Horsemen have long acknowledged the healing power of hands-on therapy
for horses and massage therapy is now enjoying a resurgence of interest
in the care of the equine athlete. Massage is often the natural
modality of choice for increasing performance potential and management
of injuries: bodywork is non-invasive, drug-free, and relatively
low-cost. Therapeutic massage is not a substitute for proper veterinary
care, but can often enhance prescribed treatments.
Candi Johnson has been a massage therapist in private practice since 1983.
After six years in exclusively human practice, she apprenticed for two years
in equine massage. The HorseWorks was begun as a professional equine bodywork
practice in 1989. Candi Johnson has worked primarily with sport and performance
horses in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Hawai'i since that time. She has presented
at many clinics and workshops, including the Equine Alternatives series.
Candi is available for equine bodywork by appointment, as well as clinics. Basic cost is $65
per equine session, with higher charges for a small number of animals or long distance travel.
Feel free to call and discuss specifics for your situation.
Raindrop Therapy with Young Living® pure organic essential oils is now
available for your equine companions. For more information, click here.

owners, riders, and trainers to identifiy stress patterns and increase flexibility
and relaxation in both horse and rider. For more information on massage
therapy for riders, click here.
The HorseWorks is proud to offer the most advanced nutritional supplements
available today. So often the attitude and training challenges exhibited
by our horses are the result of nutritional imbalances. Dynamite® products
address these imbalances with amino-acid mineral chelates, probiotic products,
digestive enzymes, and toxin-neutralizing substances.
