We met some absolutely gorgeous horses today, and then we met Kevin.

Somehow, Kevin stole the show.

The carotid arteries carry blood from the heart to the brain. If blood flow is restricted—because of misalignment, compression, or other issues—the brain may not get enough oxygen and nutrients.

Key Arteries:
•Internal carotid artery (ICA): feeds the brain and pituitary gland
•External carotid artery (ECA): feeds the face, jaw, and other head structures

They supply:
•Cerebrum: thinking, behavior, movement planning
•Cerebellum: balance and coordination
•Brainstem: breathing, heart rate, automatic body functions

Signs Something’s Off
Horses with restricted blood flow may show:
•Spookiness or subtle behavior changes
•Poor coordination or clumsiness
•Digestive or metabolic problems
•Panic responses or shutdown

Why the Pituitary is Important
The pituitary gland controls most of the body’s hormones. If it doesn’t get enough blood, it can’t work properly, leading to:
•Hormone imbalances
•Stress overload
•Metabolism issues
•Poor coat, temperature, and water balance
•Behavioral changes

Common Causes
•Misaligned bones or trauma
•Dental problems
•Calcified arteries
•Nutritional deficiencies
•Poor riding or training

Our Approach
We don’t just treat symptoms. We look at the whole horse—body, nervous system, viscera, fascia, cranial sacral and overall physiology—to restore blood flow, balance, and health.

Here, Christina is assessing spinal and rib mobility to evaluate the movement and function of each individual segment. What makes this work so fascinating is that what we feel through the body externally reflects what is occurring internally within the pelvic, abdominal, and thoracic cavities.

Many people assess the horse only from a musculoskeletal perspective. However, by understanding the body osteopathically, we can recognize patterns that narrow down deeper visceral or functional imbalances contributing to discomfort, compensation, or performance limitations.

Do you have a horse that constantly needs help or “adjustment” in the same areas? When the underlying cause inside the body remains unaddressed, compensatory and decompensatory patterns often continue to repeat themselves externally.

The body is truly fascinating.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐞…

Deep within the horse’s skull sits a structure so central, so quietly influential, that once you truly see its role—you can’t unsee it.

The sphenoid… often called “the butterfly bone,” a name linked to William Sutherland’s early cranial osteopathic work in the early 1900s. A bone like a bridge between systems, relationships, and motion.

This is not just anatomy in isolation.

It is connection.

Hidden within the core of the skull, the sphenoid sits in relationship with nearly every cranial structure... articulating with 12 cranial bones... helping coordinate balance, symmetry, jaw function, and the subtle motion of the head as an integrated system.

Within its structure are many openings called foramina (small passageways that allow critical nerves and blood vessels to enter and exit). Among them is the pathway associated with the optic nerve, directly linking to vision itself. These are not incidental details; they are reminders of how densely interconnected this region is.

When a structure like the sphenoid moves, rotates, or is restricted, it is reasonable to appreciate that even subtle shifts in its relationships could influence the function of nearby neural and vascular pathways within the cranium.

And when you begin to appreciate that… something shifts.

Because the horse does not separate the skull from the body.
Or the jaw from the spine.
Or the teeth from the way the whole system organizes itself.

It is all communication.

The sphenoid becomes a key point in that conversation... its position and relationships influencing cranial alignment, TMJ balance, tongue and hyoid function, cervical posture, and the deeper patterns of tension and adaptation that travel beyond the head.

On its inferior surface sits a small, saddle-shaped depression called the sella turcica (Latin for “Turkish saddle”). A remarkably fitting image in equine anatomy. This structure houses the pituitary gland, a central regulator of endocrine signaling.

The pituitary acts as a messenger interface between the brain and the rest of the body, helping regulate hormone production across multiple systems. In particular, the anterior pituitary releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which signals the adrenal glands to produce cortisol... a key hormone involved in metabolism, stress response, growth, and body composition.

This is where the “lightbulb moment” happens.

When we realize that what presents as a localized issue (such as dental imbalance or asymmetry) may in fact be part of a wider network of cranial relationships, adaptive processes, and regulatory function.

Suddenly, the horse is no longer seen in pieces.
But as one continuous, intelligent, compensating whole.

And dentistry becomes something more than maintenance of enamel.

It becomes an opportunity to observe function.
To recognize compensation.
To understand how structure and system are constantly negotiating balance.

When the sphenoid is understood in this way, it changes how we look at the horse entirely.

Because sometimes the most important structures are not the ones you see first…

They are the ones everything else is listening to.

𝘿𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙩?

This is how we evaluate the ENTIRE body — from nose to teeth, hoof to tail.

𝙄𝙛 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙.

That applies to every system in the body — muscles, ligaments, fascia, joints, organs, fluids, nerves, tissues and even at the cellular level.

The body is designed for motion, adaptation and balance.

