Jodi Brassard

Jodi grew up riding and has been a horse trainer for over 15 years. Looking to add to the relationship and well-being of her equine companions, she found Traditional Chinese Medicine and was very excited to add acupressure to her training program by receiving her National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure and Massage (NBCAAM) administered through the Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute. In addition to practicing equine acupressure, she is also an instructor for the Elemental Acupressure.

As seen in training, most horses get injured because they are not ready for the heavy work of a training program. Acupressure offers a safe and effective way to keep our equine friends healthy while maintaining their job, or as Jodi likes to say “Getting and keeping your horse sound”. Jodi has seen amazing benefits in the horses she has cared for.

In her spare time Jodi regularly takes her horse Keeva and dog Cooper on trail rides around the Texas Hill Country, participates in cutting horse events, competes in the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge placing in the professional category, and volunteers her time with the Mustang Heritage Foundation Veteran Program which pairs veterans with wild mustangs for a six week process where the veterans work to gentle their mustangs in need while learning on-the-job training for future occupation in the equine industry.
