THE BALANCED STRIDE

Equine Rehab & bodywork
Based in North Dakota 

Improving the comfort, performance, and overall well being of your equine partner through conditioning and rehab with the assistance of massage, craniosacral therapy, and kinesiology taping. 

Horses are Athletes Too

 Their strength, power, and agility in the arena depends on their physical capabilities to perform. 

Equine water therapy alongside massage and related therapeutic modalities enhances muscle function, increased range of motion, prevents injury, and speeds up recovery. Balanced Stride Equine Services uses a balanced, wholistic approach to equine bodywork to improve performance and increase longevity for your rodeo partner. 


I'm Catelyn

Growing up in the western riding industry attending rodeos and horse shows, I know firsthand how important it is for equine athletes to feel and perform at their best. Just like us riders, horses who consistently train and compete often come up with sore muscles, joint issues, and increased stress. The painful symptoms horses feel as a result are often mistaken for behavioral issues.

I want to be the voice and a helping hand to the owners who are struggling and unsure what to do. 

Let’s work together to find and evaluate the root cause of your horse’s discomfort and help them make strides towards pain-free performance through massage and bodywork.
