Welcome!

Thank you for shopping on line with Women & Horses™! First of all I would like for you to consider an amazing essential oil blend for your horse. This will help you tremendously throughout the year. The InBalance Horse is a 2 oz. blend of oils created by aromatherapist Lucia Fox to my specifications for what is needed for horses during stress-related activities, rehabilitation time, grooming and tacking up time, or just before exercise to give the horse mental, emotional and physical relaxation, focus and clarity.

I have been using The InBalance Horse for over a year now and I use it every time I am with my horse. I store it in my grooming kit as a part of my grooming regimen. I simply take a damp cloth and wipe out my horse's nostrils clearing out any dirt or crud, apply a few drops of the oil blend into the palm of my hand, rub my hands together, then rub my hands around my horse's nostrils and muzzle. You can also perform mouth massage with the oils on your hands. My horse loves it! You will see a shift in your horse's behavior within seconds. They are relieved and happy and at peace as you start getting them ready for work.

I have also been using The InBalance Horse at all of my clinics and demonstrations with great success. I have not found one horse yet that did not benefit from the aromatherapy it provides. It is an amazing tool for you to have and your horse will love you for it.

The InBalance Horse oil blend works in many ways. First, the aromatherapy from the oil ingredients filter up through the nasal cavity directly into the brain and begin a positive shift. Secondly, the oils work through the skin and into the blood stream bringing herbal healing qualities to all of the body systems. A third benefit, The InBalance Horse has a natural insecticide in it to help you out in the hot weather months. And finally, if you find your horse has a swelling or sore spot, rub some of the oil blend on your hands and massage it into the affected area. It immediately starts working in through the skin and into the blood supply to help heal and relieve pain.

The InBalance Horse is beautifully and safely packaged for you to store or give as a gift.

Now a product just for you! The Dynamic Rider System® (DRS) brings together exercises, biomechanics and the Pilates Method specially designed to fit the needs of all female equestrians. The DRS applies to all styles, breeds and disciplines of horse riding and driving.

Maggie Parker, certified Pilates Instructor and lifetime horseperson, and I have worked together for over three years and agree that we all need detailed and succinct information for riding comfortably, effectively and safely. The DRS provides two sections addressing body movement, saddle fit and body stabilization as it applies to riding.

The first installment of the DRS is called "Finding Your Foundation: Insert 1" and it is now available here on the website. For $17.95 you will receive: cover artwork for a binder, Introduction to the DRS and Pilates Method, Finding Your Foundation Introduction, Female Equestrian Biomechanics Diagram, Equipment You Will Need and a 4-color, coated, 2-sided fold out pamphlet with illustrations and descriptions of valuable exercises to assist you in becoming aware of your body and balance. You may use your own binder or purchase one from us for $10.00.

The second part in the DRS series, "Insert 2: Exercises for Functional Core" is available here on the website for $13.95 plus shipping and handling.

Insert 2 transitions from the foundation to the functional core, providing the user with the basics of what a functional core consists of in easy to understand language. The insert comes with simple uncomplicated anatomical illustrations of the abdominal muscles used in riding to help the rider understand their own body better plus a full-color, fold out instructional exercise pamphlet. The easy to follow exercises are designed to create more core awareness and strengthen this very important area while also disposing of muscle actions that have been contributing to non-efficient patterns of movement.

This is a unique program fully integrating the nationally acclaimed Pilates Method with effective riding specifically for women. This is a total exercise and biomechanical solution that will enable female equestrians to achieve better form, function and comfort with their horses.
