Tracey
has a great desire to understand the underlying concepts of
a horse’s training and how individual disciplines manage
their horses. She has in incredible respect and appreciation
for the impressive athletic toll placed on high performance
horses. This is what primarily motivates her in her practice,
as she sees her role in the horses’ healthcare as a
part of a team. Working together with the supervising veterinarians,
trainers, riders and the ever-important grooms and care-takers,
ensures that not only the horses physical body is sound, but
also it’s mind.
Tracey’s practice is not limited to just high performance
athletes. Some of her favourite ‘clients’ are
individuals whose sole purpose is to provide their owners
with the satisfaction of companionship. To Tracey, a horse
is a horse, it doesn’t matter what they do or who rides
them, her passion is to provide that horse relief from whatever
physical demands and stresses are placed on them.
While
show jumpers, dressage, eventers and rodeo performance horses
have long embraced the benefits of massage, Tracey has found
the Standard bred industry is quickly catching on to the many
benefits of regular massage treatments. Breaking track records
and increasing lifetime earnings are some of her most recent
accomplishments. Many of Tracey’s ‘clients’
are members of the Canadian Show Jumping Team both past and
present, representing the country at such prestigious shows
as the Olympics, Pan American Games, World Championships and
Nations Cups.
Regular
massage both at home and on the road is paramount to the physical
and mental health of horse as well as the success of the horse
and rider partnership.
Being recognized as an integral part of the team has provided
Tracey with opportunities she never anticipated. She has worked
with many talented veterinarians on both sides of the border
and as far away as Mexico. Such experiences have allowed her
to gain a stronger insight into the ‘workings’
of the horse and can therefore adjust her treatments of massage
therapy to better suit the horse and the prevailing condition.
