Sara was a tenant on my property and a friend of mine and of my horses for several years. When it comes to equine care, there is no one better. I trusted her completely. Her knowledge of the horse far exceeds what anyone can learn in a class or even with experience; she appears to be almost psychic when is comes to finding out what horses need. I learned from her and I asked for her advice and assistance all the time, whether it was clipping for the first time, treating a wound, or just figuring out what the horse was trying to tell us. My horses responded to her as if she was one of them. When I had to clip my yearling stallion's ears for the first time, he put up a big fight... that is, until I called Sara. She soothed him, talked to him and touched him in just the right way, applying acupressure so that he calmed down immediately, and we could clip him. She is able to "talk" to them somehow, maybe through her touch, her softness and kindness. Her concern for equine welfare is paramount. Her passion is the wellness and the happiness of the horse. And it shows in her whole being and reason for living. Her ways and techniques all stem from love. I was extremely blessed to have Sara watching out for my horses. And I know the horses appreciated this gentle soul in their presence. Pamela Ko, Penngrove, California
I have known Sara for almost 10 years. During that time I have witnessed her working with and around my two horses. Her skill and understanding of equines has left a lasting impression. Sara draws many of her talents from her own equine history, being raised in England and Spain, where she established many personal relationships with a variety of horses. Building upon these natural skills, Sara's later training in equine acupressure has enabled her to work on horses in a very unique and personal way. Sara's touch was most welcome by my arthritic older gelding who recently passed away at the age of 32. My younger Peruvian Paso seems to look forward to her visits (and touch), and whinnies at the gate when Sara arrives.
I strongly recommend the equine acupressure treatment services that Sara provides. The treatment will be beneficial to any horse of any age, regardless of condition.

I contacted Sara because my horse had a very sore back and I felt massage would help her recovery. Upon meeting Sara, my horse and I have been blessed in many ways. Sara is not only an excellent caring practitioner who understands horses personalities and moods, she is also a wonderful instructor and presents a very rewarding clinic.

"Without reservation, I recommend Sara. She is very kind, gentle and skilled at what she does. She has the ability to make the horses submit to her almost immediately after she begins working on them. They are very receptive to her touch and relax and enjoy their massage. Sara devotes all her energy to the horse and will take as much time as she needs to work on the problem that your beloved animal may have even if it takes more than the scheduled hour. My mare had pain and tightness in her back due to four months of hard training and Sara worked it out of her in two sessions. My gelding came to me with a head injury and she has helped me with that also. I won't use anyone else. She is the best!"

"What a magical touch Sara Soldevila has with distressed pets! After painkillers stopped working for my dog's hip dysplasia, only she was able to provide him a few days' of obvious relief. I would not hesitate to ask Sara to treat any pet¡ªhorse, dog, cat, or other animal, who suffers from inordinate pain."
David H., Colonel USAF (Ret) (Mill Valley, California)
"Sara possesses an innate gift for calming and healing animals. Her European upbringing and equine experience lend an Old World charm to her approach. She knows her craft and has a gentle way with horses. My horse showed marked improvement in flexibility and pain relief after a session with Sara, apart from the fact that he just loved it. I highly recommend Sara's healing work to anyone's horse."
