Sheri Pederson,  Equine Massage and Bodywork


Welcome to On The Muscle! 


The term "on the muscle" is used in the horse business to describe a horse that's energetic, fit and ready to go!

My hope is that using equine body work and massage will help YOUR horse to be "on the muscle"!




Equine Body Work:
 

ü       Increases range of motion

ü       Improves stamina

ü       Improves disposition

ü       Provides comfort to muscle injuries

ü       Enhances performance and gait quality

ü       Improves circulation

ü       Reduces tactile defensiveness

ü       Accesses physical condition

ü       Provides ability to notice tissue changes at an earlier stage

 

 

Massage is used in conjunction with conventional and alternative health care as well as proper training techniques to enable the horse to perform at an optimum level.

 

Massage is NEVER a replacement

for proper veterinary care.

Time flies! I've been getting to know the new mare and it's been interesting!  She is SO the opposite of Katie.  We will have a lot to learn from one another over time, that's for sure.  I'll try to get her pic up here soon too.

Get those horses in shape this spring.  There are a lot of sore horses because folks are jumping right into competition prep without properly reconditioning.  Remember to warm up and make sure not to ask too much right away, or you may not have a horse for the summer.  That would be bad.
