Helping horses move freely and comfortably, so you can ride with confidence.

Support for horses with pain, movement dysfunctions, or poor posture. Keep your horse strong and ready for any challenge!

You don't have to be injured to benefit from physical therapy.

 

Most people think of PT as something you do after surgery or a serious injury. But movement dysfunction usually shows up long before pain does, in a hitch in your horse's stride that everyone's used to, a hollow back you've stopped noticing, a saddle that always seems to slip the same direction.

These aren't quirks. They're patterns, and patterns are exactly what physical therapy is built to find and change.

 

For your horse, that might look like:

  • Subtle unevenness that's never been "lame enough" to investigate

  • Reluctance to pick up one lead, or stiffness bending one direction

  • Muscle asymmetry you can see in photos but can't explain

  • A horse who's sound on the vet exam but still doesn't feel right under saddle

  • A saddle that always seems to slip the same direction, no matter how it's fitted

 

For you, that might look like:

  • Lower back pain that flares after long rides

  • A stirrup that always feels lower on one side, no matter how many times you adjust it

  • Hip or shoulder tightness that's quietly shaping how you sit

  • Old injuries that never quite resolved, just got worked around

  • Wanting to ride better and longer without your body limiting you first

 

Veterinary care answers "is something wrong?" Physical therapy answers "how is this body moving, and how could it move better?"

Not sure if any of this applies to you or your horse? Grab the free Ride Readiness Checklist and start noticing the early clues yourself.

Based in Snowmass, I regularly travel throughout the Roaring Fork Valley (Aspen to Glenwood Springs) and make routine trips to the Denver metro area and surrounds.

 

Outside that range? Reach out, I may still be able to make it work.

"Gwynne does incredible work! I realized I could really use some help after my 20yr old Morgan suffered a stifle injury, although it was acute I want to do what I can to keep him healthy and sound through his senior years. Gwynne was able to assess where he is lacking in strength and give me exercises and stretches in order to help build up those muscles and honestly he really enjoys them! I look forward to making progress with Zorro and can’t recommend Forge On PT enough!"

Physical therapy isn’t just about injury recovery—it’s about riding stronger, moving better, and enjoying your horse time to the fullest. Whether you’re dealing with pain, stiffness, or an old injury, I can help you and your horse feel and perform your best. Let’s work together to keep you comfortable, balanced, and riding for years to come!

I love my horse
