We’ll discuss your horse’s history, assess their posture and gaits, and use all the information available to create a customized plan for their bodywork. I will carefully release fascial adhesions, loosen tight muscles, and relieve pain and soreness through your horse’s entire body.

After our session, you will receive a detailed session recap on paper, including a summary of your horse’s current physical state from a massage standpoint and suggestions for future management.
