Kedzie enjoyed her bodywork today! She tends to stand with one of her hind legs propped underneath her body (see photo) to keep her stabilized. My goal with her is to loosen up her psoas and gluteal muscles so that it is more comfortable to stand with her hind legs squarely beneath her. Luckily she … Continue reading Kedzie

In this video you can see the after effects of relaxing Tigger’s shoulder area. I first worked on his poll and neck area, then on his scapula. I ended in the shoulder area with the movement in a relaxed state shown in the video. Since Tigger is well muscled, like a typical Quarter Horse, this … Continue reading Tigger

It amazes me how different each horse is on different days. While I might show up with ideas of what they need today based on last session’s work, they challenge me to stay in the moment and see who and what is showing up today. I see this reflected when I think of my own … Continue reading Mira

Summer walks are nice 😊 #happyhorse #grazingandlazing
This heat is making everyone snoozy! #happyhorses #weonlywakeuptoscratch #naptime 💤 #mmcp
It never gets old seeing the changes they can make in one session… soft necks that drape off of the nuchal ligament, lowered heads, upright withers same or higher as the croup, raised backs, scapula angles less steep, back angles matching neck angles, less clenching in the tail head, more full musculature in the hind end. I could go on but the pictures are worth more than words…. 😇 #mastersonmethod #equinebodyworker #beforeandafterhorse
Love it when I haven’t set foot in the stall and we are getting in the zone. Video from this newbie’s third session. It’s very clear he is getting the hang of it! #ottb #4yearsold #mastersonmethod
Mira and I have slowed way down. This was her first time riding in the outdoor arena so I used bladder meridian, scapula releases and standing together to help her feel calm and secure. Yes, it means the riding time was shorter today but the quality of time was incredible. #nervoussystemregulation #weareournervoussystem #slowliving #appleyardequine
Playing peekaboo with these cuties. Why work in a stall when the sun is out and the breeze is blowing? 🌤 Last slide is a post bodywork pic of one of Appleyard Equine’s first clients looking very good. Shoutout to @lcm_equestriansunlimited for doing the very best by her horses! 🧡 #equinebodywork #mmcp
Happy 2 year glow up Diego!! Here’s what a forage based diet, expansive turnout, low pressure environment, regular/gentle exercise, anatomy based bodywork, barefoot trimming and a lot of love combine to look like. This guy has been a trooper and makes me proud every single day. 💕 I look forward to years ahead as we adventure through life together. #equinebodyworker #lovemyhorse
☔️ Rainy days are meant for catching up on office work, reading and tea consumption 🕯
❤️❤️❤️
