Equine Bodywork is non-diagnostic, non-invasive and complementary to veterinary care. The services I offer should not be used as a substitute for veterinary treatment under any circumstances. If you have concerns about your horses wellbeing I recommend you seek veterinary advice before contacting me. I am more than happy to work together with your vet.
I do NOT treat or diagnose – I DO provide optimal support for your horse.
As horse owners we expect our horses to perform for us physically, whether it’s for high level competition or a leisurely ride out on the trails. We have a responsibility to look after our horse’s physical and mental well-being. Equine Bodywork is an excellent way to assist with equine soundness.

Techniques of Bodywork
No technique is better than the other but different horses react to them in different ways. I normally choose whatever I find suits best to each individual horse. I am trained in the following modalities:
Human athletes have long understood the benefits of massage which dates back to the times of Ancient Rome.
Jack Meagher is one of the pioneers of Equine Bodywork and the founder of the stress point method.
Stretching, in its most basic form, is a natural and automatic action.
This method pays very specific attention to release of the fascia which is a thin, tough, elastic type of connective tissue.
The Equine Touch is a unique technique consisting of a series of gentle moves performed over specific points on the body.
