Hi, I’m Paige, founder of Peak 7 Performance & Wellness.
My connection with horses began more than 15 years ago while growing up in Colorado. Horses have always been an important part of my life, both personally and professionally. I’ve ridden, competed, owned horses, and built my career around caring for them. Growing up, I competed in hunter/jumper and had horses of my own. I also volunteered at the Farview Horse Rescue in Fairplay, Colorado, where I worked with horses from many different backgrounds.
While attending college in Cheyenne, Wyoming, I continued riding in both English and Western disciplines. I earned my degree in Equine Science as well as a certification in Equine Training and Management. My experience as a rider and horse owner has given me a strong understanding of the different demands placed on horses and the importance of supporting their comfort, mobility, and overall well-being.
After college, I returned to Colorado and began my professional career at Littleton Equine Medical Center as an Ambulatory Veterinary Technician Assistant. There, I worked alongside a veterinarian specializing in sports medicine and gained valuable experience caring for performance horses. Working in an ambulatory setting also gave me extensive hands on experience with horses in their everyday environments. I saw firsthand how horses move, perform, recover, and respond to veterinary care.
Wanting to expand my knowledge of equine bodywork, I attended the Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure and Massage. There, I received specialized training in equine massage and became certified in therapeutic and sports massage.
I later moved to the Twin Cities and continued my career at the University of Minnesota Large Animal Hospital. Working alongside veterinarians and other members of the veterinary team expanded my experience in equine patient care and reinforced the importance of looking at the horse as a whole.
Every horse is different, which is why I take an individualized approach to every session. I consider each horse’s history, movement, discipline, workload, and specific needs when developing a bodywork session.
Whether I’m working with a performance horse preparing for competition, a senior horse needing supportive care, or a horse receiving routine maintenance, my goal is to support comfortable movement, mobility, and overall well being.
At Peak 7, it’s about more than massage—it’s about helping horses feel, move, and perform at their best.
The name Peak 7 is deeply personal to me.
I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, where Peak 7 is a place that shaped my love for the outdoors, horses, and the western lifestyle. It represents where my journey began and the values that continue to guide my work today.
To me, Peak also symbolizes striving for excellence helping every horse reach their highest level of comfort, movement, and performance through thoughtful, individualized care.
Although my journey has taken me from Colorado to Wyoming and now to Minnesota, the name Peak 7 serves as a reminder of my roots and the passion that inspired me to dedicate my career to helping horses.
