“Get set up as a client as soon as you can! The wealth of knowledge Vanessa can share and the good she can do for your horses cannot be overstated.”
– Heather Craven, DVM Chiropractor
“The turn around since you first touched him is just amazing. I don’t know how he could have changed so much but he has, really quickly. I was skeptical, I’m old school. I’m so pleased with him and the work that you do. You keep coming and doing your thing.”
-Simon E., Advanced Event Horse Trainer and Coach
“Our barn was thrilled when some of us discovered we are in Vanessa’s service area. The differences we are seeing in even just a short time are exciting.”
– Kalli Norton
“My horses love Vanessa! She makes a huge difference in their well being and comfort! She is a joy to have in my barn and I have learned so much from her””.”
– Jayne Kenyon
We’ve had PEMF, chiropractor, acupuncture, you’re the only one that we can consistently feel a positive difference in the horses after.”
⁃ Samantha Lane, Instructor/Rider Sunnyfield Equestrian Farm
“The vet recommended that my horse be treated with shockwave therapy for his back. After his treatment there was no difference in him at for 2 weeks, we thought it hadn’t helped. But then Vanessa came out and gave him a massage and after that it was like a switch flipped – he was able to balance himself and control his body and he’s been amazing ever since!”
– Heather Levy
“I rode Apache in the arena today and he was moving so well!! It was so impressed! He was super relaxed at the trot like bending and his head was down and he was using his back. I wasn’t really sure he’d ever move that well again 🥹 yay!!”
-Cali
“A happy horse is truly the gift that keeps on giving. And monthly body work is a big contributor to the recipe for making Milly happy. Thank you, Vanessa!”
-Julie Worley
“Zen really is doing well. We are so grateful to have you on our team!!!”

-Christine N.
“Vanessa worked on a client’s horse who was feeling his age and not quite right (also under chiro & vet care for those who will ask). She took so much care and time with him to help get to the bottom of the issue. After just a few sessions, his body was so much more loose. His entire posture was different and more relaxed – all the time, not just during the work. And he learned to enjoy the work that he shied away from at first. I attribute all of this to Vanessa’s calming presence and awareness. She always responded to how the horse was on the day, and the work makes such a difference for him. Can’t recommend her enough!”
⁃ Whitney Lawson Evans, Trainer/Rider
“Vanessa is amazing and it has helped our horses so much. You can see and feel a difference. You will be glad you did this for your horses.”
– Christina Nichols
“Vanessa is a fantastic bodyworker. I have a gelding with back issues and she really helped him from day one. She’s really talented and the horses love her.”
⁃ Aimee Griffith
“You’ve changed our running program and I cannot thank you enough!!! They have really been bouncing back really well with no fatigue since we started massage with you.”
⁃ Val Evans, Barrel Horse Trainer/Rider/Instructor
“She really turned a corner after you worked on her. She’s doing great now”
– Kylee M., Show Hunters
“One of our horse got his leg hung up in the fence. His injuries healed and he was cleared for full work but he never felt quite right. My Vet suggested that I call Vanessa and have her work on him. After 1 massage he felt completely different than he had before.. He was even and smooth and forward again.”
⁃ Melissa Rice, Master of Hounds, Camden, SC
“You’ve helped me more than any trainer I’ve worked with. He hasn’t bucked once since you worked on him, he’s been so relaxed and happy.” (This lady’s horse was quite anxious and cold-backed and bucked every time she mounted up. He hasn’t bucked since I the first time I worked on him months ago). Sometimes you’re in the right place at the right time to make a small difference in the lives of a horse and rider, and that’s a pretty special thing. 🙂🐴.
⁃ Mary Katherine Towell, Fox Hunter, owner of Tally Ho Exchange, Camden, SC
“So glad we have found you. Zen is a really big fan too! I so appreciate you showing Reghan ways to help him after they ride – you can tell he likes it !!
And what a difference!”
⁃ Tonya Lloyd, Hunter/Jumper parent
“More bang for your buck –
I have always been a big proponent of chiropractic work for myself and my horses. I think it’s a very important part of a horse’s care. However, I had never really thought about massages for my horses. After having Vanessa work on my horses over that past year I am blown away by the results. Between having a horse that was struggling with picking up her left lead and trying to keep my senior horses happy and comfortable, Vanessa has been able to address all of their issues! While I still love chiropractic, I find that I have even better results with massage. If you’re on a budget but need some body work done for your horse I highly recommend budgeting for a massage with Vanessa. You won’t regret it!
⁃ Kate Cote, Windchime Farm
I first started getting my horse’s bodywork done by Vanessa based on a recommendation from the chiropractor. “After the first couple sessions I was surprised by the number of other benefits I saw. My mare used to be very anxious and reactive in the barn. She danced around and pulled back when tied. I saw her begin to relax and stand still while tied in the barn for the first time during one of her first sessions. Now, she straight ties and cross ties politely and patiently. I believe regular massage has been a key factor in getting her to this point. I saw similar results in another anxious mare I had. I think massage was key to getting her to enjoy being handled & loved on.”
⁃ E. Kontir
“I contacted an animal communicator on the recommendation of a friend. The communicator said Cloud told her that his neck, shoulders, withers, and girth area had been feeling much better recently. The communicator knew nothing about Vanessa massaging Cloud a few weeks prior to our call. It was very interesting to hear the Cloud enjoyed his massage visits! Thank you for making Cloud feel better Vanessa!”
⁃ Britney Clark
“So, my Mom had a stadium lesson today (her first since June? May?) And Milly was perfect, as expected. This screen grab shows how straight and even she is and I think you have a lot to do with that. There is a marked difference from before you started working on her to now.”
⁃ Ginny Worley
“Hey Vanessa! I rode my gelding tonight and he felt super amazing!! You are magical and made him feel ahhhhmazing. Thank you so much!!! I’ve already told several (friends). I’m very excited to have found you!”
⁃ A. Griffith
“I thought he felt really light and forward and happy last week ❤️. You’re magic. Thank you “
⁃ J. Kirby
“Your massage work with Indy is the only reason she stands calmly in the isle now. She used to hate being in the barn, she’d run backwards and wouldn’t cross tie safely. The experiences she had with you in the isle made her think differently about being there and now she stands calmly in the cross ties.”
⁃ Emma Michelle, TB Trainer/Rider
“I can tell he feels better since you started working with him. He runs around more when I visit him (retired show jumper). 🤗”
⁃ K. Jennings
He (Willy) hasn’t been lame once since his last massage, his pasture mate is moving him around more, we’re so pleased with him.
– S. O’Niell, Fox-Hunter
“Sebastian would like to give a PSA and thank you for helping him as his muscles change and develop! He came in to work after being off for a year and was very crooked and unsymmetrical. As I started working him and helping him straighten out she has really helped keep those muscles looser so he can continue to develop and change the right way!”
