Founded in 1996, Inhand Equine Therapy specializes in the optimization of health and improvment of performance in equine and canine athletes through a holistic approach. Firm in the belief ‘the more one learns of the function of the body the more one learns there is so much more yet to be discovered,’ Inhand Equine Therapy works very closely as an integral part of an athlete’s wellness team including veterinarians, farriers, equine dentists, and trainers
to develop a plan of action that will address good health and
increase performance of the entire animal. This
commitment to working in conjunction with the entire wellness
team of each client is rooted in the knowledge that interaction
of the entire team provides that most benefit to each equine
and canine athlete – not simply the management of isolated symptoms.
Each athlete’s time with Tina includes a consultation to address ongoing and/or new issues, a soft tissue session, a static and dynamic postural assessment and other modalities as required to complete an entire body evaluation. Areas requiring improvement are identified and working in conjunction with riders, owners and the horse’s health care team, exercise plans are developed combining good health and equine/canine physiology to achieve the goals for performance.
“To know that one soul has breathed easier because you have lived – that is to succeed.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
