Equitouch Sports Massage Therapy with Kristy

I hope everyone had the best time doing what ever made them smile 😃

Just a friendly reminder to get in touch for any bookings you have either been thinking of making or waiting for and I have not yet given you your date or time as I don’t want anyone to slip my memory after such a busy 3 days of multitasking and splitting neurons 😂🦄

With limited bookings left for October be sure to say ummmm Kristy

Soooo it’s time to get those bookings booked everyone and for my regulars I have some spots aside as usual so let’s secure your dates 🐎

A picture of my pretty girls from the wonderful weekend at Diamonds 2 Dust Barrel Racing Inc. always a great time with everyone involved 🤍

School holidays meanssssss

MORE HORSEY TIME☀️

More riding more pony adventures more probably a few very happy kids who would happily spend every waking minute with their horses and ponies 😂🤍

October school holidays are all about getting outside enjoying the beautiful weather and making memories with our four legged best friends just how the younger generation should fill their time doing things they love and enjoy 😍

And with all that extra horsey time comes a little extra work for those muscles to so our sessions together certainly is a great addition to your horse or pony’s routine helping support comfortable movement mobility recovery and keeping on top of those little areas of tension as their workload increases 💪

Because when the kids and ponies are having the BEST time ever we want those ponies feeling their best to 🫶

October bookings are filling so If you are planning plenty of horsey adventures these school holidays don’t leave your appointment until the last minute Send me a message and get your horse or pony on my October run and make sure your pony is as supple as Archie here 😂🤍

Nice stretch Archie you are the bestest boy who gives amazing boop kisses 😘

As I head out for my second day in a row in beautiful Wanneroo of course the first stop had to be coffee ☕️

Then I heard my phone go off with a Facebook message I opened it to find the most beautiful words sent through from my wonderful friend and client Mary Joy 🤍

Thank you so much for such heartfelt words Mary Joy It genuinely means more to me than you probably realise 🫶

This really isn’t just work for me It’s something so much more than that 🐎

I feel incredibly grateful every day that I get to put my hands on all of your beautiful horses get to know them as individuals watch their journeys and changes all while supporting you as owners along the way it’s very special to me ☺️

Your horses mean the absolute world to you all and I never take for granted the trust you all place in me so thank you 🙏

Now I have my coffee in hand it’s back out to another beautiful day doing what I love for the horses 🤍

Saturday treatments and groundwork sessions 🐎

It’s always so rewarding coming back from one session to the next and seeing the positive changes that have happened in between 🎉

Today one young Pony Club combination really stood out from our first appointment where we found areas through the body that were holding quite a lot of tension and soreness to seeing such a beautiful release and change this time around was so good to see this is why I love what I do helping create positive change within the body, then giving the horse and rider tools to continue supporting that change between sessions 🙌

Of course being greeted by some very enthusiastic dogs who wanted nothing but cuddles and attention was an added bonus 😂🐶🤍

Then it was onto groundwork sessions with some of my wonderful regular clients focusing on something I think is incredibly important awareness not only of our horse but of ourselves to it was great lots of moments of relaxation also 👌

Groundwork gives us such a great opportunity to slow everything down and really watch how our horse uses its body Are the footfalls even? Does one hind leg step underneath differently to the other? Is the horse travelling straight, or are they drifting through a shoulder or hindquarter? Are they able to bend comfortably both ways? What happens through the back, neck and ribcage as they change direction? Getting curious to what we see in front of us while asking the questions 🐎

These little observations can tell us so much about movement patterns balance coordination and how comfortably the horse is using their body ☺️

But it’s also about us our own position timing energy and even where we place our feet can influence the way our horse responds and moves and sometimes making a small change in ourselves creates a completely different response from the horse 🐎

That’s why I love incorporating this education into groundwork It’s not about chasing perfect movement or forcing the horse into a position It’s about learning to recognise healthy balanced movement noticing changes early and helping the horse develop better body awareness coordination and confidence 💪

The more aware we become the more we start to see and once we can see it we can start making those small positive changes from the ground up 🐎

Such a rewarding Saturday with some beautiful horses wonderful owners and of course plenty of dog cuddles along the way 🤍

Some cool stuff for this Saturday tomorrow it’s off to see some beautiful Wanneroo clients can’t wait to see you all ☺️

🐎 OCTOBER BOOKINGS ARE OPEN 🐎

The nicer weather is finally here and with that comes more riding training competing and generally getting out and doing more with our horses ☀️

As their workload starts to increase it’s a great time to make regular equine sports massage part of their routine not just when something feels wrong but to help keep their bodies feeling and moving their best along the way

Regular bodywork gives me the opportunity to feel how your horse’s body is changing with their workload With years of hands on experience treating so many different horses I’m feeling for those subtle changes in muscle tone tightness restriction sensitivity and compensation that can begin to appear before they become bigger more established patterns it’s my job to trust my hands and feel along the way and I pride myself on getting to know every horse I touch so I can better support them it really does mean everything to me 😍

That’s one of the things I love most about regular treatments I get to know what is normal for your horse and I try my best to feel when something has changed from their previous session and we can start addressing tension early while also looking at the bigger picture how they’re moving where they may be compensating and what we can do between treatments to support them 🙌

Our horses are athletes whether they’re competing every weekend coming back into work hitting the trails or simply being ridden more now the weather is beautiful we know their muscles work hard and recovery mobility and maintenance deserve to be part of their routine to 🤍

My October diary is now open so don’t be afraid to message me and check when I’m going to be in your area If you know you’d like an appointment I definitely recommend securing your spot in advance ☺️

Let’s keep those equine athletes feeling comfortable balanced and ready to enjoy everything the warmer months bring. 🐎🫶

Let’s get those bookings sorted the horses deserve it 🐎

It’s all about lower chittering today 🐎

A day jam packed with horses and puppas as handsome as this 🥭

Kicking the morning off with this beautiful young fella for his first ever experience with treatment 🦄

He was the bestest kid and was so open to the experience I can’t wait to build a relationship with him along the way because he is really cool kid 😎

Now it’s a coffee stop then it’s off to give a big mumma some big love then to see the best boy Vinny 🧡

Great way to kick off heading into the weekend then it’s Bindoon and Gingin tomorrow hope everyone has an epic weekend 😊

Sweet Joey is giving you all a little reminder to get those bookings secured 🐎

Our horses give us so much and keeping their bodies feeling their best is such an important part of their routine 🙌

Regular treatments aren’t just about waiting until something feels wrong they’re about staying one step ahead and giving your horse the best chance to feel comfortable balanced and ready to do what we ask of them it’s about setting you and your equine partner up for every success 🫶

So take it from Joey don’t leave it until the last minute If your horse is due for some TLC or you have been thinking about booking send me a message and let’s get their next booking locked in. Because a horse that feels good in their body can move work and perform at their best 🐎

Let’s get those horses feeling great 🤍
