I’m never super active on social media to begin with, but the super big break has been because we’ve been (kind of) keeping a secret 🤫

The next CMF Performance team member is expected in December! I’ve been slow to respond and even slower to schedule as pregnancy with a baby has been hectic to say the least 😂

Although I’m starting to feel better(ish) and reaching out to more clients to get on the books, some of my travel days are still very limited. I’ll catch up with everyone in due time and I can’t wait to see all the ponies again!

In the meantime, keep sending me all the wonderful pictures and videos!! I’m living vicariously through you guys 😂

Just romanticizing my life over here❤️

Having a kid and still being able to pursue my business within the means that suits our family best is such a blessing! I’m forever grateful to my clients who understand rescheduled appointments during a rough pregnancy, time away for maternity leave, and now appointments starting later because baby is having baby moments. I say this over and over again, but my clients are my people and there isn’t a single one of you that I don’t love coming to see. It took me three years to build my full time schedule, and while I had moments of doubt and impatience, seeing what we have created now 5 years in makes every negative moment worth it.

There is a reason I went back and got my human license!

Did you know? The horse adapts to rider stiffness, not just rider weight!

📚 The science
Research on horse–rider interaction shows that rider postural control and stiffness affect force transmission through the saddle, altering how forces are absorbed and redistributed by the horse (Clayton & Hobbs, 2017).

🧠 What this means biomechanically
In biotensegrity terms, stiffness increases pre-stress in the system.
A stiff rider raises the overall tension in the horse–rider structure, forcing the horse to increase muscular tone to stabilise itself.

🧍 In plain terms
You don’t need to be heavy to be disruptive.

If you brace:
• through your core
• through your hips
• through your thoracic spine
• or hold your breath

…your horse stiffens because it has to.

This often looks like:
• hollowing
• shortened stride
• rushing
• loss of swing

This is something we discussed in our webinar with Tuulia Luomala on the myofascial connection between horse and rider (pic)

🎓 Why this matters (webinar)
Being “strong” isn’t enough. We’ll break down where riders need stability and where they need mobility, and why confusing it all messes horses up!

Join us for a webinar with my good friend and colleague Gus Olds from The Rider Movement

*Equine Massage*
I’ve been able to add one more day to my January rotation! My books filled up before I needed to post the schedule, so if you didn’t get on this month and want me out let me know!
February is also filling up quickly but I do have priority to those that I do not hit this month. I will be reaching out later this week to confirm appointments, but feel free to contact me sooner to solidify your dates!
