Equine AcupressureMy initial journey with horses began 35 years ago at the horse farm across from my house. Eight years ago, I decided to fulfill my dream of breeding and raising a horse. Undiscovered Treasure, Ema, has challenged me from day 1 to become a better horse woman, and I strive to meet her high expectations. My eyes have opened to all new possibilities of how we communicate and affect our horses at every interaction. As part of my journey with Ema, I discovered equine acupressure and I completed my certification with Tallgrass Animal Acupressure  in 2012.

As I interact with various horses, I am always amazed at their 'releases' (such as sleepy eyes, licking and chewing, and yawning) during the acupressure session. To me, it is clear that they are responding to the acupressure and enjoying themselves.  My personal educational pursuits include acupressure, Tui Na, and equine nutrition.
