement has improved. This horse is also rescheduled for next week.

Consistent massages help the horse’s assimilate the changes made with muscular relaxation.

It supports productivity and performance in work and academic settings, fosters healthy relationships, and encourages community engagement. Moreover, mental well-being helps prevent harmful behaviors and promotes positive habits, facilitating personal growth and emotional regulation.

I have been working with a couple of repeat clients on releasing their gelding scar. Yes. It is a thing. The gelding scar places tension in the hind end affecting movement and providing tension in the pelvic area. The benefit of repeat massages is I learn the language of your horse‘s body. In this case, I could feel the release of gelding scar in the sacrum and the lower lumbar region while my hand was on the scrotal sack. The sigh of relief was palpable. (Additional benefits of releasing the gelding scar are located in the comments.)

If your horse is exhibiting compensatory patterns in the hind end, pain or exhibiting behavioral issues, contact me at 405.407.5862 to schedule a massage.

Busy weekend. The highest compliment I can receive from my client is a nicker saying, “I am so glad you are here!”

Cooking potions for a dog with idiopathic rage syndrome. This essential oil blend has a drop of jasmine….and OMG it smells heavenly. The owner will get a couple of acupressure points to assist with calming the mind of her puppers. Will let you know how it rolls. (Personally both my dogs and cats have enjoyed the smell.)

The best way to rest and give your horse a break isn’t thowing them out to pasture. It is a change in routine, learning a new skill or going out for a simple trail ride.

Dobby is still looking for a home. 405.407.5862.

God bless America, land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
