"Lisa is absolutely Amazing!!!!! My horse has done a complete 360 from when I first started working with her. I was having so many issues with being able to ride my horse, and thought it as my lack of knowledge and his bad behavior, I had no idea the pain my horse was in, and with her massage work and her guidance and her advice with other directions. I can honestly say that both my horse and I are an amazing pair. I highly recommend her to anyone who I discuss horses with, and I literally thank her everyday for her knowledge and what she has done for us."

"Competitive barrel racing can be rigorous on a horses mind & body. Lisa Dunston was introduced to the Rapp family in 2013 and has aided in keeping our athletes calm, agile and competitive in our sport. After Lisa’s first visit to the barn we noticed an improvement in the horse’s performance, increased mobility and range of motion, and fluidity with their stops. To maintain this improvement, Lisa’s shared a wealth of knowledge on maintaining our horses between visits through stretching and exercise. Lisa and her skills will be forever in our routine. With regular chiropractic appointments in conjunction with Lisa’s massage therapy, we are proud to say our horses run on heart."

"Lisa is true horse person. She puts her heart and soul into your horse. She knows quickly where your horse needs work, what the problem is, and how to address it. Lisa has a very good relationship with the vet and farrier. She communicates with them both after working on your horse to let them know what her concerns are. It is due to this communication and relationship that a potential issue is resolved before it fully arises. Lisa has a gift. She loves what she does and truly cares. We are lucky to have her."

"My horse and I love Lisa, she has been massaging her for 8+ years ! Her love of horses combined with her amazing massage abilities makes for a great experience for both horse and owner. Lisa is always willing and able to answer questions and patiently shows you and explains any stretches or techniques that can be done in between massages. My horse always responds well to Lisa's massages and feels so much more relaxed and loosened after her massage."

"I can't say enough good things about Lisa and her magic hands. I have a 23 year old OTTB who has been battling hoof pain, and the associated full body tenseness and soreness, since losing our fabulous farrier 2 years ago. Lisa has kept him as loose and comfortable as possible while we try to find a replacement who will keep his toes and heels where they should be. She is so patient and isn't fazed by any bad behavior - my boy gets very studdy when in pain and will try to bite right before a knot releases. Lisa takes it all in stride, gives him a minute if he needs it, and then goes right back to work. She takes as long as necessary, which I love - there's no "well your hour's up, I'll have to come back" - if he needs more than an hour, he gets it. His movement always improves after a session and his chronic areas of neck and shoulders are always more mobile. Lisa is also very generous with her knowledge and always shows things to do between visits to keep him loose. I really don't know how I'd keep my boy comfortable without her." -Stephanie C. dressage
"Having leased a thorughbred with a past cervical fracture, I was looking for ideas that would help him with his neck but also with the resulting issues from the fracture. Lisa was able to assess where he was and formulate a plan integrating massage along with chiropractic care (not preformed by Lisa). The benefits . . .a more comfortable horse that functioned better and a happier rider."

"We all want our horses to be happy and feel good. Lisa provides that for my horse with her massage. She is knowledgeable and compassionate and gives 100% of herself towards making my horse feel better. We are very satisfied with her services and would gladly recommend Lisa."

"Lisa is not your average equine massage therapist, the time she spends assessing your horse and targeting each of its problem areas with a fix that is much stronger than simply massaging the muscle is what sets her apart. I see an immediate differences in all of my horses. They have freer movement and generally better attitudes. I highly recommend Lisa to every horse owner, even if they do not think their horse needs work done because I know they will be amazed at the difference and will see how much more comfortable your horse is."

"Aiden loves his massages! You can see his body relax during a session, and they have really helped him relax through his back. He had a lot of back tension from an old saddle that did not fit right. Within a few sessions Lisa was able to relieve pain that was caused from the old saddle. Even with a correctly fitting saddle we continue to use Lisa."
