From a very young age after learning to ride I then began my working life in a riding school. I worked there for several years in both a teaching capacity, along with managing the riding school.
I have competed in several disciplines including show jumping, cross country & dressage. Later on in my life I also judge numerous dressage competitions.
Having decided to increase my knowledge & skillset I gained a greater understanding of how horses communicate & how they learn. This then led to backing & training horses under saddle.
I have owned my current horse for just over 10 years, he is an Anglo Arab who had a very short racing career before being sold to a couple of owners prior to myself. Roo is a very sensitive horse who requires a great deal of time and calmness, something that I have in abundance. I have built up an amazing bond with him over the years and that bond will continue to grow as we both grow older together.
Over the years he has had numerous massage therapy sessions which led me to undertake a path I had been contemplating for quite some time. That path is that of a fully qualified & certified Equine Sports Massage & Rehabilitation Therapist. This now enables me to not only offer further support to my own horse, but that of others too.
Continuing on from this I am now able to offer numerous modalities, including: Myofascial Release Therapy, Heat Therapy, Therapeutic Ultrasound, Balance Training, Stretching & Mobilisation, Red Light Therapy along with Microcurrent Therapy. I am also able to offer rehabilitation plans to bring your horse back into work after an injury, or after a long period out of work.
Please feel free to message me should you have any enquiries.
