About Sherry Seals
Sherry Seals is a lifelong equine enthusiast. She had the good fortune of growing up just outside of Wellington, Florida where she had access to world-renowned trainers and clinicians. She has ridden, shown, and trained in many disciplines including hunters, jumpers, dressage, and barrel horses.
Although she enjoys riding and showing, her real passion is equine health, both physical and spiritual. Her love for the equine species extends far beyond riding. Sherry traded in her aspirations in the show ring to help riders and horses. A true equine intuitive, she offers sound equine experience and knowledge with a little "help" from the horse.
Sherry spent fifteen years working as a veterinary assistant in mixed animal practices. The experiences were irreplaceable, but she was always frustrated with the limitations that allopathic medicine had to offer. In 1995, Sherry made the commitment to dedicate her life to learning about the holistic approach to equine care. After years of college, private sector courses, IVAT schooling, clinics, symposiums, and many hours of internship, she started sharing that knowledge and expertise with others.
Sherry has worked with some of the best veterinarians, homeopaths, naturopaths, chiropractors, saddle fitters, and massage therapists that the world has to offer. The experiences derived from the close working relationships with other professionals from various modalities is an invaluable toolbox. This allows her to assist horse owners in choosing other professionals that best fit their needs. If you already have a great team, she is happy to work with them. Sherry believes that there is no room for egos in this line of work.
Sherry is currently a certified Equine Bodyworker, Equine Sports Massage Therapist, a Certified Independent Saddle Fitter, and a Society of Master Saddlers Qualified Fitter. Sherry is also Certified by the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association, and the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association as a Saddle Fit Educator.
