From riders and owners
These are comments from horse owners whose horses have received a massage from Liw and Finding Quiet Equine. They have given permission for their words to be shared.
I rode Slim on Sunday in my lesson. He had had the week to relax into it and I honestly didn’t expect to see such a difference. My coach and I attributed the change to suppleness. He was relaxed and listening… the lesson was way more productive because we didn’t spend half of it just getting him to relax into it and round his back.
Liw was able to come right away. She asked lots of questions and saw Sam ridden and got to work. After a short time he fell asleep, looking like he was enjoying his treatment. In a period of three months — massage, dentist, and changing his diet — he looked like an athlete and ready to go to the Royal. I loved Liw’s attitude. She asked the right questions, took her time for horse and rider, and was extremely accommodating.
The days after her massage when I rode her I felt that she was much more fluid and had more flexibility and suppleness — especially in her neck — at the walk and trot. I had a lesson on Wednesday and she felt so much better. Her canter was much, much improved.
Corky loves your massages and the effects are lasting. He is simply more relaxed. Following your visits his gaits are springier and I can feel his back lifted and swinging. He is definitely more forward and reaching for the bit. Corky is a remarkable old man and still quite the athlete, and your visits seem to peel back the years.
Liw has worked on several horses for me, my own and others I have in training. She has not only helped the horses perform better, but also helped heal a lesion that one mare had in her back. Another benefit became apparent when Liw helped a client’s horse adjust to new surroundings when we moved her to a new barn. I continue to use Liw and am happy to recommend her.
We rode her in a mini-rodeo on Saturday and she was fantastic. I’ve never seen her move that smoothly. Kaitlyn felt that she was more responsive and her trot was much smoother than before.
My horse was great after his massage — very happy to be head down a bit round and very quiet (always a sure sign he is comfortable).
After my horse had the massage by Liw, I noticed a difference with his flexion, and had also felt a difference riding him. My horse became more responsive in the cues I was asking and felt more willing.
