what to expect

I will take a history of your horse
I will complete & document a visual assessment
I will palpate & document your horse's pain responses
A full bodywork session, listening & watching for your horse's responses & adjusting the work as needed
Documentation of your horse's restrictions so we can track progress
Next steps & recommendations, for example use of K-Tape or addition of Sure Foot Equine Balance Pads, Dynamic Mobilizations
Equine bodywork is often not just one session: it can be like peeling layers off an onion, depending upon the horse's underlying conditions
Your horse will have my complete attention during its session; YOU will have my complete attention before & after your horse's session
Note: Equine bodywork does not take the place of veterinary care

Please be on time! I may have other clients waiting for me

If you horse is ill or injured, he or she should be seen by your vet first. I MUST be notified of any communicable diseases within your barn.
Your horse should be lightly groomed - doesn't have to be a show ready grooming but please brush off any dirt & wipe down muddy legs
Please provide a leather or nylon halter & lead rope
Make time to hand walk your horse after his session, particularly if he can't be turned out after his session
Plan on at least an 1H15M- but appointments can run longer
Feed/hay should be removed from a stall if that is where the session takes place. But tell me if your horse is more comfortable in a grooming stall, in cross-ties, in an open space such as an arena or round pen
Please do not interfere with your horse as I work. The horse is ALWAYS telling me how to proceed and I need to honor that to gain trust and to maximize session effectiveness
Post session, your horse should move. I do recommend no heavy work for at least 24 hours after if at all possible

If you need to cancel or reschedule: I require a minimum of 24 hours notice to avoid a late cancellation fee which is the full session fee
