Shell Brodnax

What started as a deep love for riding and connection quickly evolved into a full-blown commitment to understanding equine health, behavior, and healing. Over the past decade, Shell has immersed herself in all things horse care, and through that journey, discovered her true calling in the medical rehabilitation and therapeutic support side of the industry.
In her early days, Shell channeled her energy and drive into competition, successfully competing in EXCA (Extreme Cowboy Racing)—a demanding sport that combines horsemanship, agility, and trust. In 2015, she proudly earned the title of California State Champion in the Novice Division, an achievement that reflects both her dedication and her feel for the horse.

Now, Shell focuses her work on rehabilitation services, equine massage therapy, Shell earned her Certified Animal Cold Laser Therapist (CACLT) designation inClass 3B cold laser therapy and her Equine Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapist (EMFT) designation —supporting horses through recovery, maintenance, and overall well-being. Her services are a perfect fit for horse owners who want the best post-care for their horse but may not have the time, experience, or resources to provide it themselves.
Shell works closely with veterinarians to follow prescribed treatment protocols, ensuring your horse receives consistent, high-quality care tailored to their recovery plan. Whether managing soft tissue injuries, chronic pain, inflammation, or simply supporting your horse through a critical healing window, Shell brings a grounded, skilled, and compassionate approach to every session.
