“I have seen Nicole's therapy work absolute miracles on some of my patients!”
- Dr. Michelle Burton, Veterinarian
Abby Crain and Tahoe
"Hey Nicole! I just wanted to say thank you! Just take at look at my boy after his session with you! This was his work on the line..... and when I tell he has never moved this freely at the beginning of trot work, I mean NEVER!!! You can see his entire back muscles working! He literally never wants to do that on his own! I'm so happy (kinda kicking myself for not doing this sooner) and I know he's feeling amazing! Thank you! I adore the work you do! And I love seeing other people get their horses help too!"
Gwen Bozeman and Santingo Z
Tango sees Nicole on a regular basis to keep him feeling his very best! We have benefitted greatly from her help! We had a very successful show season, finishing as Year End Equitation Champions and second overall in our Hunter Division for our local show circuit! Nicole does amazing work, and she truly cares about her clients!

A big thank you to Nicole of EquiZen Horse Therapies for always making my dressage horses feel their best and perform at the top of their sport. I highly recommend Nicole for acupressure and bodywork. Nicole also works on my clients' horses, and they always feel fantastic after their massages. We've even invited Nicole to come to Wellington with us 2 years in a row to work on our horses at the Global Dressage Festival during the winter show season. I highly recommend Nicole for massage and acupressure for your horses. She does a terrific job and really goes the extra mile for your horse.
Bri Manning and Adrenaline Rush
So today was my first real ride on Apollo since you worked on him and he was AMAZING!! The first few trot steps he took warming up..... I was just
like WOW. I looked over at my trainer and said "I love Nicole!" So justwanted to say a BIG thank you and you really do have the magic touch!"
Sarah Chiodi and Beneo
"I cannot thank Nicole with EquiZen enough for her amazing services that she was able to provide me prior to showing. I saw a huge improvement and can definitely attribute it to the success I had in the show ring, earning
my Bronze Medal in Dressage. Many thanks to Nicole and I look forward to using her services in the future. Highly recommend getting your horse in touch with EquiZen. Thanks Nicole!"

"I started using Nicole to keep my horses feeing their best. I’ve been amazed at the results I’ve seen after using her services. My horses are performing better than ever and happier in their jobs. They definitely let
me know when it’s time for a visit! Nicole is always willing to work on a particular issue and help them with their long term fitness and well-being. Can’t recommend her enough!"

