It’s been quiet here lately, as this work leaves me speechless, in the best ways possible. ✨

Truly amazed by the souls I am blessed to work with, and the ways they show up time and time again. Horses and humans alike, bringing forth their highest selves and raising the vibration. ❤️‍🔥

Grateful to my many mentors who have taught techniques, yes, though emphasized the importance of intuition. Lessons in Listening: to tissue; systems; bodies; the collective consciousness; that inner knowing. Practices honed through time, training, and patience. 💫

Feeling very fulfilled on this journey, and thankful Source has guided me (not all so gently) to pursue my path. 💚

More to come, eventually. For now, life awaits outside a digital presentation, and oh, is it beautiful.
Happy Humaning, y’all. 🐴🌳🥰

I talk about this phenomenon often with clients, it’s a good visual to have!

One of the great things about presenting on Facebook is talking about ideas that people find challenging and then seeing where the holes are in my presenting. This really helps me to tighten up the study and the data points.

One thing that came up in the last post was that I had compared a “skinny horse” with a fat horse. It makes little difference to the skeleton what the body score of the horse is. The weight of the hind end muscles is immense and the pelvic floor by comparison is very small…..in short there’s allot of weight pushing inwards and little opposing force pushing outwards. One of the most common questions I get is can it be fixed? I would never use the word “fixed” this can be managed is the most hopeful I can be. This answer will be different for every horse…it’s nuanced because of things like age, breed, early workload and compensation factors then also how long has the horse been functioning in this state? Compensation means the horse is now having to load areas that were designed to work in harmony with the pelvis, not take the main load. Then also factor in the horses conformation, where is the lumbo sacral junction placed within the pelvis as this can vary greatly! Is there a sacralised lumbar present? Kissing spines? Does the horse have pre-existing NPA in the him feet?

Palpating the hind end of the horse has become a specialty of mine and knowing where the boney land marks would be in an ideal position. Variations exist for sure but our human expectations can make things worse for the horse.

Can they come back from pelvic collapse? With good rehab and lowered expectations of the horse you can strengthen and stabilise for sure. If the horse is resilient enough they can still perform for sure but the cost will be earlier boney changes down the line. That is a decision every horse person will need to make, what you do with your horse is your business! I just want everyone to have the information because in my mind prevention is better than cure. This is why I am very careful how much work I do with my horses before 5-6(mare,5 gelding,6)
I did a rehab last year on a pelvic collapse TB horse and followed his journey, his name was Gordon. Although I was able to keep him comfortable I think he will be unridable before his teens.

Riddle me this…..if the Skeleton is the scaffolding for the soft tissues and the scaffolding fails then what happens to the function of the soft tissues? Some atrophy(normally the longissimus and medial glutes) and some hypertrophy( the hamstring group and PSOAS) because as one under performs something has to pick up the slack…..this is dysfunctional. There’s a definite artform to bringing some function back to these horses. There’s allot more going on that we are collecting data points for through Etica Equine Charitable Trust.

But again, you can cover anything with fat……

The last two months have been a whirlwind! June was packed with travel, while July was a bit slower with some much needed downtime and behind-the-scenes work. 💚

Running full speed into August, with a new system in tow! I have transitioned to the lovely Equigate app for all things: note taking, scheduling, messaging, invoicing, and more! I am thrilled with this change, though it was tough for me to make the jump. 🐴

More exciting things on the radar in Abundant August.
Looking forward to learning opportunities, seeing new and current clients, and continuing on this soul work journey. ❤️‍🔥

Timely post, as I have witnessed a lot of dismissal of the horse, lately. 💚

Set it on mist.
I rode Quora up to the barn, dismounted and sent her into the wash stall. She turned around and waited for me to take off her bitless bridle before having a drink.

We have two water tubs right there, one with apple c***r vinegar and one with electrolytes. She made herself her usual cocktail; several swallows of the electrolyte water, then the rest from the ACV water.

When she finished drinking I was already waiting for her with a towel. Her face is itchy after riding and she dives her head into me to receive the vigorous rub.

I took the saddle off, and reached for the big sponge. She prefers to be sponged off rather than hosed.

That doesn’t make sense to me because she loves going in the arena sprinklers when they are on, and in the summer afternoons when I come out to hose everyone off she is first in line.

But it doesn’t have to make sense to me to know that after rides, she prefers the sponge to the sprayer or the hose.

I picked up the hose to wet the sponge and noticed the nozzle was set on Mist.

