We are here to help.
Elevating Equine Performance,
One Stride at a Time.
At Peak Stride Performance, our mission is to enhance the health, performance, and longevity of equine athletes through specialized, results-driven massage therapy.
We are dedicated to supporting horses at every level by promoting optimal muscle function, accelerating recovery, and reducing the risk of injury.
With a specialized focus on Saddlebreds and Barrel Horses, we understand the unique physical demands of both high-action performance and speed-driven competition. Our approach combines knowledge, precision, and individualized care to ensure each horse receives treatment tailored to their discipline, workload, and specific needs.
We strive to partner with owners, veterinarians, and farriers to create a proactive wellness program that supports peak performance, improves comfort, and maximizes each horse's potential.
Proper care is not just maintenance — it is the foundation of excellence.
Owner & Equine Massage Therapist
Amanda lives in LaSalle, IL with her two dogs, two cats, and two horses — surrounded daily by the animals that reflect her lifelong dedication to equine care and well-being.
Her journey with horses began before she could walk, growing up in the Saddlebred discipline where she developed an early understanding of movement, sensitivity, and horsemanship. At thirteen, she transitioned into barrel racing, where she discovered a deep passion for speed, precision, and the physical demands of performance competition.
Horses have always been at the center of Amanda's life. Her mission has remained consistent: to give back to horses the same way they give to people — through trust, effort, and partnership.
Peak Stride Performance was founded from Amanda's lifelong dedication to equine athletes and her commitment to improving their comfort, recovery, and performance through intentional, knowledgeable care.
