At Northern Oaks, we realize it takes more than a horse, rider & trainer to accomplish our goals. 
Rather, it takes an entire team of individuals.
Our staff understands the importance of love and compassion when working with and preparing these athletes for success.  We have a well organized team to promote the success of the horses within our program. 
A very special thank you to our team! You make Northern Oaks successful!

SANDI NEAL,
Equine Sports Therapist

Picture
Sandi is an important member of our program, specializing in the physical functionality of our horses.  Sandi is a CERTIFIED EQUINE MASSAGE THERAPIST, a CERTIFIED ANIMAL ADJUSTER, and a CERTIFIED EQUINE CRANIO-SACRAL PRACTITIONER.  Sandi has been successfully balancing our athletes for nearly 10 years now.  Her job allows her to treat horses from all walks of life whether they are top athletes, loving companions, pasture ornaments, or rehabilitation projects.  Time and again, Sandi has found and resolved the issues reputable vets have deemed "un-resolvable".

Sandi is able to produce outstanding, lasting results with her patients because prior to doing any skeletal manipulation on the horse, she relaxes the body thru a FULL BODY SHIATSU MASSAGE.  Sandi has found, once the muscles are relaxed, all that is necessary is a series of stretches.  Not only is this a leisurely "spa session" but it is also highly beneficial to making horses happy, willing, and capable of doing their jobs.

Sandi occasionally offers support to athletes or rehabilitation horses needing additional assistance through the use of technologies such as:

  • Hot/Cold Compression Therapy
  • Centurion Magnetic Pulse Therapy
  • Alphasonic Infra Sound Therapy
  • Equi-Stim Leg Saver Therapy
