As much as I have tried to help/soothe/heal horses...I will never be able to give them as much as they have given me.

A 9-year-old Ontario boy, who pledged his birthday money to save a doomed Thoroughbred from slaughter, opened his mailbox this month to find that his selfless act had been repaid in full. A check i...

My friend, Lisa, at Heavenly Gaits Equine Massage has some really great info. I love using therapeutic grade oils when I can instead of chemicals.

Heartbreaking. I hope they hold the feed company accountable.

Horses at a Davie boarding farm and riding school, worth thousands of dollars, are dying one by one. The apparent culprit: Tainted feed.

The more I work on horses, the more I realize that tension in the poll creates tension in the back and sacrum. Releasing the poll almost instantly softens the sacral area etc. I guess horses are quite similar to humans in that way. Or at least this human.

Yesterday, I massaged a horse who had recently injured his hind legs. When I arrived the vet was there so I was able to check with him about any restrictions other than the obvious bandaged areas. So what do you do with an injured horse? I worked along the bladder meridian which releases tension and anxiety. I also released tension in the poll. He loved this and dropped his head way down. I concentrated on acupressure points in the sacral area, releasing his hips. He fell asleep and it was magical to see this sweet boy totally relaxed and at ease. Next time I will try to get video or at least a photo.

Time to go rub some ponies..I have a new stress point to try out on Max's Beau. Think it may ease his girthy-ness. And of course, gotta give Private Sector some time.

That`s a place to start, I think. IF our goal is to start making the unfit horse MORE fit, let`s ask some basic questi…
