I became certified in 2020 as an Equine Sports therapist, I’m currently specializing in equine behaviour and rehabilitation. My passion is soft tissue therapy and strengthening and conditioning sports horses and rehabbing sports injuries. I have over 15 years of experience with horses from foaling to geriatrics, in training, multiple disciplines including western and three-day eventing and hunter/jumpers and classical dressage with a focus on proper biomechanics. I worked as head of post-surgery/clinical rehabilitation at an equine-specialized veterinary clinic assisting with the head vet for in-clinic emergencies and field work which helped in my certification for equine first response training.
Targeted bodywork for the established equine athlete. This session focuses on clearing the "micro-tensions" of daily training to prevent compensation patterns from becoming injuries. Ideal for horses in regular work needing to maintain peak flexibility, symmetry, and recovery speed. Using a variety of modalities to ensure a tailored session of every horse and individual needs
A comprehensive deep-dive into the horse's biomechanics and structural history. This session includes a full-body palpation, static and dynamic postural assessment, and a Range of Motion (ROM) audit. Using 20 years of multi-discipline experience and Vet Med insights, I identify the root patterns of restriction to create a baseline for long-term soundness. Required for all new clients.
Complex structural issues aren't fixed in a single hour. This package provides the intensive, consistent oversight required to break down deep scar tissue and re-pattern compensatory movement. A high-value option for the serious recovery journey.
Specialized support for horses recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic scar tissue restrictions. This high-level session uses advanced techniques to reorganize connective tissue and restore functional movement. I work alongside your vet or farrier's plan to ensure safe, progressive structural recovery.
Saddle fit is recommended to be checked every 3-4 months to ensure proper fit during the course of the active riding season since horses musculature changes as there fitness increases. I take a more wholistic approach so I check for symmetry of the horse, saddle as-well as rider when appropriate to ensure a balanced fit I will often ask the level of competition as-well as for the horse to be ridden for a few minutes for a dynamic assessment of the fit of the saddle for both horse and rider. Please consider I do not not carry consignment saddles at this time, you must provide all saddles if necessary for me to fit to your horse if you require a new saddle. Please bring all items you use on a day to day basis for padding underneath the saddle eg. if you ride in a thicker style pad, half-pad etc. this does alter the way the saddle lays on the horses back.
