Starline Equine Bodywork

Most careers in horses are non-linear. We fall into parts of the industry that capture us, and then get lead forward into different parts of the industry. In our lifetime with horses this will inevitably happen over and over.

In this episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast I chat with one of the most fascinating and authentic horse professionals I know, Robert Fera.

Rob has worn many hats in the industry. We chat about how he has learned from each experience and how it’s shaped him into the person he is today.

This is a truly inspiring episode examining how horses guide our careers.

We all gasp when we see a thin horse and get concerned about animal welfare. But, more commonly seen is a rise in the number of overweight horses. This is also a welfare issue!

Managing an “easy keeper” can be a real challenge.

Join me for this conversation with Madeline Boast of Balanced Bay Equine Nutrition where we look at health issues and management strategies we can implement to improve the wellbeing of our easy keepers.

In this episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast I spill my favourite exercise to leave for clients and why it works so well.

I will give you a hint:
Sometimes to take a leap forward, first you have to take a step back.

What we practice is what we get. Walking horses prepares them for…. (insert drumroll here)…Walking.

The true fitness of a horse dictates what happens in a bodywork session and what homework will be left for the horse between sessions.

There are many aspects to fitness: general fitness, sport specific skill acquisition, and tissue training.

This last type of fitness is what is most commonly overlooked and misunderstood by practitioners. It includes ROM, control of ROM, strength in ROM and lastly, stamina.

The specific exercises left for horses by a bodyworker should come from an understanding of tissue training. This is the key to moving forward with a horse’s training!

A fresh look at locking stifles includes looking not just at the joints, but at the horse’s posture, hoof angle, muscle synergy and back function.

Equine Massage Therapy is an invaluable tool in the care of horses at all levels of training and at all ages.

As a horse owner, how do you know who to hire? And what do all those letters behind the name of practitioners actually mean?

And if you are an aspiring bodywork practitioner, how do you choose an educational path?

Joining me on this week’s episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast is Tracey Mitchell (REMT, and founder of The Mitchell School Of Equine Massage Therapy).

We get into all the details of her new massage therapy school, and let me tell you… this is a program designed to set students up for success!

Recently I had the honour of being a guest on Robert Fera’s new podcast Hoofbeats And Hustle.

I am so excited that he has given us permission to play that episode here.

Rob and I chat about the science behind equine bodywork, the evolution of my business, the role of social media in modern marketing and why we need to look at research more. Plus, we chat about the business of being in the bodywork business, and how to keep focus and drive in a tough industry.

When you have finished listening, please give Hoofbeats And Hustle a follow. There is an outstanding lineup of guest interviews and brilliant topics!

Proprioception has become a buzzword in the equine bodywork industry. But popular language aside, it’s an important part of the horse’s make up!

Healthy joints create the key components of proprioception: agility, balance and co-ordination.

Injury affects proprioception and requires a specific type of rehabilitation training.

Join me for this episode where I take a deep dive into how proprioception really works and what the literature is telling us about rehabilitation techniques.

Modern equestrian sport recognizes both horse and rider as athletes.

But modern life is busy and training outside barn time has historically been tough for many equestrian athletes….. until now!

Katie Wood, The Equestrian Physio, joins me for this episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast. She has developed a revolutionary training app for equestrian athletes of all levels and across multiple disciplines.

She and I chat about workouts, self assessment using the app, and about how to train conveniently, with accountability, expert advice and community using her new app!

This is literally the most exciting modernization of off-horse training I have seen!
