Equine Integrative Therapies
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is beneficial no matter what type of horse you have or what your discipline. From trail riding to competing, ALL horses can benefit from massage as a part of the overall wellness program.
Some of the benefits of massage are:
Increased circulation throughout the body
Rids muscles of lactic acid & toxins, which helps prevent soreness & therefore injury
Increases flexibility & range of motion for better performance
Relaxes the entire muscular system, which is the main support for the skeleton or bones
Improves soundness
Helps prevent injuries
Decreases swelling
Assists in recovery from injury & illness
Helps repair muscle injuries
Improves overall health
Massage therapy can be one of the BEST additions to your total health care for your horse at a reasonable cost. It can be performed at our location, your location, a horse show or event.
Treatments are customized to your horse's needs. Pre & Post event therapies are brief and typically used prior to & after a competition. THERAPEUTIC massage is more typically used for prevention or therapeutic reasons. Therapeutic massages takes from 45 to 90 minutes depending on the needs of the individual horse.
Magnets for Horses
All magnets are not created equal. Some are ineffective or can even have a negative effect on the body. After years of working with different types of magnets, we've chosen one with the most coverage and visible benefits available. They are a great addition to the rider's "Groom Box" for relaxing the horse before and after rides, competitions, trailering or illness recovery.
There are magnets for use with joint wraps as well as saddle pads. Contact me for info on the joint wraps & saddle pads. There is also a pad for our barn cats and dogs. Mine are partial to my magnetic chair seat!
My personal favorite is a motorized biaxial rotation magnet that produces a magnetic field that is active in three dimensions. At 1700 gauss strength, it is powerful enough to pass through objects. It operates on battery for "stable" use or plugs in. For more info contact us.
*We do not recommend constant usage of magnets with horses.

We invite you to bring your horse & saddle for a lesson or just a saddle fit consult. Correct fit can make or break your ride with your horse! What's wrong with this picture?!
Saddle Fit
Many of the issues we encounter with training and riding our horses are related to our saddles. When body weight is added to the saddle on the horse's back, any "fit" issues will be emphasized. Often an "ill fitting" saddle is at the root of bucking, spooking, rearing and numerous other training issues. When the horse hurts, he will not want to do his "job", whatever that is. There can be pressure points throughout the saddle as well as having the "tree" too large or too small for that horse. Most people don't even realize the importance of the saddle being comfortable on the horse. Some try to make up for a "bad" fit with saddle pads and occasionally that can help temporarily, however, pads cannot make a bad fit a good fit. Consider a saddle fit consultation today!
Light Therapy
Photonic Light Therapy uses a handheld unit with a beam of light that is non-invasive and totally painless, yet stimulates acupoints all over the horse for general "well being" and healing. The basic treatment assists with improved immune function, relaxation, as well as general and specific discomfort. It improves overall health and wellness. It can be used for specific issues with the horse.
We will assist you in choosing the most effective method or methods for your animals' wellness program.

NUTRITIONAL REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is a very effective way of determining the nutritional needs of the individual horse. We usually recommend you begin by starting your horse on the Dynamite Products with the Basics only, although there can always be exceptions in special cases. After 60 to 120 days on the Basic Dynamite Nutrition Products, nutritional reflexology is one of the ways of helping determine if the balance that is desired has been achieved. Reflexology is done by touching specific points on the horse that are connected through the energetic system, as acupoints are used in acupressure or acupuncture and evaluating their responses to determine their level of nutritional balance. Depending on the horse's reaction with contact to those points, the nutritional needs of the horse can be determined and adjusted accordingly. We offer this service at your farm or ours.
Bio-field Energy Techniques for Animals
All animals and people are an energy body with an energy field surrounding them. Our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states affect this energy field. There can be irregularities in an animal's energy field just from every day life and stresses that can cause health and emotional issues. Our bio energy work is a way of balancing the energy field so that relaxation and healing can take place.
*These techniques are often the bridge between holistic healthcare and traditional veterinary care.
These techniques can assist with:
pain control
behavioral issues & anxiety reduction
injury and illness
enhanced performance
stablilzes training
wound healing
general well being
disease prevention
separation anxiety
euthanasia support
* Techniques apply to ALL pets & animals.
