Another day at the office

The best part about treating horses are their reactions. They tell you what feels good, what they want more of, and what is sore. Today I had the pleasure of treating this amazing horse forthe first time who took in every aspect of his treatment. He stretched, yawned, licked and chewed, snorted and overall became so relaxed after his releases. My favourite part was after doing some mouth work with him he brought his head around and touch his mouth to my hand multiple times as though saying ‘more please.’ Then having this picture sent to me of him sleeping not even 30 minutes after his session was over makes what I do and the benefits of Equine Craniosacral Therapy worth ever second.

Winter Stiffness

​A question I get a lot in the winter is ‘why is my horse stiff and their back tight.’ Whether a horse is on indoor board or outdoor board they don’t move around as much due to the footing. You will often notice the path in the snow of your horse walking from the hay to the water and back to the hay. As similar to humans when we decrease movement our bodies become stiffer until we warm them up by moving and increasing the blood flow to the muscles. Muscles not being used are shorter and under contraction, overtime this can cause pulling and damage.  The best thing to do to help your horse is creating a good warm up and stretching routine. A consistent routine will help you and your horse succeed and bring more balance. In the next blog posting we are going to go into a little more detail on the importance of stretching.

Welcome to the Equine Head to Healing Blog. I have created this blog to help my clients and those who are interested in equine health to learn about new treatment options for their horses, when to use certain forms of treatment and overall equine health.
 
I encourage my readers to send me emails on topics they would like to see on this blog. I feel as though there isn’t just one way to do something and that options, communication and combining treatments maybe the best option. Isn’t the end goal the same, wanting the best for our horses?
 
Stay tuned and help bring balance back to our horses.
