Understanding your bits is just as crucial as ensuring that your bridle and bit fit your horse properly. A well-fitted bridle allows for optimal communication between rider and horse, promoting trust and responsiveness. When the bit sits correctly in the horse's mouth, it can effectively convey cues without causing discomfort or pain. An ill-fitting bridle can lead to issues like rubbing or pinching, affecting the horse's performance and overall well-being. By taking the time to assess the fit of both the bridle and bit, riders can enhance their horse's comfort and performance, creating a harmonious partnership that thrives both in training and competition.

My technique is a muscular skeletal bodywork that’s a combination of deep tissue massage, physical therapy, acupressure, trigger point release and stretches. This combination helps the horse self adjust! My technique is called Structural Integration for Horses - Deep tissue massage and rebalancing mixed together.This is a massage-type of therapy for horses that will rebalance the body left to right, front to back, inside and out. Changes will happen in natural balance, performance, flexibility and behavior.Structural Integration is a type of bodywork that focuses on the connective tissue, aka fascia, of the body. Just like you and me, a horses body works as a whole, interconnected machine. It is designed to move. It requires alignment and balance to do that well. When you or your horse’s body is “off” it affects how we move, our moods, and our motivation. We ask a lot from our horses, but they also require us to give them the care they need keep working. Regular bodywork will help keep a horse sound and willing to work. Accidents can happen, especially in today’s highly competitive events; but a little preventive maintenance can do a world of good.
