About Your Partner to Achieve a Relaxed Path
Angela Phillips partners with horse owners like you, providing customized Equine Bodywork and Western Saddle Fitting services to ensure your horse's comfort, movement, and performance.
She believes the foundation of a happy, willing, and high-performing horse lies in two critical elements: a relaxed, functional body and a perfectly balanced saddle.
This deep commitment evolved into Relaxed Path Equine, LLC. She offers an integrated approach with Equine Bodywork and Western Saddle Fitting to ensure your horse moves without restriction and carries you without pain.
Because the equine body and saddle fit dynamics are constantly evolving, Angela maintains a continual investment in the most current, effective, and science-backed techniques, guaranteeing a customized service that grows with your horse's needs.

📚 Our Philosophy: More Than Just "Good Enough"
A beautiful or expensive saddle means nothing if it doesn't match your horse's unique ribcage and topline shape. Similarly, a strong massage can only do so much if the source of muscle tension (the saddle) is never addressed.
We strive to not settle for "good enough." When appropriate, she combines her bodywork knowledge with her saddle fitting expertise to:
- Identify where your horse is holding tension (bodywork).
- Determine if the saddle is the root cause (saddle fitting).
- Resolve both the physical discomfort and the ill-fitting equipment.
Relaxed Path Equine's goal is to give your horse the freedom of movement they deserve, allowing them to truly be your equine athlete, friend, and family member.
We look forward to partnering with you!
