Shelley Patterson CEMT
Certified Equine Massage Therapist
Hello! I’m Shelley Patterson, a certified equine massage therapist, trained in Sport Massage techniques through the Animal Rehab Institute (ARI). My practice combines skill, compassion, and experience earned by years of hands-on experience in equine rescue, care, and rehabilitation. I understand the needs and sensitivities of every horse, and I’m committed to improving both comfort and performance through a holistic, whole-horse approach. I tailor each session to the individual needs of the horse. Book a massage. Your horse will love you for it!

Taika
Taika is my own adopted horse. She is over 20 years old and arthritic. She enjoys her massages and stretches and I have noticed that routine treatments have been a great help in improving her range of motion, fluidity in movement, and comfort. Despite some lameness, she is energetic and sassy and I think the massage treatments and a whole horse approach have brought her a long way.

Bogo
My miniature horse Bogo is a driving horse and she was showing signs of being sore. Shelley was able to pin point where the soreness was coming from and treat her accordingly. She seems much more relaxed and comfortable after her massages!

Azarel
Azarel is my 13 year old OTTB. His racing years were not kind and his body is showing signs of the toll it took. He also is emotional at times. When Shelley arrived he was a bit fidgety and unsure. Well, after a few minutes he began to relax, his breathing slowed down and he stepped into a zone of peace. As the massage continued he began to release all tension. He made the funniest of faces and truly let go. I was so pleased to see him happy and so relaxed. Shelley was great and patiently worked on all of his tension points. Azarel and I loved the experience and highly recommend her.

Eli & Ginny
As one of Shelley’s first equine massage clients, I have been fortunate to have my horses benefit from Shelley’s high skill level, knowledge, and her intuitive feel for horses. Mine are not always easy; Shelley is a true professional and my horses just love her. She is thorough, explains everything, makes insightful recommendations for overall horse health, and is just a pleasure to be around. I can’t recommend Shelley any more highly.
