Logan Groves, In-House Equine Massage Therapist

Logan Groves, founder of Sol Equine Bodywork, is a certified equine massage therapist. She received her certification from the Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure and Massage and is currently working on advanced bodywork courses and certifications.

From a very early age, Logan recognized the extraordinary strength, wisdom, and compassion of horses and the deep connection she felt with them. Horses became her northern star and filled her life with passion and resilience. She is committed to building a holistic practice that allows her to give these incredible creatures a fraction of the comfort they have provided her throughout her journey.

Logan was lucky enough to begin taking horseback riding lessons at the age of four and has been training with Dani Sussman for the past decade. She grew up with four rescued donkeys, that she adores and considers her best friends, and has a retired thoroughbred, Kingsley, who has completely stolen her heart and is living out his golden years as Logan’s dream come true. She is thrilled to be making a career out of what she loves most and is excited to provide a unique service to the community she has long been a part of.
