Experience:

Robyn has been teaching course in basic equine muscle therapy to horse owners since 2008, for which she wrote a manual, “An Introduction to Equine Massage for Horse Owners”.

Robyn has lectured to small groups, pony clubs, 4-H clubs, equine fairs, and veterinary medical students.

After working on thousands of horses over a couple of decades, and implementing various modalities, Robyn is able to assess each horse’s needs and their unique tolerances for the type of therapy which will produce maximum benefits and healing responses. Some horses respond best to deep tissue work, some to the lightest trigger point therapy; each horse is a unique individual and must be approached as such.
