✨ A little life update! ✨

I’m sorry I’ve been a little quiet on social media these past couple of weeks! Life has been BUSY behind the scenes. Between getting my kids ready to head back to school, getting back into a routine, and squeezing in as much summer fun as we possibly could, social media definitely took a backseat. 🥰☀️

But while I’ve been a little quiet on here, my equine massage business has been busier than ever! 🐴✨

I’m so incredibly excited and grateful to share that we just had our BEST week in sales since opening! 🎉❤️

I truly cannot thank you all enough. Every booking, referral, recommendation, share, and kind word means so much to me. Whether you’re one of my amazing returning clients or someone who found me because a fellow horse owner recommended me—THANK YOU! 🫶

It means the world to me that you trust me with your horses and allow me to be a small part of their care and well-being. I’m so grateful for every horse I get the opportunity to work with and for this business that I love so much. 🐴❤️

Here’s to getting back into a routine, a new season, and lots more happy, relaxed horses! 🍂🐴

Thank you for supporting my small business! 🤎

Anyone else feeling the mid-summer zzz? 😴☀️

We sure are over here at EquiTouch!

Cookie is taking a well-deserved nap because growing a baby is hard work. ❤️🐴

Mid-summer can be tough on our horses too. With many in the middle of show season, their bodies are working hard and feeling the effects of all those miles, rides, and competitions.

Now is the perfect time to add massage to their routine. Equine massage helps improve circulation, ease sore and tired muscles, and support healthy tissue so your horse can recover, recharge, and finish the season feeling their best.

Let’s keep our equine partners happy, comfortable, and performing at their peak! 💙

🐴✨ The Benefits of Equine Massage on the Nervous System ✨🐴

Equine massage does much more than relax muscles—it helps regulate and support your horse’s nervous system, promoting overall health and well-being.

🌿 Helps either stimulate or soothe the nervous system, depending on what your horse needs, supporting a state of homeostasis (balance).

💚 Encourages healthy levels of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters associated with relaxation, comfort, and positive mood.

🌱 Helps reduce cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone.

😊 Promotes the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals, with benefits that can last up to 48 hours after a massage session.

🕊️ Stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest” mode), helping the body rebalance, recover, and activate natural healing processes.

A balanced nervous system supports not only relaxation but also improved performance, recovery, and overall wellness. Every horse deserves to feel their best! ❤️

Equine Massage and the Cardiovascular System

Massage can have several effects on the cardiovascular system:

Increases venous return and supports overall venous system function.

Causes reflex vasodilation (widening) of veins and arteries.

Increases arterial and arteriolar blood flow to tissues.

May contribute to a reduction in blood pressure through relaxation and improved circulation.

May decrease heart rate as the horse becomes more relaxed and parasympathetic activity increases.

In horses with previously compromised circulation, veins may become more visible on the body or face following massage due to improved blood flow and venous filling.

🐴✨ The Importance of the Equine Lymphatic System ✨🐴

The lymphatic system is the body’s natural waste disposal network. A vast system of lymph vessels throughout the horse’s body collects toxins, excess fluid, and cellular waste, transporting them to be processed and excreted.

💆‍♀️ Equine massage can help support healthy lymphatic flow by:
✔️ Assisting the movement of lymph throughout the body
✔️ Supporting natural detoxification processes
✔️ Promoting a healthy immune system
✔️ Reducing fluid retention and congestion
✔️ Encouraging overall wellness and recovery

When the lymphatic system is functioning efficiently, your horse is better equipped to maintain health, recover from exercise, and perform at its best.

A healthy lymphatic system contributes to a healthier, happier horse. 🐎💚

🐴 Equine Massage: Benefits for Muscle Health & Performance 🐴

Equine massage therapy offers a wide range of benefits for your horse’s muscular health, comfort, and overall performance.

✨ Effects of Massage on Muscles:

✔️ Decreases recovery time for fatigued muscles
✔️ Improves muscle efficiency and performance
✔️ Increases healthy muscle tone
✔️ Reduces muscle spasms and tension
✔️ Helps dislodge scar tissue and adhesions, supporting the healing process
✔️ Assists in restoring muscle deformities caused by injury or compensation patterns
✔️ Encourages contracted muscles to relax and stretched muscles to return to balance
✔️ Increases flexibility and range of motion

Regular massage can help your horse move more freely, recover faster, and perform at their best—whether they’re competing, working, or simply enjoying life.

🐎 Healthy muscles, happier horses

True lateral flexion is a whole-body exercise that requires coordination, strength, and suppleness throughout the horse.

✨ The neck and topline must remain loose and elastic to allow an effective stretch.

✨ The lateral muscles of the lumbar region work together, balancing extension and contraction to create both bend and rotation.

✨ A supple jaw and poll allow the horse to soften, relax, and confidently accept the rein contact.

✨ The hindquarters must engage, generating the impulsion needed to carry the horse forward.

✨ The abdominal muscles contract to lift the thorax and support collection, helping the horse carry itself with greater balance.

When all these elements work harmoniously together, the result is true lateral flexion—a movement that develops suppleness, strength, balance, and self-carriage throughout the entire body.

Hi, I’m Jamie Voskamp, owner of Equitouch.

I am a Registered Practical Nurse, work at a local café, and am a proud mom of three busy kids. Life keeps me busy, but my passion for horses is what led me to start Equitouch.

My journey began when I became fascinated by the biomechanics of horses and the causes of lameness issues. I found myself constantly wanting to learn more about how the equine body works and functions. That curiosity quickly grew into a passion, and I decided to take an equine massage course so I could help horses feel and perform at their very best.

I truly believe that every horse has something to teach us—we just have to be willing to listen.

My nursing background has given me a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology, which has been incredibly valuable in my work with horses. Understanding how the body moves and functions has come naturally to me, and I love applying that knowledge to help support equine health and wellness.

I absolutely love what I do and am so grateful to everyone who has trusted me with their horses. It is a privilege to be part of their care and well-being.

If you’d ever like to discuss your horse, their movement, comfort, or overall wellness, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to chat and see if Equitouch would be a great fit for you and your horse.

Ps I love this little spicy pony!

Movement is a full-body collaboration.

✔️ The back muscles stay relaxed and supple to allow extension and freedom of movement.

✔️ The cutaneous colli assists by contracting, supporting movement of the sternum and rib cage.

✔️ The abdominal muscles engage to create a downward pelvic tilt, helping establish balance and alignment.

✔️ The quadriceps activate to drive the body forward with power and control.

Every step, stride, and movement pattern depends on muscles working together in harmony. Understanding these connections helps us move more efficiently, perform better, and support long-term health.
