About
The Missing Piece
As a fellow horse owner, I understand how difficult the process is when your horse goes lame, isn't as fit as you'd like them to be, or just feels "off". The Missing Piece Equine came from a need in my personal life as an owner when my horse Tommy became progressively lame.
I was tired of all of the tests and medications that just seemed to mask his pain, rather than identify and treat the root cause of the issue. I decided to look into alternative modalities and discovered he had deep tissue bruising from poorly carrying himself and a poorly fitting saddle. With time and the right combination of therapeutic modalities, Tommy progressively improved and is sound and comfortable.
This experience sparked a passion in me to help horses and their owners find that missing piece they've been struggling with through detailed evaluations, action plans for owners, and therapeutic modalities to support the treatment process.

How We Help Horses and Their Owners:
Through Sustainable Therapeutic Modalities and Empowering Horse Owners Through Education and Detailed Action Plans
You're in the right place if:
You need a fitness plan for your horse
you are interested in what therapeutic modalities can do for your horse
your horse needs a rehab plan
Yes! Although many injured horses benefit, these services are also great for keeping muscles healthy to prevent injury!
My horse is not lame and does not have an injury, so does he really need your services?
Frequently Asked Questions
Even if your horse is not hurt, their body and muscles still need support to stay healthy and remain uninjured. We can work on conditioning, finding stretches to incorporate, relieving any imbalances in the gait that may eventually lead to an issue, relieve any soreness or tension and so much more!
What exactly can you do for my horse if he is not hurt?
No! I love working with all horses!
Does age, discipline or breed play a factor in the services you offer to each horse?
This is truly case dependent, but I usually recommend a one-two week interval for the first few visits.
How often will you need to see my horse after the first visit?
There is no waiting time! That is the best part!
How long do I have to wait before I ride my horse again after he is taped and/or cupped?
This is case dependent, but oftentimes once the injury is healed, you can decide if you want your horse to continue the service for proper health maintenance or terminate the services.
Will my horse need your services for the rest of their life?
Of course! At this time, we travel up to one hour for barn visits.
Do you offer barn discounts if multiple horses at my barn get seen on the same day?
Do you offer any services for humans or just horses?
I am only certified, educated, and insured to work on horses at this time, although I have seen so many of these services offered to humans (including myself) with equal success.
Where did I get my education?
I have done a lot and am still learning! I went to Johnson and Wales University for undergrad, as well as grad school, Animal Rehab Institute for my rehab certification, Equi-Tape for my taping certification, and there are more certifications currently in the works!
