Testimonials

"It was at the 2005 Appaloosa World in Ft. Worth Texas. We had trucked for 18 plus hours, the stall area was noisy, always had lights on, and not conducive to relaxing. My horse Amigo, normally a rock solid mount, was not cooperating at all in warm-ups. This made me irritable which just relayed back to him and made him more unmanageable.

Doris and Ron from EquiSport were there working on a co-competitors horse, and that trainer suggested I have them look at Amigo. Doris suggested that while Ron worked on Amigo, she give me a chair massage.

After Ron worked on Amigo, he said he was only able to find areas of stress, but no pain issues. Doris found lots of stress in me.

Later that day, we entered the ring and won “World Champion Hunt Seat Equitation” and placed  4th in “Hunter Under Saddle”.

That was the first time in six months that I was able to ride Amigo on the buckle. He was absolutely relaxed. We have been using Doris and Ron ever since."

"Doris and Ron had been working on our horse Dande the winter of 2006. We moved him to a different barn in late Feb., and because of our choice, EquiSport stopped working on him. After a few weeks he developed a bucking problem when transitioning from a walk or trot to the cantor. We moved him back home in May, and had EquiSport come out for evaluations and work.

The first massage was to relax him again and try to determine his issues. By the second massage it was determined that he had some deep strain and tenderness issues in his hind end. We had him massaged three more times before he got back to his old reliable self. We are now jumping him and he has been virtually issue free, thanks to the efforts and regularly scheduled maintenance massages by Doris and Ron. They keep us alerted to potential problems and head them off before they can develop into something more serious.

Additionally, my daughter Haley’s pony Shane kept having difficulties when trying to take his left lead. I mentioned this to Doris and Ron one day and they said they thought a good balancing massage might fix him up. It did. He went back to taking his left lead first time every time.

Recently he started slipping back to an occasional missed lead, so we have massages scheduled again for him and this time will keep him on a regular interval for massages, just for maintenance."

I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done for me. What you have taught me will enhance my life and my relationships with my horses. Thank you.

I believe horses sometimes give to us more than they receive back. Because of this, I’ve searched for a way to provide a loving balance and show my appreciation. Through Equissage-NE / NY I have learned a practical process to evaluate a horse’s pain and then reduce or alleviate that pain through massage. In this way, I am able to give back to horses, some of what they have given me.