Nicole Watts with EquiZen Therapies entered our world in 2016. In a short period of time we knew Nicole and her methods were the right fit for our horses and their individualized programs. Being a multifaceted facility means that each of our horses works in a different way from nutrition to their daily training. Nicole has picked up on the nuances of what these equine athletes are experiencing throughout their bodies. Her acupressure tells a story with each session, and we are quickly able to access what we can change to make our horses perform comfortably at their best. We are THRILLED with her results and the time she takes with each horse and our clients.
Johanna Fowler and Solomon
I have found that Nicole's therapy works far better than any veterinary treatment I've had performed on my horse, and it is much more affordable! My horse's back is no longer sore and he is easier to ride. We are now moving up the levels in Dressage, and it is thanks to Nicole's careful management of my horse's muscles and development. We went from scoring in the mid-50's to scoring in the mid-70's, and I give Nicole a huge amount of credit for my horse's success. Having her work on him before and after every show keeps him loose and happy. EquiZen therapy is a vital part of our overall training program. Thank you so much.
Meg Suffling and Gettysburg
My Oldenburg gelding Gettysburg competes at the Intermediare Level in Dressage. I called Nicole to work on him when he felt "stuck" and didn't want to go forward. After his first session with Nicole, he felt super. Very loose, springy and elastic, and was willing to do forward work. He was also more sweet and loving. I recommend Nicole to others and can't wait to have her work on my horse again!
Eric Dierks
Taking the horse out of their natural environment and asking them to use their body in an excessive way to be an elite athlete has always been a concern of mine. Especially without a voice, the horse can easily be taken for granted as we push for some lofty goals. Nicole Watts of EquiZen Horse Therapies has an innate way of working with horses and people, being the horse's voice, toward making them feel better inside and out and also helping us understand the meridians beyond performance. Thank you Nicole for sharing your talent, craft and education in helping our horses at Renovatio Farm be the best athletes they can be.
Cyndy Mulligan and Watermark
Watermark is a 4 year old Hanoverian mare. She had been really out of sorts all summer while experiencing a large amount of growth and also starting her heat cycles. After just 2 sessions with Nicole, she is feeling great! I am so glad she is feeling stronger and back to her forward, sweet and kind-hearted self again. Her gaits are now the prettiest they have ever been. I know Nicole's work has helped my horse immensely, and I appreciate her being available to work on Watermark when I need her. I am so glad we met Nicole and I am excited to have her as part of our future.
Harriet Morton at Cricket Hollow Stables
I have tried several forms of holistic therapy on my horses, including acupuncture, chiropractic and massage from other practitioners. Nicole's acupressure and massage work has been far more beneficial to my horses than any other modality I have tried. And best of all, Nicole's prices are affordable! I have been using Nicole's services for 12 years now; she works on our Hunters, Jumpers, Big Eq Horses, youngsters and old schoolmasters. I can say that Nicole is absolutely the BEST at what she does.
Johanna Amerson and Stones Throw
I ride my horse in the Grand Prix Jumpers. Nicole's massage work keeps him 100% on his game, which is imperative in competition. His muscles are never sore or tired after a big show.
Martin Michaels and Storm Trooper
Nicole does an excellent job keeping my dressage horses in top condition. Acupressure and massage are always a regular part of every horse's routine here in Europe. I was grateful to find Nicole to work on my horses here. Her therapy helps to keep them soft and supple for training and for the show ring. Nicole is very knowledgeable, and her energy and enthusiasm are contagious. I highly recommend her services.
Susan Springman and Boston
The work that Nicole has done on Boston is absolutely amazing! He is completely pain-free, without the need for drugs or injections. The bodywork she does on him keeps him loose, focused, and winning out in the ring. Nicole is honest and affordable, and she can work on your horse either at your barn or at the showgrounds.
Sabrina Forbes-Torr and McLovin
McLovin is a 9 year old Oldenburg gelding, and when I got him I knew what I was getting into. He was very sore and short striding on the back left leg. I went through joint injections, acupuncture, Adequan, etc and he was still not 100%. I was never able to get lead changes with him either. After Nicole's work he is more balanced, and I'm getting consistent lead changes as well!
Pat Herrick and Gunther
First off I will say I was skeptical that EquiZen would have any impact on my horse. My horse is large - so how much could a human applying targeted acupressure and massage actually do? Well..... my horse loved the whole experience. He was so relaxed and focused into what Nicole was doing. Typically he is a worrier and I could see his eyes getting softer as she worked. Without any prompting, Nicole identified specific problem areas that corresponded to issues I feel when riding him. Really, the proof is in the riding so to speak..... so I was anxious to see if I felt a difference under saddle - and I did!! He moved much more freely, and his stiffness bending left was greatly improved! His overall demeanor seemed brighter and happier. Thank you Nicole!
Kim Phillips and Simply Dashing
My poor horse Dash was driving me crazy. He had a hoof abscess that took 4 months to heal. He was lame and would not put weight on that hoof. He also had edema covering most of his body, and his sheath was swollen. I felt sure that he had physical pain somewhere, because he showed alot of aggression even when just being touched. He would swish his tail violently, pin his ears, and even tried to bite. He used to be the in your pocket lovable guy, so this was extremely frustrating for me. I was at the end of my rope. He also did not want to work. He would not go forward under saddle; he would buck, hollow his back, and it felt like I was riding two different horses at once.
After just 3 sessions with Nicole, I HAD MY HORSE BACK!!!!!! He's back to normal and good as gold. He's definitely feeling better and is a complete 180 from how he was! Nicole, you have done an amazing job with him! Thank you so much for helping him! If I ever come across anyone needing your expertise I will highly recommend you!
Dee McMaster and Duncan
We are thrilled with Nicole's sessions. Our horses definitely enjoy it! They are always soft as butter when they are ridden the next day! It's amazing! We also enjoyed the educational presentation Nicole did at our farm to educate our clients about performance therapy!
Karen McNalley and Snow Bird
Nicole is the only practitioner who has been able to truly make a difference in our horses' health and performance. We use her acupressure and massage sessions and feed her flower essences and herbal supplements to our horses. Nicole is well-educated, enthusiastic, dedicated and reliable. We would strongly recommend her services to any horse owner!
