To add to this as an equine therapist, if your stirrups are too long, you are adding more pressure on the front end of the horse to counterbalance your actions in the saddle. As a result, your horse begins to compensate, developing issues like wrong leads, tripping, stumbling, etc., which produce muscle adhesions developing in the shoulders, neck and poll. Remember, horses carry around 60% of their body weight on the front end. So, take another look at those stirrup lengths.

Equestrians spend so much time taking care of their horses that they often forget to take care of themselves. But the reality is — your body affects your horse just as much as your horse’s body affects you.

Tight hips, sore shoulders, lower back pain, restricted mobility, old injuries, stress, and muscle imbalance can all impact your posture, balance, cues, and effectiveness in the saddle. Horses are incredibly sensitive animals and will often compensate for tension and imbalance within the rider.

Just like your horse, who benefits from a therapeutic massage to improve comfort, flexibility, recovery, and performance — so do you.

Massage therapy for riders can help:
🐎 reduce muscle tension and pain
🐎 improve posture, flexibility, and mobility
🐎 enhance balance and body awareness in the saddle
🐎 decrease stress and fatigue
🐎 improve recovery after riding, training, or competition.

When both horse and rider feel their best, communication improves, movement becomes more fluid, and performance can reach an entirely different level.

Your horse deserves care — but so do you.

I offer in-home or in-barn massage treatments for equestrians from a portable massage chair or table — your choice. This arrangement is only offered to you with an equine therapy treatment. A bonus is that direct billing is available, so you can have an stress-free massage.
The other option is come visit me in my home clinic in Leduc, or at Beaumont Physiotherapy and Sports Injury.

CHAIR MASSAGE
🤲🏻 30 minute initial treatment plus orthopaedic/muscle testing $70.00
🤲🏻 20 minutes 42.00

PORTABLE TABLE
🤲🏻 75 minute initial treatment plus orthopaedic and muscle testing $125.00
🤲🏻 60 minute follow-up massage $105.00

As an RMT of 25+ years I respect your privacy, therefore I won’t respond to messages here, but if you want more information DM me to discuss privately. Wellness days for group of equestrians can be arranged as well 🤲🏻☺️

Do you know what is the most common head trauma that 99% of horses have? And can you guess which is the second most common head trauma that horses 99% experience?

The first most common head trauma, and not so obvious one that horses experience in life is birthing — being pushed through the birthing canal in a corkscrew-like fashion. The second most common head trauma for a horse is from “pull-backs”.

With many horses, these common head traumas sets the stage for various equine conditions, behavioural issues, TMJ issues, dentistry wearing patterns and biomechanics issues.

Two different head traumas for horses, however a very high percentage rate nonetheless. The damage caused from birthing or from a pull back, will have an impact on initial training, affecting how the horse makes contact with the bit.

Your horse deserves to move freely, comfortably, and confidently without restrictions. Servicing central Alberta, reach out today to book your initial consultation and treatment appointment and give your horse the support they deserve.

Are you an equestrian struggling to find timely equine bodywork support, waiting too long for chiropractic appointments, or facing ongoing veterinary costs related to mobility and performance issues?

My one-day Equine In Motion Workshop was designed to help horse owners better understand their horses’ movement, identify weaknesses, and learn practical hands-on techniques to address them.
In this workshop, you will learn:
🐎 Equine anatomy and terminology
🐎 The difference between conformation and posture
🐎 How to identify red flags through a visual assessment
🐎 How to assess range of motion and mobility
🐎 Remedial exercises to support movement and function
🐎 Hands-on techniques to address findings from your assessments

I’ve called Alberta my home for the past 4+ years helping equestrians like you, improve their horses’ mobility, comfort, and performance as a Certified Equine Massage Therapist.

My goal is to empower horse owners like yourself, with practical knowledge and effective techniques that can support their horse’s wellness while potentially reducing the frequency of ongoing maintenance costs. Sometimes, the most valuable tools are your hands — combined with the knowledge of how to use them effectively.

For more information or upcoming workshop dates in your area, give me a shout!

A student who attended a workshop I presented last year reached out to me today. She noted that her horse’s shoulder wouldn’t release as it should, so this is the advice I gave her to focus on.

“Lift the horse’s leg and holding it for 30 seconds. Go to the other leg and do the same thing; repeat this 3 to 5 times on both shoulders. Then lift the leg moving it forwards and backwards, forwards and backwards, rinse and repeat, but don’t be forceful, applying a gentle glide and rhythm, and do this five times on each leg. Feel for that glide and feel the stickiness of it. You wanna keep working with it until it gets softer. Once it’s softer, lift the leg up and go in a circular motion in a counterclockwise movement, as in the video seen below, about five times, then reverse and go clockwise five times. After that pull that leg out, in abduction, and see where the angle is. It should be around 45 to 55°. If it’s a soft tissue issue, it should release. If not, then it may be skeletal, involving a vertebrae, or 1st or 2nd rib, or both.

If your horse is struggling with lead changes, or not holding that lead, let’s chat and see how we can address it in one treatment.
