Tryon Equine Bodywork Reviews

Shell worked with my mare in a way that honored her as an individual and took the time to go at the pace and the pressure she needed. Not only that but my mare improved greatly with noticeably less tension and restriction in her movements and her body. I am so grateful for the work she has done for us and will continue to have her out for maintenance!

Thank you so much! Deliliah is amazing to work with and she gives such great feedback. Love this little mare.

I don’t even have words to explain how much better my horse feels. She finds all the issues and somehow goes point by point and fixes it. Incredible.

I don’t understand what she does, I’m just glad she is able to do it. My mare hates everyone, and Shell touches her and it’s like magic happens.

Ever had that moment where you swear your horse “just feels off” but every time you call the vet your flexions tests and other diagnostic tools make you feel as if you are chasing a ghost of a lameness? If so, you need Shell with Tryon Equine Bodywork. Before Shell, I considered body work as a “TLC” treatment, not something essential to my athletic partners. Tryon Equine and Bodywork is so much more than that. Shell’s intuition and connection with horses allow a horse to release and relax, as well as pinpoint not just lameness but soreness or tension in other areas. The benefit of Tryon Equine Bodywork is shown as your horse’s lameness is tracked and rated per appointment. I have witnessed this help with diagnostic work with my vet when the appointment I have been waiting on finally comes around. Financially, it limits the amount of imaging and rule outs. What I love about it even more is that it is collaborative care. Tryon Equine Bodywork is not a replacement for a veterinarian, but an additional treatment to assist your horse. This has been so valuable to me, my veterinarians, and my trainer. Shell has been useful in also allowing my mare to increase her training and move up as her soreness associated with harder work is addressed instead of “just dealing with it.” In turn- I have a horse who isn’t compensating and willing to do more. I have watched Shell handle my most dramatic horse who basically screams “it all hurts!” and a slight soreness it the end of the world to my most stoic mare who could probably walk sound even if you chopped her leg off. Tryon Equine Bodywork has helped my hardest horses on both ends of the spectrum. This is some of the most essential treatments everyone needs for their horse.

Thank you so much for this most amazing review! I tell you there is something about this line of work that just syncs your soul up temporarily with a horse to connect and give them relief. The proof is in the pudding, and there is zero denying the effectiveness. I really thrive on the tough ones like Torvi. She had me scratching my head at first, but now she really willingly participates. Ms. Josie, what a nice vibe on her! I love working on both of them and thank you for letting me be part of your care team! Shell

The changes I saw take place so quickly made me a believer! Highly recommend her…don’t be frustrated & waste time on your own when she can get to the root of the issue so quickly!

My mare was carrying a lot of tension and stiffness. Visibly relaxed and lost tension during her sessions with Shell.

Shell does an amazing job of reading my horses and knowing what is holding tension. I can watch them really relax when she works on them! They’re a lot more relaxed and soft after our sessions!
