Massage is not just for humans. Horses have the same muscles as we do and muscle tissue is muscle tissue, no matter the mammal. The healing power of massage is beneficial to both humans and animals and has been for thousands of years.

Harvard Medical School has said that “massage therapy can help relieve pain, speed recovery from injury or surgery, and reduce stress.” For more information, please look at the 'benefits of equine massage'.

My fee is $75.00 per session, not per hour. I do not charge by the hour because I like to give my horse clients what they need – if it takes me a little more time to get to all of the issues and/or they are particularly enjoying their massage, do not charge for that. It takes some horses a little longer to trust and relax, so I believe charging by the session is fairer. I am very thorough in my approach and focus on the body as a whole. My massages usually run between 60-75 minutes. I take the time needed to take care of your horse’s issue.

I ask that you be there for the initial session so we can go through your horse’s history and particular issues. We will discuss the intake form and your goals. I would also like to see your horse in motion and would ask for your assistance in lunging her so I can observe.

You do not need to be present during the entire massage (unless you would like), but for the initial intake session, it is best that you are present to get the full benefit for your horse.

For the first session, please have your horse brushed, dry and haltered. Then we can decide where he is most comfortable environmentally - outside, stall, paddock, etc. Every horse is different.
