Wellspring Equine Conditioning

I’ve been quiet on social media, intentionally. I’ve been learning so much over the last year and wanted time to digest and play with the new tools in my box.

Exciting things are brewing for 2024. But, I thought I’d share a glimpse into how powerful this work is.

These two pictures were taken 45 minutes apart. I never posed the horse before or after bodywork. I simply took pictures of his preferred posture.

While the side profile shots were exciting to compare, I’m blown away by the overhead view. This horse was standing in the exact same position before and after! While it appears he was looking a little left in the first shot, he actually had quite a banana curve going through his whole body due to fascial restrictions.

This guy has an old suspensory injury that was never properly rehabbed. He tends to stand left front forward.

I look forward to seeing him change as I continue to do nerve release and bodywork.

I look forward to what the following year holds.

Most of all, I look forward to using the gifts God has given me to help horses. 💜

Oh, the many places that tension is stored!

I love how the lips changed after today’s session with this gorgeous guy. The wrinkles released and the jaw softened.

Why does this matter? The short answer is that tension here can affect the hind end, front end, and everything in between.

This is a well-written, on-point post that clearly articulates the importance of how we look at and treat our horses’ spines.
