Hi, I'm Emma Tanklage, a Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist and lifelong horsewoman. My passion for equine massage therapy is an extension of my love for equestrian sports and the animals I have dedicated my entire life to. My work is rooted in years of hands-on experience in the equestrian world—first as a young girl with a love of show jumping and then as a passionate, young professional. 

​

Before launching my massage practice, I worked as both an assistant trainer and barn manager for a few A-circuit level programs, overseeing the daily care of everything from young show horses to seasoned lesson ponies. I've taught riders of all levels from ages 3 to 70+, maintained training programs, coordinated horse health routines, and worked closely with veterinarians and bodyworkers. 

​

From working with chiropractors and massage therapists, I experienced the many benefits of these services. I witnessed the results in client horses' behavior, balance, health, and performance, which furthered my desire to provide the same services to enhance each horse's well-being. Having spent much time in the saddle and in the ring, I understand the physical demands placed on equine athletes and companions alike. Whether a horse needs targeted support to recover from hard work, maintain soundness through training, or to feel good in their body, I approach each session with patience, attentiveness, and a deep respect for the individual horse.

​

I take pride in offering reliable, organized, and personalized care, building long-term relationships with owners and trainers who value thoughtful, horse-centered support. Communication is at the heart of my work—I want every client to be well-informed and confident in the care their horses receive.​

​

My mission is simple: to help horses feel their best, move their best, and thrive.
