You will also experience a great introduction to intuitive feel and energetic patterns within ourselves and our horses. The program is interwoven with stories from the field, fun practice sessions that often bring ah-ha moments, and will conclude with you performing a full equine bodywork session on a horse.

We will explore the beginning steps of assessing constriction in the horse and how to resolve. You will learn some basic saddle fit problems - how they show up and what to do about them and examine 6 performance problems commonly created by constricted patterns; Can't bend or turn * Can't Collect * Bucking * Girthy * Arena or performance sour * Or just plain grumpy!

"I highly recommend this course. It has taught me so much in such little time. It also allows me to work at my own pace. I went back through the module several times in different sections to review things that I felt I needed more work on. I really appreciate the knowledge that is being shared here. I cannot say enough great things about the module and the ones teaching it!!!!!! "

What People are Saying about their experiences with the UnBound Horse:

"I thoroughly enjoyed Module #1! This was a really nice blend of technical info and the creative "art" of performing equine bodywork. The Module utilized great learning methods (I won't spoil the fun by explaining) that helped make learning the muscles and skeletal anatomy and physiology easy. I also loved the personal stories shared by Kim. I'm excited to continue on with the next Module!"

"I just completed Module #1 - The UnBound Horse bodywork course. I’m a life-long horse owner and was looking for a course that would help me do my own work on my horses. I’ve had bodywork done on my horses by professionals, but have always wanted to see if I could do it myself. I have to say that this Module (The Unbound Horse - intro course) was brilliant! I now feel comfortable working on my own horses—I have actually been able to feel muscle issues and take care of them! And, not only did this intro course delve into massage technique, it went in depth into other types of bodywork. Now I can do myofascial release, energy holds, leg stretches, plus massage work. Wow!
