Prairie Equine Performance Therapy

Come board with us!

When the summer has been so busy you dissappear off social media 😬
I've spent the summer surrounded my horses, dealing with sick hospitalized foals, traveling to treat client horses, and of course running the farm at home. It's been a blast!

I am taking new travel myofascial clients, as well as a couple spots opening up for specialty boarding at !

I will be attending this and can't wait! Highly recommend if you can make it out!

I realized it's been a while since I've introduced myself, so...

Meet Prairie Equine Performance!

My name is Lauren, and I am Prairie Equine Performance Therapy. I'm a certified Equine Performance Therapist, established in 2021. Through my EPT certification, I am trained in myofascial release and acupressure therapy, as well as educated in nutrition, saddle fit, and rehabilitation and conditioning programming. Prior to my certification, I obtained my Equine studies diploma with the UoG. During my diploma, I obtained certifications in equine nutrition, anatomy, and sports physiology. This started my journey in Equine rehabilitation and athletic development!

Since then, I have spent time furthering my education and adding different modalities to my skill set. Most recently, I began my journey with the training to become an integrative hoofcare provider with a special interest in rehabilitation.

However, I am so much more than just my education! I've owned horses for over 13 years and have played all the roles from casual rider, trainer, competitor, rehaber, and full-time caretaker. With that, I have faced all the love and heartbreak that comes with horses. The successes, the fun, the injuries, the mistakes, and the losses.

Through that, my passion and dedication has only grown. I am so passionate about helping owners with their horses because I have been there, and I understand the feeling. I believe the best way to facilitate change is to be open about the experiences and faults that came before success. As long as we share an environment of learning and desire to do better, we can go so far. Through a multifaceted, whole-horse approach, my goal is to work together with you and your horses team to help you achieve your goals and help your horse feel and perform their best.

Some quick facts about adding stretches to your horses regime:

○ A regular stretching program may reduce stiffness, improve flexibility, reduce pain, and increase muscle size.

○ You should never stretch cold muscles, force a horse to hold a stretch, or use excessive force to make a horse to stretch further.

○ Recent research has suggested that stretching only three days a week may be safer and more effective than stretching more or less often. More isn't always more!

○ You should always seek professional help when setting up a stretching program to ensure optimal results and safety for you and your horse. Incorrect stretching can cause damage.
