Testimonials

What a learning experience!! Couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to learn with and am extremely fortunate to have had the chance to learn from a person as knowledgeable and passionate about their work as Sabrina. What I've learned from EQUISSAGE will forever change how I look at a horse. I can't thank you enough.

Good morning sunshine!!!

I hope this email finds you and your family happy and healthy!!

First, Thank you again for the advice you gave me regarding laminitis!!! My little POA, Miss Pony, is doing GREAT!! Even after one massage!!! Just yesterday I visited her, and her spirits were so high!! She is unable to walk due to the pain, put you could see it in her eyes, she was so alert and happy to see me. While massaging her, she would sway back and forth to relieve the pain in her front hoofs, even leaning into my body to relieve tension and pressure from her little feet. Even though she's in pain... her owner even notice her happy disposition!!!

I just wanted to share with you!!! It was a beautiful experience and I love my Miss Pony so much!! Thank you for allowing us to call you with questions!!! I am so greatful for this opportunity to project love and healing through the magical world of Equine Sports Massage Therapy!!! I love this life of mine!!!

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to talk to you soon!! Take care my dear.

Your friend,

Hi Sabrina,

First of all: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LAST WEEK!!!
I really had fun, you have created such a comfortable learning environment - and now that it has all settled a bit, I do feel like I learned a lot in this one week. Not just the sequence, but being around horses, hands-on, trying to read them a little. Even the smallest thing, eg brushing, was a big deal for me... finally REAL experience, rather than just the book stuff. And it is so important to me to see that I do have my interest in vet med still in me. I had some doubts before.
Thank you for your patience and kindness in sharing your expertise and experience.

Again, thank you so much, I am really grateful for this experience and the little "push" back into working with animals, whatever form it may take in the future. Your encouragement meant a lot to me. Yes, sure many gaps need to be filled, but it does not seem like hard work when my heart is in it and I enjoy it.

Hi Sabrina!

What an amazing experience Rita and I both had at Equissage Ca!

I have been manifesting a life working with horses for a long time and i have to say that after completing your course, i know this was the right choice for me.

Your home was the perfect setting for learning and healing. 

Thank you for the wonderful experience... keep in touch!

Regards,
Jennifer


Hi Sabrina,

I just wanted to touch base with you and thank you once again for helping me to find this gift that has been given me to be of service and help give back to God's beautiful animals. The day after returning home from taking your class I gave my mare her first massage. At least it's her first that I am aware of. For about the last 5 months she's had a very stiff right hand turn. No bend at all. I was excited to do her massage expecting to find problems in the neck area. To my surprise, it was actually her back that was extremely touchy. It was touchy to the point that I even had to use compression rather than percussion to open and close. There is no mistake that I massaged the horse that I did before working on my own mare. To watch her eyes go from "ouch" to "ahhh" and watch her entire body just melt was amazing. That evening we decided to head to a gymkhana at the last minute. I figured we could get a little "barrel" practice in before our barrel race the coming wed. night. We get there and I find out it is all pole events.
We have never been very good at any of the pole events. We ran so well together that night...key word: together. I just couldn't believe how soft and supple she was either. We ended up taking home High Point. Our very first one ever. It still did not dawn on me until 2 days later...the area's that were so sore were the Latissimus and Longissimus Dorci's. Back extension and lateral flexion. Go figure.
I am going to be doing my first 2 massage's this Sunday and I am very excited to see the results and to be able to help more horses.

Thank you once again, Tina Glidden


Hi Sabrina!

I just wanted to thank you for teaching me so much! I learned a lot, and I can't wait to work on more horses. I really enjoyed the program and had a great time with you guys! Thanks again :)

Aloha, Ashley


Dear Sabrina,

I would like to express my gratitude to you and your wonderful school!  Learning equine sports massage has been nothing less than amazing!  I am so glad I attended your school in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.

From your warm, professional indoor classroom to the breathtaking view by the stalls I felt like I was on a retreat rather than taking a class!  Your extensive knowledge of horses ranging from behavior to anatomy and equine sports was not only educational but entertaining.  I could not have asked for a better teacher!

Upon completion of your course, I could not wait to work on these magnificent animals.  To date, I have found equine sports massage to be nothing less than fulfilling and enjoyable!  

Thank you for extending your knowledge and passion through a classroom setting for all to enjoy!

Sabrina,

The article on Colic in the newsletter reminded me I wanted to tell you that the colic sequence has worked several times on my own mare in the last couple of months. Although I've owned her for 6 years and she has never been a colicy horse before, she seems to have had a difficult time adjusting to our relocation to Temecula and hasn't had a happy digestive system lately, but each time I've applied the colic sequence and really within minutes she seems to be relieved from her discomfort and goes back to eating. It is truly amazing how well touch works. Yay!

Sabrina,

I did a full body massage on my gelding Louie last weekend. He has been "off" for over a year. He has had x-rays and they found a small bone spur in his pastern joint but I have felt for months now that something else was going on. He normally starts out short stridden on the left and works out of it. But when he canters on the left lead I know he is uncomfortable and he will start sneezing after about a lap. Sneezing is his sign of being unhappy. So I got him out Friday and lunged him and he looked better than he has for well over a year. My trainer said he looked really good on Wednesday when she got him out too. I rode him yesterday and he didn't start out stiff and when we cantered on the left lead, he felt just like the right lead and there was no sneezing. So Amazing!! When I massage him last weekend he was trying to bite me the whole time I did his front end and was really pawing on several spots. I did him again today and he only tried to bite me in a few areas and only pawed on the ant pecs and in the lower spinatus groove.

So just having now the ability to help my own horse has made the class so worth it!!

Our vet gave us Sabrina’s name and number. As my trust level in my vet is very high and he does not often offer such resounding endorsements, I knew she had to be great. Little did I know how great.

Within one treatment my horses changed. I was stunned. There was a  dramatic change in their muscles and disappearance of many of the ‘bunchings’ and striations. My geldings neck ‘filled out’.
All of my horses are moving so much easier. I had her work on our little two year old filly as well and it is had an incredibly positive effect on her responsiven
ess and comfort level with people.
We have just started on a regular program and my connection and communication with my horses has benefited greatly from it.

Thank you Sabrina!

Sabrina,

This class was MORE amazing that I had imagined and THAT was hard to beat. Thank you for the gift of YOU and your knowledge and patience. I hope you are having a wonderful ride this weekend and can relax a bit.

Hugs,

Hey Sabrina,

I gave my horse her first massage today and she loved it! I was right, she does have a lot of tension and spasms in her withers and she was very good at reacting when I found a sore spot, but as soon as I began applying direct pressure she would lower her head and close her eyes again. I am so excited to begin working on more horses in the Yuma area and actually already have someone who wants me to massage some of her ponies by the end of the week. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful teacher! Its so great to not even be out of highschool and start my own business.

Natasha


Sabrina,

I wanted to formally thank you for the wonderful week we shared. You have an amazing gift, a very calming spirit and love just pours out of you. You put me at ease and you were very patient as well. I look forward to seeing you again. Please let me know when I can come back and shadow you, help with any projects or assist when you visit the shelters.
