HI FRIENDS, I’M

Maggie Knowles

I believe in empowering you to deepen your partnership with your horse and in helping you find success by allowing your horse to build confidence in their body through accessible holistic care.

As a certified equine massage therapist with experience serving hundreds of horses I help clients achieve pain reduction, prevent injury, and improve performance in their horses so they can find confidence in their partnership.

MY STORY

Full Focus Equine started from my experience with my late horse, Stranger. I saw firsthand how massage and bodywork helped him stay comfortable as he aged and transitioned into a new role. Massage and bodywork not only improved his mobility both under saddle and in the pasture, he was also happier.

Over the years, I’ve watched my mentors work as they changed the lives of the horses they worked on. I knew I wanted to do the same. What started as a way to help my own horse grew into a passion for helping so many others achieve the same peace and success with their own horses.

I’ve since had the opportunity to help horses and their owners find peace, comfort, and success regardless of their stage of life. Whether it’s helping retired arthritic horses regain their range of motion and mobility or performance horses improving their movement and ability. The changes I’ve seen are visible—not just in how a horse moves, but in their improved happiness, renewed energy, healthier coat, stronger hooves, and so much more as they find the ability to comfortably use their bodies properly.

As a Certified Equine Massage Therapist with over 15 years of experience in the equine industry and a background in equine science, I’ve seen hundreds of horses have the opportunity to live happier and more successful lives through the power of holistic care.

Full Focus Equine seeks to make holistic care accessible to all horses and owners, so everyone has the opportunity to experience the power of holistic care. We’ve made a difference for others and we want to do the same for you too!

VALUES

At Full Focus Equine, I believe every horse and owner deserves access to quality care, no matter their level or discipline. I want to work closely with your horse’s care team—vet, farrier, chiropractor, and more—to make sure your horse receives cohesive, well-rounded support.

With kindness and understanding, I approach each situation believing owners are doing their best with the resources they have, and seek to make holistic care accessible to everyone.

  • Maggie is very thorough in her initial evaluation and with her follow up. She will guide your horse to healing through massage and also demonstrate exercises to build strength in between sessions. i have three horses with different confirmation issues and she helped with everyone!

  • I would highly recommend Maggie at Full Focus Equine! I have been very impressed with her work so far. The horses have been loving their appointments and feeling better each time! Maggie has been nothing but knowledgeable, kind, and patient!

    KAYCI ELLEFSON

  • Maggie at Full Focus Equine is nothing but fabulous. My very tense ottb loved her and just after a few sessions felt so much better and fluid in his body. After almost a year with Maggie, I cannot say enough good things about her work! She is consistently wanting to extend her knowledge in equine body work and always wants to be there for you and your horse.

    JILLIAN TREU

  • Maggie with Full Focus Equine is INCREDIBLE. Her knowledge and understanding of how a horses body works and moves, creates great results to keep your horse feeling healthy and happy. My mare was having issues with tracking up correctly and was very stiff in her movements. After a few sessions, she was moving and feeling so much better! My horses and I have truly enjoyed working with Maggie, she listens to my concerns, explains things in a way that’s easily understood, and gives me exercises and ideas to help my horses on a daily basis! Thank you Full Focus Equine!

  • Maggie is very good at what she does and she cares. Treats each horse has they need specifically. Maggie also helps you to understand and teaches you things to help at home.

    HEATHER JUNTUNEN

  • My horses and I love Maggie! I have several horses all with different needs and in varying levels of work, and Maggie helps each one of them. My horses feel GREAT after their sessions. I appreciate that Maggie works with my mare’s competition schedule in mind so she knows just what she needs to perform her best. And because I can’t always be there when Maggie works on my horses, she provides a detailed summary of each session.

    ERIN BLANCK

  • Maggie always has my horses feeling relaxed and loose after she works on them. She is a huge advocate for them, she’s patient, and truly listens to them. She is constantly bringing in such positive energy into the sessions and I love how big of a difference I can feel in Zeus since he started seeing Maggie.

    HANNAH MEAD

  • I can't say enough good things about Full Focus Equine! As a trainer, the feedback I received after each session has been incredibly helpful. I have a clear understanding of where the horses problem areas are and how their muscles are handling the workload. My favorite part is discussing stretches and exercises to incorporate into my routine to keep the horses feeling their best between appointments.

    JULIA GOYKE

  • As the owner of a typically tight OTTB, I've come to truly appreciate the benefits of massage therapy through Maggie. She is kind knowledgeable, and incredibly patient with my horse, Asher. Throughout our sessions, I can see Asher becoming more relaxed through the releases he offers and after our sessions, I can feel Asher becoming more supple. 

    Maggie's understanding of equine anatomy and her ability to target key areas has made a real difference for him. I also appreciate how Maggie provides me with stretches and exercises to work on with Asher between sessions to help him continue to feel his best.  It's always a pleasure working with Maggie and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their horse's well-being.
