WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A BODY WORK SESSION

Once you contact me to schedule a massage session; I will interview you briefly over the phone about your reasons for deciding on body work for your horse and timetable your Equine Body Work Session. When I meet with you and your horse I provide a full assessment of the horses conformation, range of motion and analyze its gaits. 

A thorough past and present history will be sought; I will usually work on your horse for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I then discuss with you what I have discovered during the massage. The session often ends with a demonstration of appropriate stretches or massage strokes you can incorporate into your horse's routine. You will be provided with a copy of the analysis paperwork.

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 skilful 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. My job is soft tissue massage.  

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.
