POSITIVE EQUINE THERAPY

Equine Body Work and Saddle Fit

My Facebook page is Positive Equine Therapy.

I am a certified Advanced Equine Sports Massage and Vertebral Alignment Therapist. I have also added Saddle fit, hoof assessment and sheath and teat cleaning into my program.

If your horse has behavioral issues that you just cannot pin point or train out of him, he may be in pain.

Does your Saddle sit funny? Maybe your horses performance just doesn't seem as up to par lately. Or maybe something seems a little off in his hind end.

Perhaps the gunky job of cleaning your horse... "under there" gives you the Willie's.

My sessions typically last anywhere from half hour to 2-3 hours, depending on the issues found. I add Saddle fit, sheath cleaning, and hoof assessment into the price so it is a packaged deal if I am doing body work on your equine partner.

If you want just Sheath cleaning or just a saddle fitting I can do those separate if needed. 

I will travel throughout central alberta.

Please feel free to text, message or call me with questions, to book, or looking for more details.

AKM FARRIER SERVICES

Updated October 2014

 

My number one goal, whether in farrier work or massage or vertebral work, is a horse that is happier, more comfortable, more willing, and able to move with greater ease.

As for my farrier work, I look at what the horse’s conformation is and what the horse is used for and then decide what I need to do to keep the foot functioning well.
I charge $35 for a trim, $80 for front shoes, and $110 for a full set of shoes and $0.50/km one way for mileage plus GST.

As for my massage and vertebral realignment work, in the first session: 1/I look at the horse’s conformation and how it move and assess its movement and take notes. 2/ I do a thorough hands-on assessment of the horse’s muscles and bone positions. 3/ I work on the areas of issue as long as the horse will allow me and after the muscles are loose I will do the adjustments needed (I don’t use a mallet only my hands). 4/ I may make suggestions to the owner as for exercises and stretches they could do to help the horse. The first session usually takes around 2 hrs.
If a second session is required, it usually looks a lot like the first but it only takes about an hour and a half. This is due to the fact that I already know the horse and would have an idea where I need to focus my attention.
Any other sessions required usually take an hour or so to accomplish what needs to be done.

As for how many sessions a horse requires it depends on the horse and what the horse is used for. If it is a pleasure horse maybe all it needs is a session or 2 and maybe then a session only once or twice a year to make sure everything is good. If it is a performance horse maybe after the first few sessions, it might be wise to get a massage done once a month to help keep the horse’s muscles and body working to full potential. Again it really depends on the horse and the use.

My first session costs $150, my second session cost $125, and any more sessions that are needed would cost $100. There is a mileage charge as well which is $0.50/km one way and GST.

Regarding massage for reducing swelling due to injuries or massage for colic relief I charge $75 plus my mileage charge and GST.

If you have any question or concerns I would be glad to try and answer them. Email, text, or call me
