Good morning, Everyone!

I'm popping on here to put out a little heads up for booking my services over the next few months.
I will be slowly cutting back on the number of horses I will do in a day. As well as only traveling to one or two locations in a day. So if you are planning on having me out, even a month out from now PLEASE reach out ASAP. Spots will fill up quickly.
Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are not bookable (Tues and Thurs PM by special request and close to home)! Weekends, of course are prime time.

I am in "Prep" for a body building show in November!
If you are unsure what that entails, I'll give you a brief over view.
I have been in a strict diet (I weigh and track all my food, drinks and water) since March and as we trend closer to November my food will be quite low. On top of doing that I am also doing (currently, this will go up) 40min of fasted cardio six days a week. Plus lifting 5x a week, heavy and close to failure.

The goal is to preserve as much of my muscle tissue and peel away the body fat to show case it with a dark tan, stage lights and the blingy-est bikini you have ever seen.... oh yeah, in 5" heels.
While I am looking more muscular than you normally would see me, this muscle has been built over years and years of lifting. This diet is just to reveal the physique Ive been building. A Bodybuilding prep you are not building a body. Its a slow controlled diet to show off all your hard work! No, this is not an eating disorder, healthy or sustainable!
Yes I have a coach who is guiding me through this. No, this is not forever!

Post show, I will reverse out of this diet and intense exercise, and be back to a full normal schedule by the New Year.

I want to continue offering you the same high quality attention to detail you have come to expect from me, and I just can't do that at full scale with my personal goals right now.

Thank you for all your patience and support. This has been a really fun process (believe it or not) can I cannot wait to share the final look with you all eventally!

So I am pulling the plug on the Royal trip. I just could not get enough to fill the bus and pay for the bus. I will be sending out refunds but it will take a minute so don't get too impatient. I can give you the Royal ticket if you can find your own way down there.

Final push but I can't see it happening. I need to fill the bus. I need to pay the bus company so I can't wait for folks to think about it. I on't have 12 people signed up I need more than that to pay the bus. So you all have till the end of today to opt in and sign up to go to the Royal the cheapest and easiest way possible. Here is the form with prices and details.

For those who have never been on this bus trip. We go every year. The price includes the bus down and back same day (yes it is a very long day) entry into the Royal and the evening performance tickets. Dressage is on the menu I see for Tuesday the 5th. Yes it is a Tuesday, take the day off work and the next day too if you are smart. But hey you don't have to drive and you don't have to park! For those who have never been the the Royal Winter Fair, consider this your gateway drug. There is so much to see and do, you will not be bored, maybe just tired. There is a Superdog type show, shopping food, goats, cows, etc. and the horse shows! St. Lawrence and Ottawa Valley Pony Club is the Sponsor of this event.

✨️✨️ BOOKINGS ARE OPEN ✨️✨️

Please be patient with me as I get back into the swing of things!

Hello, everyone!
It has been a while! I had lost access to this page, and then I broke my sacrum... but I am working my way to being out helping horses! Before I start reaching out to book sessions, I just wanted to post a few updates.

I have been putting off raising my prices for a while, but I can't hold off anymore. It's an uncomfortable time as a small business owner.
Sessions will now be $115 + HST. The multi-horse discount is $105 + HST and is for four or more horses at one location.

I am pleased to share that I am currently pursuing my full Diploma in Equine Osteopathy. This time off has allowed me to focus on my education and enhance my skills. As I progress into my clinical classes, I will be seeking specific types of horses for case studies and my thesis. I will be offering these sessions at a reduced fee (but travel may apply) since I will be doing things a little differently then.

Before resuming bookings, I am undergoing final testing and fitness preparations to ensure that I can provide comprehensive and effective sessions. My goal is to deliver the highest quality of care to your horses.

Thank you for your patience and understanding! I can't wait to see you all again soon!
