Sabrina
Kohoutek has been an avid horse lover and rider for more than
twenty-five years. While she grew up on a horse, it wasn’t until
she attended Cal Poly Pomona for Pre-Veterinary Medicine, that
she knew caring for horses was her chosen path in life.
During her time on the Cal Poly Pomona Equestrian Team, Sabrina
traveled and competed against other universities in show jumping
and hunter pleasure classes. After College, she transitioned
into the exhilarating world of endurance riding where the need
for peak physical fitness of both horse and rider was intense.
While she loved competing, she recognized the physical toll it
took, not just on her, but on her horses as well. To help her
best friends recover, Sabrina used a technique she knew was
effective: massage. Thanks to massage and good horse management,
she competed consistently with no injuries and her horses always
ended the rides in great condition.

Thanks to
discovering the book “Beating Muscle Injuries for Horses” by
Jack Meagher, Sabrina has used the power of massage on her own
horses for nearly 20 years with amazing results. Her continued
passion in exploring this alternative treatment lead Sabrina to
Mary Schreiber, one of the leading
experts in a sports massage technique known better as Equissage.
Under Mary’s teachings and guidance, Sabrina became a certified
Sports Massage Therapist and later was chosen to be the Chief
Instructor at Equissage California. Her passion for horses and
the power of sports massage combined with her innate
communication skills has made her a very effective and powerful
instructor. Her passion for this work is contagious and
inspiring; it makes the curriculum fun and easy to learn.

Sabrina enjoys
sharing her knowledge and expertise with all of her students and
especially thrives on all the amazing stories that come back her
way about horses healing and improving through the use of the
Equissage therapy. She gains immense joy watching and hearing
about horses thriving as a result of this extremely effective
therapy. Local Veterinarians, Equine Chiropractors, and Farriers
have all commended Sabrina’s work, saying it’s been a great
compliment to their more traditional western treatments.
Sabrina
currently lives in Valley Center, California (North San Diego
County) with her husband Kelly and their two children Natalie
and Evan. Together they enjoy their extended family of horses,
trail riding, endurance riding, and enjoying several shows
throughout the year.
