In Melanie's' words . . .
|
|
From as soon as I could walk and talk all I wanted to do was be with
horses, which was strange as I came from a totally non horsey family!
After many years of persuasion they finally bought me my own pony and then
it snowballed from there. I went down the conventional routes of BHS/ABRS
exams complimented with learning my trade in showing, breeding, breaking
and schooling and then into thoroughbreds and the world of racing and
producing young athletes. However, I always thought there was more to this
horse thing and didn’t always agree with what the so called
‘experts’ had to say!

It was during the 1980’s that I was introduced to the world of Natural
Horsemanship and a new and very exciting way to work ‘with’ my horses
not forcing but making a partnership that will last not just fix up a
problem to reoccur later. I spent many years working with many different
trainers in many countries and now teach and educate others using both
natural horsemanship and classical methods both in the UK, Europe and USA
for the last 15 years. Along the way I also studied for a degree in Equine
Science and Equine Studies.

When I found equine massage it was such a natural progression with all
that I had learnt so far on my horsey journey. It has helped not only make
the horses feel better and be calmer and more relaxed with life but also
improve how they move and compete. It perfectly compliments how I train,
understand how and why the horse moves and want my horses to be around me.
It’s become a huge part of my life and helps balance the horse’s
emotions and physical well-being, creating a happy horse and a happy
owner.

I work closely with other professional bodies within equine circles. I
also work with in the codes of conduct of the National Association of
Registered Equine Massage Therapists (N.A.R.E.M.T.). I work with
individual cases and with groups working all around East Anglia and beyond
when required. My aim is to provide the very best service and help to all
horses and their owners reach their full potential to see them grow
together.
