Site Under Construction! Thank you for your patience - Maren
With over a decade and a half of experience with horses, I am a dedicated equine professional based on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia.
Throughout my career, I have developed a patient, thoughtful approach to equine care. As a Certified Equine Mayo-Massage Therapist, PHCP Hoofcare Student Practitioner, and advocate for R+ training methods, I am committed to improving the well-being of horses through a holistic, science-based, and individualized approach.
I am continually advancing my knowledge through ongoing continuing education, classes, courses, and hands-on mentorships.
Please learn more about my background HERE.
I offer individualized hoof care for horses undergoing hoof rehabilitation, performance horses, and balanced maintenance trims, with an emphasis on helping the horse develop the healthiest, most functional feet possible. My services include hoof boot fitting, composite shoeing, hoof armor, and hoof casting, as needed.
Bodywork is a valuable part of supporting your horse’s comfort, movement, and overall well-being. I work primarily through fascia release, and sessions are tailored to each horse. Bodywork is a beneficial addition to rehabilitation, regular maintenance, and pre/post show preperation. During my sessions, I may incorporate a variety of techniques and tools, including Kinesiology tape, Red Light Therapy, and Balance pads.
I believe horses should be active participants in their own care whenever possible. Using positive reinforcement (R+) training, we can help your horse build confidence and understanding around handling and care. R+ Training and Consults can include positive hoof handling experiences, behaviour consults, and support for horses who are nervous, fearful, or have had negative handling experiences.
