Equine therapy is a complimentary therapy to enhance your horse’s wellness. The Team approach is the circle of influence that will bring your horse’s height of wellness. Massage Therapy is not a replacement for veterinary medicine.

Denise KentTina has a tremendous amount of knowledge with everything regarding your equine partner; from body movement, fitness, and nutrition. Tina is every easy to communicate with and she always takes the time to provide a detailed explanation to my inquiries. Tina/Inhand provided guidance in creating a fitness plan after my horse had an injury last year. The Inhands Mentor Me is a fabulous program for anyone with a horse in your life, whether you ride or not ! Great detail and so much to learn with hands on practice on a horse. Tina gives feedback while practicing which is great as you can confirm you are doing the techniques correctly. I truly appreciate the wealth of knowledge Tina has and am grateful knowing I can reach out with questions anytime.Morgan CruikshankSince starting to have my horses worked on by Tina at Inhand I have been so thrilled with the results. Along with the chiropractic work I have done on them the massage/body work Tina does has made a world of difference in their comfort, movement and performance. Not only does Tina help my horses feel their very best she also make sure they continue to be their best in between visits with so many at home exercises and stretches specially picked and suited to the horses and their and individual needs. I always feel my horses and I are cared for in the best way possible, with kindness and compassion from Tina, as well as amazing communication during and in between visits. I have and will continue to recommend these services to anyone who is looking for a body worker for their horses. I can’t say enough good about Tina and Inhand! -MorganKim BertiMy horse has been a client of Tina's since I bought him in 2020. Tina strives to give him the best care she can and is always on hand to support us at all times. She is a superstar!Tanya GrondzilTina is amazing. My horse loves auntie Tina! I would give 6 stars if I could!IanTina was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and even recommend some things we could do on our own to improve our horse’s health.Joanne ChambersI have been a client of Inhand Equine Therapy (for my horse and dogs) for three years. Tina and Cassidy are great with my four legged family - I always see an improvement after each massage.J MTina and her team are an important part of our horses development . Her knowledge of the horse and her interest in our personal goals make it a perfect combination to assist both horse and rider. As we all know when dealing with horses its not always sunshine and roses and she's definitely been a big part of helping me navigate some challenging issues . Not to mention she works closely with Energy Equine which has been an invaluable resource. She also communicates with my coach and provides homework and excercises following a treatment to address weaknesses to improve balance and strength. Again it takes a team and I want to say Thank You Tina and Inhand Equine Therapy for keeping us and our horses happy partners 🥰🐴Adam PasseyTina has been our horse’s therapist for many years, and she has definitely increased his overall health, wellbeing and longevity. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and professional. I highly recommend any horse owner to use her services.

Inhand Equine Therapy Services
Inhand Equine Therapy works very closely as an integral part of an athlete’s wellness team including veterinarians, farriers, equine dentists, saddle fitters, other bodyworkers and trainers, to develop a plan of action that will address optimum health and increase performance of the athlete. 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. This team approach also gives clients a depth of knowledge that involves the entire wellness circle of wellness surrounding the horse.
Inhand Therapy

Inhand Mentor Me
Tina's desire to help the equine bodywork community has been growing for several years and in turn, the local community has embraced Tina as a mentor. The expansion of this part of Inhand's business was the next step.
Inhand Collaborations
When working in the equine industry, there is one word that often comes up surrounding the wellness of each horse; 'team'. It takes a team of professionals to bring a horse to its fullest potential and it isn’t about one individual, but rather the entire team effort.
Expand Inhand
The basis of Inhand Equine Therapy has always been rooted in striving for one thing; mastery; mastery of our craft. Inhand is constantly learning and seeking out the root of dysfunction in the clients' horses, through investigation and breaking down imbalances in biomechanics to craft a back-to-wellness program specifically designed for that particular horse.
