ABOUT
DANIELLE
Since a young age I have always loved animals, especially horses. Through my life I have come across plenty of equestrians and lots of amazing horses but always felt I wanted to do more for them than just have a fun ride around. The beginning of my equestrian life started with Western riding but quickly grew to Hunters then Eventing. I learned about the amount of stress these activities put on a horses body and that immediately drew me into my journey of becoming a CEMT. I began classes through the Midwest Natural Healing of Animals program and took to it very quickly, it was very enjoyable working with the two different instructors I met and that translated into making it as easy as possible for me to understand what I was learning. In 2024 I officially got my certification in Equine Massage, specifically the Amassage method and have set off to begin "Helping Horses Move with Ease."
Personally I have two heart horses Fenway and Scooby. Fenway (pictured) I met around 2014, he has helped me grow as a rider and a person. By 2016 we were doing Eventing at a local venue and we both loved every second of it but like everything, time passed and Fenway got older. In 2023 Fenway was officially retired, at the age of 24, to a life of getting lots of brushings, snacks, and field time. Fenway now has arthritis and the best thing to make him happy (besides snacks) is a massage. He has quickly taking a liking to the natural pain relieving endorphins massages produce.

SERVICES
Learning from my experience with both my boys I found myself asking lots of questions. Why does my horse overreach? Why does my horse hang a leg over a jump? Why is my horse having a hard time picking up and holding a canter lead? Why does my horse not bend on one side? and so many more questions. As it turns out, massage can help answer all my questions and improve the way my horse moves. If you find yourself asking questions like these, reach out to see if massage can help your horses too! Massage can work effectively before or after a horse is exercised. Releasing muscle tension before a ride can help your horse enhance flexibility through their movements loosely and comfortably. After a ride, massage can also help work along side the horse's natural cooling system and promote relaxation once the ride is over.
Equine Sports Massage
This single horse full body massage helps reduce tension and discomfort throughout the horses body. A five minute evaluation will occur prior to the massage for the purpose of pinpointing tension in the horses body so we can dial in on releasing that tension during the massage.
