Carrie Thorne, ESMT
Carrie Thorne is a trained and certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist who has been practicing since 2006. In addition to massage, Carrie specializes in Equine Biomechanics including evaluating gate abnormalities, saddle fit evaluation, and developing stretching and isometric exercise programs to help advance your horses performance.
Carrie uses several massage techniques to identify areas of reactivity or spasm and to treat these areas helping the muscle release and return to a more flexible and comfortable state. Carrie works with other professionals including veterinarians, farriers, chiropractors, saddle fitters, and trainers to help identify and address issues with your horses performance and comfort. Having a 'team' approach to your horses soundness is part of what Carrie believes in, and enjoys being a part of.
Carrie has a wide variety of equine clients and believes that Massage Therapy can be beneficial to any type of horse in any discipline. Carrie has a very patient manner and takes time to explain to the owner and/or trainer what she is finding when working on your horse. Carrie will show you how you can help your horse between massages, and encourages owners/riders to implement a stretching program for their equine partner.
Carrie currently rides dressage with FEI Trainer Ruth Hill-Schorsch of Stapleton Farm, and has a background in Pony Club and eventing. Carrie's passion for horses and improving their soundness and comfort is woven through everything she does; from her rehabilitation work at her farm to her dedication to her equine massage clients. This is evidenced through her many long time clients ranging from trainers involved in several different competitive disciplines to owners of retired horses and everything in between.
