Meet the Founder
Laurie Hills
I possess an enduring passion for animals, having shared my life with horses, dogs, cats, and even a pair of crows as companions. Presently, I cherish the company of three horses, two dogs and two cats. Trail riding and camping bring me immense joy, but my deepest fulfillment lies in the knowledge that I have aided a horse in helping to solve issues.
I have been a certified Equine Massage Therapist for a number of years, and with ongoing education I continue to learn. Because no matter what you learn there are always more questions!
Biomechanics – Helps to understand what is making that horse hurt and understand how to help them recover to move better
Body Massage Therapies – Helps to discover what it is, how to identify it, and get tissues released
Rehab Strategies - Bringing the horse back to what he should be
Myofascial Release - Helping the horse release the pain he's holding in
Saddle Fitting – This like bodywork, is multifactional. There are many details that go into saddle fitting.
* Understanding proper body posture helps understand why that saddle isn’t working for your horse.
* Learning how to “read” the saddle for flaws
* Using the Mapping Tool to read the horses back and placing into the saddle to discover where the pressure points, rocking, bridging, all areas are located by using the tool; Mapping helps to see these areas and what to do to relieve them.
