About the Clinic
This hands-on clinic is designed specifically for horse owners who want to deepen their connection with their horse and support their well-being using non-invasive, light-touch techniques. Whether your horse is an athlete, a companion, or recovering from injury, these gentle approaches will be able to help enhance relaxation, mobility, and overall wellness in between visits from professional bodyworkers.
You’ll learn how to help promote your horse’s natural healing responses through subtle, strategic movements over muscles, tendons, and connective tissue using techniques that are easy to learn, incredibly gentle, and safe for all horse breeds and ages.
What You'll Learn:
✅ How to properly assess your horse
✅ How to “listen” to your horse’s body through touch
✅ Key maneuvers and touch techniques that you can safely apply between professional sessions
✅ How to identify signs of tension or imbalance
✅ Simple routines to support relaxation, circulation, and muscle recovery
✅ How to build a more grounded and intuitive connection to your horse
Benefits for Your Horse:
💆♂️ Promotes deep relaxation and stress relief
🦴 Supports healthy joint and muscle function
🧠 Encourages the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-repair state)
🐎 Helps maintain flexibility and movement between professional sessions
💚 Strengthens the bond between horse and handler
Who Is This For?
Horse owners of all experience levels are welcome! No prior bodywork or anatomy knowledge is required—just a desire to learn and support your horse’s wellness.

Rescued Hearts Film: Part 1 Screening & Conversation
Join us on July 4th, 2025 for an event like no other!
Multiple Non-Profit Organizations all under one roof with one common goal - to help The Horses.
Be among the first to experience a film that's sparking powerful conversations before it's even been released.
Join Us, in collaboration with the Canadian Horse Defense Coalition and Live Wild Films, for an exclusive Part 1 screening of the unreleased documentary Rescued Hearts — a moving and eye-opening exploration of how healing unfolds through the horse-human connection.
This is not just a film — it's a story of transformation, told through the eyes of those who've lived it. You'll witness real-life moments of healing, expert insights, and the growing science behind what so many of us already know in our bones: horses have a unique way of helping us come home to ourselves.
After the screening, stay for a heartfelt conversation with the filmmakers and local practitioners who bring this work to life every day. You'll have a chance to reflect, connect, and explore how this movement is growing — and how you can be a part of it.
This intimate event is a rare chance to gather in community, experience Part 1 of this powerful film, and feel the ripple effect of what's possible when we open our hearts.
Reserve your seat — space is limited, and this is a one-time opportunity. Get your tickets HERE
1st Annual Golf Tournament
Every swing, every bid, and every generous donation helps change a life. As we prepare for our Annual Golf Tournament, we invite you to be part of something truly special.

By joining our event, you're directly contributing to the safety, care, and future of horses who have faced neglect, abuse, or abandonment. So consider registering and helping us with our mission as we continue to expand our sanctuary and our programming.
