Why Holistic Horse Works and Why Equine Holistic Therapy?
April has discovered that many things can contribute to a horse’s emotional, physical and mental well-being or distress. In fact, generally, training and behavior problems are pain related.
Many things that contribute to a horse’s comfort or lack thereof include, but are not limited to, saddle fit, diet, and living conditions, as well as regular routine and activity.
The premise of Holistic Horseworks LLC unique Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding therapy is based on exactly that: a holistic therapy that releases tension from the musculoskeletal body, the fascial body, the emotional body and the osteopathy body of the horse. Using bodywork techniques to realign the musculoskeletal body, the therapy also uses advanced applied kinesiology techniques and ancient Chinese energy work methods that can bring softness, suppleness and vitality back to the horse in just one session.
Additionally, April has discovered that some of the answers to the changes she sees in her equine partners in equine holistic therapy may be related to a build-up of toxins in their bodies, mainly the Thimerosal and other by-products currently in today’s vaccines, as well as chemical wormers.

We want to be your healing resource and to share all this knowledge globally.
CHECK IT OUT NOW
When the first rib is out, it does not allow the shoulder to move correctly as described by most horse chiropractors.
On this skeleton you will see under the horse’s right shoulder (left side of photo), there is no gap.
The first rib was out on the right side, this can make taking the right lead very uncomfortable. As well as making the left front leg work twice as hard, as you will notice by the left hoof, which has grown larger taking most of the weight of the horse. This causes stress on the left tendon and suspensory ligament. Also, stress would have been thrown back to the inside left hock as horses work a diagonal and right stifle, the same side as the rib that is out. To confirm this, ask any professional trainer how the horse uses their body when in work.
When horses are unwilling to take a certain lead this is generally the major cause, not that they are lazy, or don’t want to, or that they have a weaker side. Soft passive stretching can help the rib issue and comfort and ease returns to the horse. Yoga is good for horses as well as it is good for us. It makes horses feel better and improves their willingness to do what we ask of them.

The Horses Are Talking – Are You Listening?
My Approach
Sometimes she just stands with her hands on the horse. You’ll see her do stretches with a horse, massage…and she does funny things with her fingers.
The goal is to assist the horse’s body, putting it in a position where it can effectively heal itself. There are conformation elements, soft tissue elements, emotional elements, muscle memory elements, nutritional elements, and toxicity elements. Finding the balance takes more than good technique.
The most direct way to describe April’s approach is to say that she listens to the horse, asks the horse which modality it needs first, listens for the answer, and applies her techniques in whatever way is most appropriate at that time.
About April Love
As the founder of Holistic Horseworks, LLC, April Love has taken decades of classes and her experience of training and riding horses to a new level of healing horses. While training the ‘un-trainable or problem’ horses, she found that many of them exhibited pain, and when the pain was taken away, ‘the problem issues’ were too.
April has spent over $16,000 in various courses over the last two decades learning how to find the ’cause’ of the issues creating the pain that causes those problems in horses. She teaches her innovative techniques in clinics worldwide to horse owners and equine professionals globally. She also has several DVDs, Home Study courses, and free YouTube videos that help horse owners make their horses live more comfortably.
