Client Update: Benny 🐴

“I’ve noticed positive changes in Benny’s suppleness under saddle and his overall comfort since having Maggie work on him.

Maggie always takes the time to explain what she sees, feels, and is looking for while working on him. And honestly, I think Benny’s zen demeanor, quiet eye, and droopy lip during his sessions says a lot about how much he enjoys his bodywork!”

— Sofia Goodlund

I love seeing the difference bodywork can make! Not just in how a horse moves, but in how they feel. 💙

I don't know about you but I am constantly reminded that if we're paying attention, horses have a funny way of teaching us things we didn't even know we needed to learn.

Patience.
Trust.
Being present.
Letting go.
Showing up when we don't want to.

I truly think horses are some of our greatest teachers. They don't just teach us how to ride - they teach us how to listen, how to be better, and how to slow down.
So I'm curious… what’s one thing your horse has taught you lately?

Your horse doesn't have to be “off” or showing an obvious problem for us to notice changes. Sometimes the smallest differences are the first clues and as an owner, you know your horse well enough to catch them first.

So the next time you pick up your brush, take a few extra minutes.
Feel your horse. Notice your horse. Listen to your horse.
Your observations might tell you more than you think.

A new saddle?
Different footing?
A harder training season?
More time off than usual?
A new hay source?
A change in routine?

Sometimes it’s not one big thing, it’s a bunch of little things that add up. Taking a step back and looking at the whole picture can help us connect the dots.
Our horses are always telling us something. We just have to pay attention.

What’s one thing that has changed for your horse recently?

Between lessons, training rides, clinics, and competitions, our horses are constantly being asked to perform during the summer.

And while consistent work is important… so is giving their bodies (and minds) a chance to reset.

Not every day needs to be a training day. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your horse is:
- A quiet trail ride
- A hand walk around the property
- Time outside in turnout
- A stretch session
- A well-earned day off

Movement doesn’t always have to mean “work.” Allowing horses to move freely, relax, and just be horses plays an important role in keeping them feeling good.

What’s your horse’s favorite “easy day” activity?

I think mine would be:
"What part of your job feels hardest right now?"

Our horses are so good at showing up for us. They give us their trust, their effort, and their best every single day but they can't always tell us when something feels uncomfortable, when they're tired, or when something just doesn't feel quite right.

As bodyworkers, riders, and horse owners, so much of what we do comes down to learning how to listen because they cannot talk. Paying attention to the little changes. Noticing the subtle signs. Trying to understand what our horses are telling us through their bodies and their behavior.

So I'm curious... if your horse could answer one question honestly, what would you ask?

Your veterinarian.
Your farrier.
Your saddle fitter.
Your trainer.
Your massage therapist.

None of us should work alone.
The horses who do the best usually have a team that's willing to communicate.

Some of the biggest and most productive changes I've seen have started with an owner saying,
"I can't put my finger on it...something just feels off." And then asking questions, advocating, and pursuing answers.

Have you ever caught something early simply because you trusted your gut?

Maybe it's a nicker.
A particular facial expression.
A giant stretch after work.

Knowing what's normal makes it easier to recognize when something changes.
