Since I was very young, horses have dominated my life. In almost two decades I have immersed myself into the horse industry, experiencing everything from mucking stalls, to training, to circling the show ring.

But the more I was exposed to all comers of the horse world, the more dysfunction I noticed. So many horses are performing in pain, suffering from imbalances and tension that are too often overlooked.

Receiving my certification in Equine Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapy changed the way I see the horse industry. All horses deserve to be comfortable in their bodies, and to move with confidence and ease. These animals are athletes, and should be treated as such. Seeing the changes in my own horses and all the other horses I have been blessed to work with is a beautiful experience.

Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing a horse that is comfortable in their own body.

It is said that horses are poetry in motion, but with care and attention (and a lot less tension), they become art. (Source)
