Case Study: Solving a "Girthy" Mare in 90 Minutes

The Problem

Emma's mare had been "girthy" for months.

Pinned ears during mounting. Tension through the whole tacking process.

Emma tried different girths, slower tacking, and treats. Nothing changed.

The Assessment

Emma booked a Movement Breakthrough Session—a 90-minute online consultation where I assess movement restrictions through video analysis.

She sent videos beforehand. I watched her mare move and spotted the issue: fascial restriction through the right ribcage.

The Release

During our video call, I guided Emma through the first release while she stood with her mare.

Within minutes, the mare's posture shifted.

Emma tacked up again at the end of our session.

Mare stood calmly. No pinned ears. No tension.

"I can't believe that just happened," Emma said.

The Follow-Up

Emma continued the remaining releases herself over the next four weeks.

Her mare is now relaxed and soft through the entire tacking process.

How the Movement Breakthrough Session Works

You send videos beforehand. We review them together on the call.

I show you where the restriction is and why it's causing the problem you're seeing.

Then I guide you through the first release while you're with your horse on the call. Your horse responds in real time.

By the end of our session, you'll have the exact location and cause of the restriction, visible improvement in how your horse moves, a recording of our session, and clarity on next steps.
