SPRING CHECK UP TIME FOR HORSES!

BODYWORKS

Does your horse:
Take up Wrong/Reusing Lead?
Bolt, Jig, Balk, Buck, Rear?
Flinch when back is touched?
Wear hooves unevenly?
Short Stride?
Nippy or Cow Kicking?
Other?

Is your horse:
Cinchy/Girthy?
Sensitive to Grooming?
Head or Ear Shy?
Irritable? Cranky?
Refusing to go forward?
Acting Spooky?
Refusing to stand square?

THESE BEHAVIORS AND MORE CAN BE THE SYMTPOMS OF MUSCLES SPASMS AND A BODY OUT OF BALANCE!

Before thinking your horse is in need of stronger ‘training’ or stronger bit stop and think ….
if he has muscles spasms then they are going to HURT!
The only way the horse can TELL you that he’s hurting is by body-language.
LISTEN TO HIM!  Especially if these are NEW behaviors for your horse!

Before thinking that your horse needs more
discipline or correction, give him the benefit
of the doubt and think … PAIN!

PENZANCE BODYWORKS can help your horse!
We’ll do a complete, head to hoof evaluation and
BODYWORK session that will not only address
the pain but help you learn to evaluate and correct
minor pain issues yourself. CALL TODAY!
Spring is our busy season! 508-476-1317 or

During the “CheckUp” I will also evaluate the hooves and give recommendations of what I see might need to be done for optimal form & function.

The comments on the flyer read: “I am amazed at the change. I should have had you come out months ago! … Never in a million years would I have guess that it would be life changing for Elle. I feel bad that the real reason seems to she was in pain and uncomfortable. I’m sure wiggle pony may appear again, but at least we will know what to do about it now. So thank you again” — ALYSSA, MA

And … “I called Gwen because my horses were hurting and none of the chiros or massage people I was calling in were connecting with my horses or seeing what the problem was … Gwen zeroes in on my horses issues right away. Her manner with them was gentle, firm and communicative. When Gwen was done my mare was no longer wobbling her neck/head and lifted her hind legs. My gelding lifted his back and straightened out his pelvis. I hvae never seen him allow himself to be handled by someone as he allowed Gwen to do. Both had relaxed eyes. What transformations! I’ll be calling Gwen to come out again to work with my horses.” — Gillian, CT

So before thinking your horse has turned into Mr. Evil, please call me! Horses do not change their behaviors ‘all of a sudden’. Behavioral changes that occur ‘overnight’ are signs of PAIN! And the pain may well be not only physical but emotional/mental as well. I can help with that, too. PTSD and Phobic horses welcomed!
