Adding tools to our tool box at Serenity Farm

Continuing education is important in every field of study, and the horse world is no different. We all know that our rider biomechanics can have positive or negative effects on the way our horses move. It can cause them to carry stress in their muscles, just like we do. While we work hard on and off the horse to make our bodies more symmetrical and stronger in our cores, Kelly has been studying ways to help the horses get some relief while we are working on that, which, by the way, is a life long pursuit for most of us. The past few months she has been studying the material provided by the Animal Rehab Institute out of Florida. We are happy to announce that after months of studying and a week long in person training, Kelly is now certified through the Animal Rehab Institute as an equine massage therapist!

Not only did Kelly work through a sports massage course, since the class size was small (thank you Covid) and the students in the class were very well prepared for the course, she worked hard on myofascial release, range of motion exercises, core exercises, work with Equibands, and experiment with different SureFoot pads and their results.

She is super excited to bring this back to our farm. If you’re interested in talking to Kelly more about how your horse can be helped with sports massage and/or myofascial release, please send her an email at:
