My herd
In February 2007, I traveled to Arizona to study with internationally-recognized equine bodyworker and Certified Equine Massage Therapist, Dino Fretterd, through Advanced Whole Horse Dynamics. Here I was able to study with other equine healthcare professionals (farriers, equine dentists, and veterinarians) in treating the horse as a whole on a working dude ranch with access to many different horses. I learned to look at the horse from a completely different perspective and how each of the different aspects of the horses body (feet, teeth, musculoskeletal system) affect one another and the importance of teamwork within the equine healthcare community and horse industry. I believe I have become much more effective in what I do because I have learned to recognize when the horse needs help in other areas of the body before it can achieve a balanced state.
I have also been a student of Parelli Natural Horsemanship since the summer of 2004 and am currently studying Level 3 of that program. I believe that applying the principals of natural horsemanship when establishing contact with my equine clients can aide in quickly gaining their trust, respect, and relaxation to my touch. By being able to read and understand the subtle body language of the horse and making adjustments to my own body language and touch as necessary, I can thereby increase the effectiveness of my equine massage sessions.
