Things to note before booking

During the assessment I will need to see your horse move at walk, trot, circles and backing up in hand. Please make sure someone is onsite to do this.

I want this to be a relaxing time for your horse so when choosing your time please be aware that:

  • It’s not feed time 

  • Not going out time or friend is going out and they aren’t.

  • Not due to be ridden shortly after.

  • It’s not the day before a show or event.

 I’m happy to answer any questions you may have throughout the treatment. However, there will also be times when I need to concentrate quietly, so please don’t feel that I’m ignoring you.

What to expect on the day

Expect me to be there for an hour. Sometimes this can be a little longer depending on what your horse needs.
 

Please make sure your horse is dry and not caked in mud.


I will come and assess your horses at walk, trot, circles and backing up. This is so I can note any tightness or conformational issues that may explain soreness on your horse.
I will palpate your horse to find reactive areas and decide how to treat your horse.


I will then use a combination of the following techniques to treat your horse:
 

  • Stroking 

  • Effleurage

  • Wringing 

  • Kneading 

  • Compression

  • Picking Up 

  • Skin Rolling 

  • Shaking 

  • Deep Fibre Friction 

  • Tapotements

  • I may use the physiokey or the theraputic ultrasound if needed.
