Testimonials

Thunder and I have been working with Krystal for a few years now. Thanks to her attention on wellness and biomechanics in both horse and rider, and her extensive background in body work, we have been on a journey to rehab Thunder's significant body compensation patterns from an old injury, and work through his fears and shut downs from his difficult past.

Especially with him, it wasn't always easy for me to know what was and what wasn't pain related, so it was a great relief that Krystal could evaluate and provide body work where necessary. While building up Thunder's back, Krystal and I also focused on my body, which led to many lightbulb moments for me. Krystal coached me on simple, daily exercises that have made a positive impact in my riding and my daily life.

Both Thunder and I feel safe to try our best and make mistakes with Krystal. She is always patient and provides helpful explanations. No matter what difficulties we throw at her, whether it is my hypermobile body or Thunder revealing another onion layer, Krystal can always think of an approach or exercise that can propel us forward.

If you value horse-centred practices and wish to foster your partnership, learn to ride your horse with subtle body cues and imagery, and aren't afraid to take the scenic route, she is the coach for you.

For the Love of Jager

Brief history on Jager, a 12-year-old Quarter Horse:

• Many serious colics
• Bowed tendon
• Bad quarter crack that will never heal, which led to poor conformation
• Constant lameness
• Girthy, biting, and untouchable—would cow kick when I went near his back end

I tried many things over the 6 years of owning him—massage, Bowen, PEMF, laser, red light, muds, etc. I am not saying they didn’t help, but when Krystal started working on Jager, I felt a piece of hope that she would help him… and she did.

I am now riding this beautiful boy who has become the sweetest, kind horse. Krystal has a gentle approach that is truly effective.

I would highly recommend Krystal for craniosacral treatments. Maintenance is key to a healthy horse.

My family got into the horse world and quickly realized it was a drastically different experience than we had anticipated. Over time, we began to understand that there are many effective ways to engage with a horse—and many that can negatively affect their performance, health, behavior, and longevity. We learned that each horse is as individual as a human, and their trust and well-being depend heavily on us as their protector, provider, and partner.

When we first contacted Krystal, we were looking for help with topline and bodywork for our horse, Cannon. We knew there were issues with her balance and conformation, but we didn’t know where to begin. Cannon had only recently been started under saddle and was struggling—showing signs of discomfort and unpredictable behavior. We assumed it was saddle fit. A vet assessment ruled out ulcers, spinal issues, and other obvious causes, leaving us without answers.

Krystal uncovered much more. She identified deeper, underlying issues that were likely present long before we owned Cannon. Not only did she treat her, but she also taught us how to help—how to release tension, recognize discomfort, and guide Cannon to move in ways that supported her own body.

The results went far beyond physical improvement. The work strengthened our relationship and changed how we understood her. Cannon went from a horse who would take off when mounted to one who is willing, calm, and genuinely comfortable in her work. We learned how to read her body language and communicate in a way she could understand.

The horse world is so much more than getting a horse to do what you want. Krystal showed us that when you listen to your horse, you don’t just gain performance—you build a healthy, lasting partnership.

We are incredibly grateful for everything Krystal has done for Cannon, and we know she will remain part of our journey moving forward.
