Ashley Rohwedder, CEMT

Ashley Rohwedder, CEMT and Summer Sore Specialist is dedicated to providing holistic, all-natural alternatives for horses and their owners. In health care, the term holistic is used to describe treatments of the whole being: mind, body and spirit. Ashley’s massage goals are to re-balance, restore and relieve the soft tissue of the animal for it to perform at its optimal level.
I worked with horses and trainers in the racing industry since 2013. My personal experience with retraining a horse from the track to hunter/jumper discipline to trail riding was an 7 year journey and remains ongoing. We can all learn something new from the horses and equestrians we meet.
AMARE EQUUS: Equus is a genus of animals including horses, donkeys and zebras, to all of which massage techniques may be applied. The Spanish and Italian translation of amare is “love” or “to love”. The Greek translation of amare is bitter. For most equestrians, to love a horse can be bitter-sweet. I found the name quite fitting, as the process of massage is comparatively both bitter and sweet, since releasing tension may cause some pleasing discomfort. Recognizing that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself, Amare Equus employs the gentle yet potent power of essential oils to encourage this process in addition to various therapeutic massage techniques to treat the horse thoroughly and lend a hand in preventing injury. Exceptional care of the whole patient is key.
35% of profits from Amare Equus support retired thoroughbreds.
