Meet your Equine Therapist
Hey, I'm Marissa!
The feeling of strength and freedom while riding any horse is unmatched, but there is something extra special about the equine athlete.
The strength of their body.
Their hearts of gold.
The way they rise to the occasion, work so hard, yet ask for nothing in return compared to the demands put upon them.
​
I began Apex as a way to help repay these amazing creatures for all they do towards helping equestrians reach their dreams.
My experience in a wide variety of barns and equine settings, in addition to working as an animal physiotherapist at a veterinarian rehab clinic, have given me a well-rounded knowledge and approach to horses and what it takes to help them thrive.
​
I believe to do better by the horse requires ongoing learning, and I am continually expanding my education to best serve our equine athletes.
​
I'd love to connect and learn more about you! Please shoot me a quick message and tell me a little bit about your horse and your big equestrian goals!
