Hello, I’m Marissa, the founder and sole practitioner behind Smooth Moving Equine LLC. My journey with horses began at a young age through my involvement in 4-H, where I gained hands-on experience across different disciplines. This allowed me to build a solid foundation of knowledge and a deep understanding of the diverse needs of horses.

Along the way, I also gained experience training horses, which has further expanded my appreciation for how important proper care and comfort are to a horse’s overall well-being. This background, combined with my training in equine massage therapy, fuels my passion for helping horses stay healthy, balanced, and pain-free.

I received my professional training in equine massage and structural integration from the Equine Natural Movement School, where I completed an in-depth program focused on holistic, hands-on techniques for improving equine comfort, mobility, and performance. After graduating, I successfully passed the National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure and Massage (NBCAAM) exam, earning my national board certification. I operate as a licensed LLC. and carry full professional liability insurance to ensure the highest level of service and accountability for my clients.

I’m also currently in the process of earning my saddle fitting certification, furthering my commitment to providing a holistic approach to horse care. Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, maintaining peak performance, or simply in need of relaxation, I take pride in offering treatments that are personalized to fit their unique needs.

My goal is to ensure every horse I work with feels their best—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and I’m excited to help you and your horse achieve that.
