Ask most horsemen to empty their pockets and you may find an odd assortment of questionable items. Peppermints, bailing twine, empty syringe, a bale cutter--all innocent, we assure you, just an odd variety of common items they help get the job done! It takes work, dedication, skill and knowledge to succeed at most things, and it's no different when caring professionally for horses. There's always work to be done and endless opportunities to learn. Both of which inspired BriAnn Session to pursue her certification in equine bodywork.
"I wanted to be able to support our horses better, especially our senior horses," who make up the majority of Ride On St. Louis's herd, says BriAnn. BriAnn serves the organization in multiple roles including grant writing, marketing and helping manage Ride On St. Louis's horses. Recently she became one of three certified Equine Myo-manipulative Functional Therapists in the state of Missouri, qualified to provide professional rehabilitative, maintenance and performance equine massage and bodywork services. "I really enjoy the study and application of equine sciences; and playing a role in the health and longevity of our horses. They are so special to me and to each person they serve in their careers with Ride On St. Louis."
