Darlene Latshaw's Grey Mare Health & Wellness, Inc. offers rejuvenation (2)

Details: April 30, 2025; By Staff Writers

Grey Mare Health & Wellness, Inc. offers rejuvenation for body and soul to help equestrians hustle and thrive!

D Latshaw 1 As Equestrians, we’re undoubtedly blessed to spend our lives with horses, but it’s not an endeavor for the faint of heart…it’s a life often filled with long hours and hard work!

For some, their days are filled with managing a farm, teaching lessons and training and caring for horses, often late into the evening.

Others spend long hours in front of their computer, hit the gym before or after work, and then make time to ride and care for their horses.

And of course, there are household responsibilities, meals to shop for and prepare, family activities, the list goes on- It’s a giant balancing act and, I know from experience, it can be exhausting!

Over the years, I recognized the importance of offering my clients healthy options to improve energy and focus, to help them sleep well, to control stress, maintain a healthy weight and boost their immune system.

D Layshaw 2 As some of you know, for many years, I’ve offered massage therapy and Magnawave / pemf, for both horses and equestrians.

In 2018, I completed an Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching certification, and I’m pleased to announce that I’ve recently added a nutrition assessment option to my list of services.

And of course, I’m coupling that with a high quality line of products perfect for hard working equestrians!

D Latshaw 3 The sports nutrition line I’m offering is comprised of organic, real food (not synthetic!) ingredients that can be traced from seed to package.

It addresses daily nutrition, hydration, healthy digestion, immunity, stress relief, good quality sleep, improved energy and amazing skin care !

D Latshaw 4 I’m excited to share these new options with you!

I’ve been a horse owner and avid equestrian since childhood and I know the importance of making your health and well-being a priority so you can enjoy the life with horses that we all dearly love!

Theresa Talley offers you and your pets Holistic Orthopedic Pain Relief!

Details: May 31, 2025; By Staff Writers

Licensed Massage Therapist, Theresa Talley offers pain relief and wellness care for Equestrians and their Equine partners and pets in the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware since 1991.

T Talley 1 She can work with you at your equestrian facility or by live video, based on clinical results and over 30 years of research.

Clients and Patients are referred by physicians and veterinarians or are Legacy Clients.

Legacy clients are those who have been with her practice from 1991 - 2022.

Their special pricing and rates are available exclusively to them.

Theresa has owned and ridden ponies and horses most of her life and still has horses and rides.

She developed holistic orthopedic massage techniques over a 32-year span of treating patients at doctors' offices and spas/salons for pain management and stress reduction.

While studying holistic health and education as a naturopathic doctor, she knew she wanted to use the modalities she was learning on horses too, and found horses were willing recipients of her therapeutic touch practice sessions.

T Talley 2 She then decided to take the massage she learned and apply it to dogs as well as horses.

Theresa's teacher recommended that she practice on humans for three years to build up her strength and endurance.

She also told her about a program in VA that offered Equine Sports Massage, so Theresa enrolled and three years later became one of the first 500 people to be certified in the world.

This was in 1994.