I stopped and smiled.

My assistant, Becky, (who my horses refer to as Aunt Becky, or their Becky-Binky) had given Natilla a bath while I was riding Quora.

Natilla doesn’t like the feeling of water dripping over her eyes. I was going to write that she doesn’t like water being sprayed in her face, but it seemed too obvious. I mean, would YOU?

Natilla does like the feeling of the spray on her teeth and gums. If I put the hose on ‘Jet’ she’ll raise her upper lip and lines up her head so the full force hits her mouth. She’ll play in that happily.

But when washing her face she prefers it set to ‘Mist’, and she really likes it if the mist is followed closely by my hand wiping off the excess drips, and blocking water from going in her eyes. She seems to prefer that even to the sponge.

When spraying the top of her neck, she (and all my horses) are much happier if I take my other hand and gently push her ear forward so the spray doesn’t get in it.

She prefers the Mist setting for that spot, too.

Seeing the nozzle set on ‘Mist’ meant that Becky cared about how Natilla felt, and made a little change towards kindness rather than time-efficiency.

It’s such a small thing, but it made me smile big.

Tradition tells us there are a LOT of things horses have to ‘deal with’ in order to be ‘good, well-trained horses’.

And here’s the thing -

I can ask Natilla to stand quietly while I hose her face.

I can ask Quora to accept that I spray her instead of sponge her after rides.

It wouldn’t even be a big fuss. They may shift a few times as I tell them to ‘hold’ or put their heads down’ and get through it.

They know when I need them to do things they don’t prefer.

But their willingness to oblige doesn’t mean that I need to be rude as an every day practice.

I bet if we looked, we could find a long list of small things that our horses are quietly wanting to avoid, (even if it’s not a fight… and even if they quickly end up complying)... that we could change.

Small modifications that WE could make, simply to make their lives a little more pleasant.

For that reason alone.

I remember my mom brushing my hair to put it into pony tails when I was a kid. It hurt. It pulled my head back with each stroke. The pony tails were always a little too tight.

Did I survive? Yes.
Was it so bad? No.

But it sure could have been a lot more pleasant.

I dreaded that moment and always wondered why it had to be that way.

Next time you wash your own face, imagine someone shooting cold water at you and laughing (or yelling at you) when you pull away.

Notice how many preferences YOU have throughout the day, and imagine the person who cares about you the most in this life disregarding or dismissing them. Imagine they hear you, and they do it the way you don’t like, on purpose, for fear of ‘spoiling you’.

Some people will read this and think me way too ‘precious’.
Or will think of examples of how giving horses what they want will create unsafe monsters.

I'm OK with that.

Maybe to some people, kindness is always weakness
Maybe to some people, kindness is always giving away control.

I think we can teach horses how to accept things, and to not be afraid, and to even tolerate things… and to do things simply because we need them to do it… because life isn’t always pleasant.

Horses won’t always understand why we need them to stand still for a veterinary procedure, or why they can’t run back to the herd NOW simply because they really want to.

AND… we can still be kind, and sweet, and do as many little things as we can to make their lives more lovely and pleasant.

They see us and the choices we make.

In the end, it feels better to me to be kinder to them.

Things to consider in castration of male horses; the scarring can and will be internal and external, and carries many repercussions.

From Concept to Ex*****on

Thrilled to see this track system in Waxhaw, NC come to life! 😍

At recommendation of a fellow bodyworker, these owners reached out to me to consult on a track system for their horse with a history of laminitis and metabolic sensitivity. 🐴

We wanted to utilize the barn-adjacent pasture, keep grazing space for non-sensitive herd mates, and create lanes for equipment access to the front pastures. 🚜

Enrichment stations will include a sand pit, logs for traversing, different footing substrates, herb foraging stations, and scratching posts! 🌿

Another approach to whole-horse wellness and care; track systems offer a creative way to increase movement, decrease or eliminate grass intake, set up sustainable forage-based diets, promote healthy hooves and bodies, and enrich the lives of our equine partners. 🐎

This has been such a cool project to help with, even from another state. We walked the track yesterday and discussed further enrichment and footing adjustments, along with some grass barrier suggestions for future success. 🌾

I have the coolest job, and love the wonderful clients I get to meet and work with. 🤩

Another great post explaining some of the gut’s impact on the rest of the body! 👏🏻 I have been seeing an uptick of ileocecal valve restrictions with the spring grass coming in.
