ABOUT EQUINE BODY WORK BY MC

Hello, thank you for visiting this website and your interest in my work that has been dedicated to helping horses with their musculoskeletal comfort. Nothing makes me happier than helping a horse go from their bodies being tense, hollow, and or anxious to relaxed, round and moving fluidly.

​​​

I became interested in the equine musculoskeletal field twenty-five years ago after being an athlete myself including having taken part in many century rides. On many occasions I cycled distances such as from Sacramento to San Francisco in six to seven hours.

 

The demands on my body taught me about the need for musculoskeletal attention for a muscle system that is used as a vehicle. As an athlete, I naturally understood this and fueled my passion to be an Equine Body Worker for equestrian athletes.

  

  

I am often asked if I ride and although I do not ride currently have ridden quite a bit in the past.  My work with the horses is incredibly demanding and requires high levels of mental and physical devotion. I raised my daughter with horses on our beautiful 6- acre equestrian property in Jackson, California. In early 2000 I had hopes of show jumping  but after working with horses bodies and recognizing where they needed me I began to shift my focus with them. It was about 2004 and after a conversation with an elderly daughter of Secretariat that I decided to not seek professional training as a rider any longer and focus all of my attention on my work and continued education. I did have horses on my property where I had a beautiful arena, trails at Comanche, Lake Tabau, Folsom Lake, American River etc.. And when necessary utilized great trainers such as Steve Wright and Nicol Kunka for my horses and tune- up's for me.   After being driven to get educated, experienced and getting out there all over California I developed a system that was successfully reducing pain and mobility issues in performance horses to the next level. I have worked extremely hard and invested an incredible amount of time to understand the stresses and strains on the equestrian athlete and my passion is directed at that. My in-depth experience and successes include but are not limited to horses in the disciplines of: Dressage, Hunter/ Jumpers, TB racing horses, Western Pleasure, cutting horses, reining horses, Gypsy Vanners and other large breeds, trail horses (including mountain trail horses), Mustangs, horses used for breeding and the "backyard horse," or "pet/family member"       I have become passionate about helping the challenged horse and have had incredible success with reducing behavioral and mental issues by reducing stresses within the musculoskeletal system.
