About Allie & Rudy
ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Allie, a 17 year old homeschooled student from Springfield, Illinois. My horse journey began at 12 years old when I rode Sam, a trail horse in Wisconsin...and I did not want to get off! My journey continued with Lance, Classy, Spice, & Duke until I knew that the equine world held my heart. I love all disciplines but I particularly love getting out on the trail and just enjoying the quiet of nature with my horse! I began my Massage Therapy journey as my focus of study my Sophomore Year, and am excited to bring massage to your barn, and to learn from you as well! We can all learn something new every day to benefit our equine partners!
MY BEST FRIEND
Point Me to Chocolat (AQHA) and I became a team in 2021, after a long search for the perfect fit. He has been my greatest teacher ever since. Rudy is descended from Nasrullah and Zips Chocolate Chip and loves to go FAST, just like his famous cousin, Secretariat!
OUR JOURNEY
Rudy came to me after 2 years lounging in the pasture. We spent a lot of time getting to know one another, building our bond, and refreshing his training using natural horsemanship methods with the ultimate goal of a Liberty Partnership. We still take lessons every week at Riverside Stables, our home barn! We love working together to make us both better! He LOVES his massage days, and we are making progress on a stiff and tender back leg!
Massage Therapy
When considering an equine career, I was drawn to Massage Therapy because I could see the benefit to the horse. So much of what we do in the equestrian world is for the benefit of the human...riding, ranch work, sporting, companionship...that I was particularly fond of the idea of being able to give something of benefit back to the horses. Seeing their releases tells me that they enjoy their massage time and feel relaxed during their treatment.
