Equine Osteopathy - Presentation

Come out to Beaver Creek Hall in Port Alberni this Saturday at 11am 🐴

I’ll be sharing insight into my work as an Equine Osteopath, and discussing how early experiences, stress patterns, and development shape the horse’s body long before challenges become visible.

During this talk - drawing from continuing education I recently attended in Germany - we will explore topics such as:

• How stress patterns begin in the body long before tight muscles or joint problems appear

• What happens inside the body during a stress response, and how it can influence digestion, nutrient use, and recovery

• Why the nursing phase of a foal is critical for the development of the neck, breathing, and nervous system

• How castration can influence the pelvis, abdominal wall, and overall movement, and why some geldings show long-term compensation patterns

• Three early-life situations where horses may develop a freeze response - long before a rider ever gets involved

• How nervous system regulation and relationship play a key role in helping horses release tension and regain balance - and why the owner is one of the most important parts of that process

My goal is to help horse owners better understand what their horse’s body might be communicating - often long before obvious symptoms appear.

Come join the conversation, learn how early experiences shape the horse we work with later and bring your questions.

I’d love to see you there!
