We all breathe but are we doing it correctly??? And the same can be said for horses, by applying our touch with an exhale of breath we lower our energy levels, soften our touch and connect into a system that is beneficial to us and to the horse.
-
We slow down, we stop the white noise in our heads, we are in the moment and for horses us being in the moment is very important we don’t take our baggage to a session.
-
When we let go, we learn, we absorb information better we give a clear signal to our horses.
-
You become an extension of your horse what you feel they feel what you sense they sense, you become one.

Elastic kinesiology tape (EKT)
is supposed to act on five major physiological compartments of the body: skin, fascia (connective tissue), muscles, joints and the lymphatic system.
The technique used to apply the tape depends on what therapeutic effect you want to achieve.
It can compress an area if applied at more than 50% tension, or decompress to lift the skin if applied less tightly. It can be used to activate muscles that need to work harder, or inhibit muscles that need to back off.
Unlike standard strapping, this elasticated cotton tape is designed to mimic the skin, allowing normal movement.
Proponents claim that it can prevent injury, re-educate the neuromuscular system and reduce pain — with 1,200 conditions identified as suitable for treatment by EKT.
The theory is that, as the tape is stretched over the skin, it creates convolutions (skin wrinkles), which allow the lymphatic system to work more efficiently — reducing inflammation and clearing waste.
