Equine Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapy

---

An initial visit typically lasts up to one hour. During this time, I’ll gather your horse’s history, perform a full-body evaluation, and identify and address any problem areas. Because it often takes a little longer for a horse to release tension during the first session, initial visits generally run longer than follow-up appointments.

The length of each follow-up session varies depending on your horse’s individual needs. During the visit, I’ll note any changes since our last appointment, perform a brief full-body assessment, and focus on the areas we’ve been addressing as well as any new concerns that arise. Each session is tailored to support your horse’s ongoing comfort and progress.

I charge government mileage fees. As of 2026, that is 72.5 cents per mile. This price will change year to year to reflect the current government fee. I charge 1-way trip fees. For an estimation of your fee, use the animal's location as point 1, and Bridgeport WV as point 2. I will be able to give you a more accurate estimate if you contact me with a list of dates. I am not always in Bridgeport so your trip fee may be more or less than the estimate. 

Add a tack fit check to any service to ensure your horse’s comfort and performance. During this session, I’ll assess the fit of your saddle and girth, confirm that the bridle sits correctly, and offer guidance on any other tack you use. This simple check can make a meaningful difference in how your horse feels and moves.

Please note: this evaluation is an optional add-on and is not included in standard packages.

Add a ridden movement evaluation to any service for a more complete picture of your horse’s performance. During this session, you (or your horse’s regular rider) will ride at all of the gaits your horse is capable of. I’ll assess and compare how your horse moves under saddle versus in hand, identifying any differences and offering insight into what may be influencing their movement.

Please note: this evaluation is an optional add-on and is not included in standard packages.

Please contact me prior to your appointment if you’d like to include K-Tape in your visit. This allows us to discuss your animal’s specific needs, circumstances, and overall care plan. Connecting in advance also helps determine whether your animal should be bathed or clipped before the session and allows us to discuss your budget so we can create an application plan that best benefits your animal while staying within your price range. The cost varies depending on the amount of tape used.

The length of each session depends on your animal’s history, main concerns, and whether acupoint therapy is included. A Red Light Therapy session typically lasts between 5 and 20 minutes. We can determine the best plan for your animal during the visit, or you’re welcome to contact me beforehand to discuss a customized approach that meets your animal’s specific needs.

The length of each session depends on your animal’s individual needs, but most last between 10 and 20 minutes and are completed bilaterally. If you’d like to include an acupoint session, please contact me in advance so we can discuss your animal’s specific needs. This allows me to design a tailored plan and select the acupoint groupings that will best support your animal’s overall well-being.
