Once you contact me to book or enquire about an Equine Body Work session.

When I meet with you and your horse a thorough past and present history will be sought. I will ask lots and lots of questions.
I will provide a full assessment of the horses conformation stood square, and analyze its range of motion and its gaits in hand or on the lunge / long lines or ridden if appropriate.
I will work on the horse where it is most comfortable and quiet.
I will usually work on your horse for about 90 – 120 minutes time is dependent on what the soft tissue story your horse or pony presents.
I will then discuss with you what I have discovered during the session, this is always supported by written notes and a visual muscular diagram.
The session often ends with a demonstration of appropriate stretches or massage strokes you can incorporate into your horse's routine if appropriate.
All paperwork is typed up following a session and you will be provided with a copy of this paperwork in the post.
In addition a follow up call after 7 days always proceeds an initial session to provide feedback on the horse and its progress.
A schedule at this time can be discussed to support your horse’s needs.
I am the holistic eyes that link and strengthen your horses support team of professionals, by providing a skillful assessment of your horse’s muscular fitness.
I use my hands to facilitate a preventative treatment.
I have the expertise working with horses in various disciplines.
As an Equine Body Worker I can work side by side with you as and when appropriate.
"A horse needs to be balanced and as a working machine needs to enable itself to coordinate its joints, muscles through its tendons to facilitate its gaits and therefore its movements. As a trainer would retrain the horse to perform to his best, I retrain the horse’s muscles to perform to their best".
