My name is Kelsey Bault and I have been involved with horses since the year 2000. I got my first horse when I was 8, started my first horse when I was 13, and have been going strong ever since. I have always had a thirst for knowledge and a desire to help horses. Equine Sports Therapy is something that has been in my soul for a long, long time. Why did I wait until I was 30 to make it official? On
ly God knows the answer to that question. When I graduated high school, I had plans to become an equine sports therapist. I wanted to help horses feel better, I wanted to be involved in rehab and conditioning. My grandma even arranged a tour of Pegasus Equine in Redmond, WA (SUPER cool place, by the way). Unfortunately, the plans of an 18 year old got derailed. I didn’t know how to become what I wanted to be as I got sucked into the college and career rat race that was preached to me. Financial security became more important than chasing the dream of an 18 year old girl. I had many a conversation with a friend who was in the field already while standing in the barn for hours, watching her work. I admired her hunger for knowledge and the effort she put into being the best. I always thought to myself, if I ever take the leap, that’s exactly how I want to do it. I didn’t want to just go buy a machine, slap it on some horses and call it good. I’m the same with training my horses, if I expect them to have a good foundation, I should expect the same for myself. So, after always keeping this idea simmering at the back of my mind over the years, I could no longer ignore that pull I kept feeling. I attended massage school in January of 2023 and received my certification as an Equine Sports Massage Therapist from Equissage California. Certifications/Completed Courses
