Rising Stars: Meet Morgan Stephens of Tremonton

Today we’d like to introduce you to Morgan Stephens.

Hi Morgan, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I began my journey working as a veterinary technician, where I spent six years immersed in the world of animal care. Though I loved helping all animals, I’d always felt a special pull toward horses—even before I had one of my own. When I was sixteen, my parents surprised me with my first horse, and that moment changed everything. To help pay for her care, I started working as a vet tech and quickly fell in love with the science of healing. While I considered veterinary school, my true passion emerged in rehabilitation—helping horses restore balance and strength through movement and mindful care. Becoming a Certified Equine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CERP) was the perfect fit. In my first year, I worked on over a thousand horses, gaining invaluable hands-on experience. But I began to realize that while short-term therapies were beneficial, they didn’t always address the root of the problem. That realization sparked a new chapter—one focused on long-term transformation through education, movement, and connection. Today, I share what I’ve learned through online and in-person programs, helping horses and their humans build healthier bodies, deeper partnerships, and a stronger foundation for lasting well-being.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
For the most part, it’s been a smooth road. When I started, I was the only CERP in Utah, and people were eager for a new, more holistic way to support their horses. There was such a hunger for education and alternative approaches to care, which made it an exciting time to grow. But of course, no real progress comes without a few bumps along the way. I had to learn how to navigate the business side of things, build a presence on social media, and keep evolving as a practitioner—all while continuing to learn from every horse I work with. Each one has taught me something new, and that constant growth has been the most rewarding part of the journey

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I specialize in equine rehabilitation, movement, and education—helping horses build balance, strength, and connection through mindful, functional movement. My work bridges the gap between traditional therapy and long-term wellness by not only addressing physical issues but also teaching owners how to help their horses move and feel better every day. I’m best known for my holistic approach that combines science, biomechanics, and emotional connection, and for the educational programs I’ve created to empower horse owners around the world.

What I’m most proud of is seeing the transformations—not just in the horses, but in the people who work with them. When someone tells me their horse feels happy, balanced, and willing again, that’s what it’s all about. What sets me apart is my whole-body approach and focus on finding the root cause of an issue rather than just treating the symptoms. The horse is always my greatest teacher, and I’ve learned that real progress comes when we slow down, listen deeply, and let the horse show us what they need.

Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
I’m constantly learning and always searching for the newest information to deepen my understanding of horses. A few of my favorite resources are The Horse First Podcast, the book Horse Brain, Human Brain by Janet Jones, and the Biosphera Horse 360 app, which keeps me sharp on biomechanics and anatomy. I love anything that helps me bridge science and feel—combining knowledge with awareness to better serve the horses I work with.
