“Good morning Rachel,

Just wanted to share a couple of things with you, now that ladybug is back to work.

The first thing we noticed was she has a more rounded even hip stance when walking.

We also noticed that she can roll with out a lot of effort and much smoother.

She’s sweating a ton on the right side, neck, shoulder and right hind quarters.

And lastly but not least, our trainer was speechless when riding her yesterday. She said ladybug felt like a completely different horse. She was actually using all her muscles the way she was supposed too without a break down/freak out moment. We’re keeping rides light and short until she gets used to everything.

Thank you!
Hollie”

“I'm a firm believer that you are your horse's best body worker by consistently working them correctly, so when I signed up to have Rachel do bodywork on my horse, a 5 yr old OTTB mare, I was skeptical of how much of a lasting difference it would make. Less than 10 minutes into the session, I knew I made the right choice with bringing Rachel onto my team of horse care. She is kind to the horse, an expert in her field, and she brings you into the learning process so you can continue improving your horse's health after the session ends. Immediately after our session, I knew I wanted to continue having Rachel work on my horse as needed. But another testimony to her work was revealed when the farrier came to do my horse's feet 6 days after the session. Usually, my horse will jerk her hind legs away from the farrier due to discomfort (Rachel and I believe my horse's hind legs are currently stuck in flexion). This time, however, my horse was relaxed and didn't pull away a single time! I was ecstatic! Not only was my horse getting better, but I no longer had to be concerned for my farrier's safety from my horse jerking her hind legs away! If you are considering ways to improve your horse's soundness and comfort, choose Rachel. I'm so thankful I did. “

“I didn’t even know my horse was uncomfortable or possibly in pain until I mentioned him standing funny on his hind leg to my farrier.  She recommended I have Rachel work on him. I called Rachel and got on her appt list.  I have had horses for 50 years and over those years have had massage therapy, some chiropractic work done on my horses.   In all those years I have not seen a result as significant as what Rachel was able to accomplish with my horse in just one session.  I didn’t realize how stiff he was until after her work on him and I rode him.  It was like a different horse. I didn’t realize how sore he was until I saw her release his pain in so many different places.  And he was so grateful.  Rachel also gave me exercises to perform with him between sessions to keep him moving without soreness.   I am very grateful to Rachel and am looking forward to each session.  My horse happy makes me happy.”

“Rachel came out to see my horse after he was exhibiting some significant behavior changes and appearing painful and lame. She was incredible with him while he was anxious and scattered. To say both my horse and I where put at ease would be a understatement. I couldn’t have been more impressed. She has been wonderful to schedule and work with. She is my first call when my horses have issues. She is humble, she is kind and she is gentle.”

Rachel has helped me bring my mare back physically from a major injury. Her help and expertise has been more than invaluable.
