Like every other horse girl, my whole life has always been about horses. Starting at 5 years old, I took every opportunity to ride and learn about horses I could get my hands on and begged my parents for a pony. To this day, I still think of that ornery little pony that started this journey of horsewomanship.

In college, I studied Animal Science at Cal Poly, SLO with the hopes of learning everything I could to work with these animals. Nutrition, anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics…the list goes on! I was obsessed with learning how everything worked so I knew exactly how to solve problems in horses. 

We’re here to help your horse succeed through a practical and holistic approach.

Fast forward to today, and not much has changed. I’m still obsessed with learning anything and everything I can about horses. That’s how I got started with massage!

We all know that your competition horse needs some kind of work to get them feeling their normal selves again. What I found, though, is that we all want it fixed as soon as possible. Or, we choose to call up our favorite bodyworker to supplement the veterinarian as soon as the horse starts showing discomfort. This method works, but it probably isn’t the best. That’s why One Stride was born – to help you and your athlete maintain your level of performance through a proactive and preventative manner, one stride at a time.

I noticed a stark difference when my horse is massaged regularly. She’s more relaxed, comfortable to work, and rarely resistant to contact. Plus, it’s absolutely worthwhile to see her immediately fall asleep when she’s getting a massage!! My goal is to get that same sense of relaxation and calmness for each and every horse.

If you have any questions, or want to see a massage in action for your horse, contact me today.
