How Do I prepare my horse for a session?

For Massage:

Have them in the barn, stall or corral before I arrive.
Make sure they are completely groomed.
Don’t spray them with chemical fly spray. I will use my own. Most commercial fly sprays can make me sick as I absorb them through my hands.
If possible the horse should be warmed up with a light workout before I arrive. Just enough to loosen & warm up their muscles. A regular lesson or schooling session is fine too if there is time for them to completely dry out.
Please feed them before I arrive and have hay on hand for snack during the session.
Crossties are not required. Hand held is preferred as it allows the horse to communicate with me better. It also allows them to drop their head lower.

For Aromatherapy/Raindrop/Symphony of the Cells:

Have them in the barn, stall or corral before I arrive.
Make sure they are completely groomed.
Don’t spray them with chemical fly spray. I will use my own. The chemicals can interfere with the essential oils.

For Saddle Fit:

Have them in the barn, stall or corral before I arrive.
Make sure they are completely groomed.
Any fly spray that you normally use should be applied shortly after I arrive to maximize the effectiveness during the session.
