Qualifications
Certified in equine bodywork and rehabilitation
Equine Work Experience
I have experience rehabilitating OTTBs and other equine athletes who have had injuries due to athletic stress. I have worked with state of the art rehabilitation equipment such as: theraplate equipment, above ground water treading, and red laser light therapy (cold laser therapy). I do lots of ground work and I include things such as but not limited to: the perfect circle, raised pole fan, cavaletti, and backing. I have experience working with horses who have Sweeney shoulder and EPM to help develop and strengthen surrounding muscles due to the muscular imbalances from these injuries/illnesses. I was the barn manager for the University of Oklahoma's equestrian team for my entire college carrier (2018-2022). I currently am certified in equine rehabilitation and bodywork.