Our focus is identifying areas of restriction, compensation and loss of mobility — then helping restore normal movement and communication throughout the body.

Suppressing a symptom or reaction may temporarily quiet the body, but it does not address why the dysfunction developed in the first place.

The body is constantly attempting to maintain balance and adaptability (homeostasis). When mobility is lost, compensation patterns begin. Over time, those compensations can affect far more than the original area involved.

Considering all aspects of the horse and its environment, our goal is to support the body in doing what it was inherently designed to do.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞?

We worked with an 11-year-old mare whose owner had us out for dental work. The mare presented with girthiness, hormonal and often kicked out with her right hind leg under saddle.

Assessment:
Our assessment revealed multiple mobility restrictions, most notably pointing to the right o***y, with a corresponding restriction pattern in the mandible, spine, and limbs. A dental check also showed imbalances in the teeth, TMJ, and cervical spine.

Initial Approach:
We addressed nutrition, body balance, and overall function. Early improvements were seen, but the ovarian restriction persisted at the second visit. Because of this, we held off on dental corrections, recognizing the teeth were not the primary “cause.”

Breakthrough:
After the ovarian restriction was resolved, changes implemented and allowed time for the body to integrate. We reassessed the mouth. By the third visit, the only dental adjustment needed was a few light swipes to the lower left incisors, a dramatic shift from the original imbalances. Restoring mobility in the pelvic region allowed the interconnected systems of the body to release and hold changes. This enabled the horse to function better and naturally correct some dental imbalances.

Takeaway:
When the true cause is addressed, the body often restores balance on its own. This prevents premature or unnecessary interventions and supports long-term health, comfort, and performance.

This mare’s case highlights the deep interconnectedness of the body, and the reward of supporting a horse’s natural ability to heal and thrive.

Bullying in the equine industry isn’t talked about enough. It shows up in many forms, often leaving an undercurrent of fear: fear of how you or your horse may be treated, fear of slander, or fear of losing connections and opportunities you’ve worked hard to build.

But it shouldn’t be this way.

The turning point often comes when you start asking questions, trusting your instincts, listening to your horse, or seeking new knowledge or professionals. That’s when pushback begins.

Groupthink can be powerful, and suddenly, you may feel pressure to conform to barn culture, social norms, or the “way things have always been done”—even when it doesn’t serve you or your horse.

Authoritative influence plays a big role here: an awarded rider, popular trainer, or titled professional can shape what’s considered “right,” leaving little room for your own judgment or autonomy.

As adults, we’re often harder on ourselves. Sometimes, we stay in toxic circles longer than we should. But growth means learning, unlearning, and moving forward—even when it’s painful. Realizing the community around you isn’t what you thought can feel heartbreaking. Yet we carry a responsibility: not just to ourselves, but most importantly to our horses. If we don’t stand up for them, who will?

Maybe you’ve seen or realize unfair training or riding, harsh instruction, a poor environment, or care practices—like hoof balance or diet—that need change. Moving on isn’t easy, especially when others resist open, civil discussion. But the horse’s welfare must always come first.

This journey is lifelong. New facts, ideas, and perspectives can feel overwhelming. Many of us have thought: “I believed I was already doing my best.” That feeling is universal—and it’s okay.

What matters is building an open, supportive community where both horses and humans can thrive.

Standing up for yourself and your horse isn’t always easy. But it’s always the right thing to do. It will filter out what isn't aligned with your journey.

Your horse will thank you—and your heart will be at peace.

The impacts of over floating create havoc, not only in the mouth, but throughout the head, neck, and entire body.

For example:
Imagine if too much tooth was removed from your molars (which is extremely common in horses). The molars would no longer meet properly. How would you feel if someone filed your molars down too far? What compensations would your TMJ make? And how would that affect every joint in your head and neck?

At the very least... you’d have a headache.

Now ask yourself:
How many horses do you know with sensitivities at the poll?

Our goal is to change the paradigm of equine dentistry, for the horse’s sake.

With over eight years of formal education, our dentist understands full-body mobility and its relationship to dental balance. This allows the teeth to be approached very differently than modern, reduction-based dentistry. The focus is not on removing tooth, but on preserving balance, function, and integrity.

Each horse is viewed as an individual. Through an osteopathic lens, we aim to preserve dignity, improve mobility, and support the horse’s natural ability to self-maintain, as they were designed to do.

And yes, horses are meant to do that… if we allow them.

We offer:
Equine Osteopathic Dentistry
Consultations
Complex and difficult cases
Routine dental care

Equine Visceral Osteopathy
Equine Osteopathic Podiatry
Nutrition & Diet Consultations
Riding, Training & Behavior Assessments

As appropriate changes are made and the horse regains balance, many clients find they actually save money over time, because their horse maintains themselves more effectively.

Interested in Equine Osteopathic Dentistry, consultation, or care?

Reach out, we’d love to work with you.
