Based in Cumbria, Nicola is a valued member of the
N.A.R.E.M.T. while continuing her studies through the Diploma
course programme.
Nicola's passion and understanding of today's domestic horses
sees her as a trustee of a Thoroughbred Rehabilitation Centre,
as well as successfully competing her own horse in at county
level showing and dressage classes.

In Nicola's own words . . .
|
The muscles of both working and non working horses benefit
greatly from the workings of equine massage therapy, producing
strong, flexible, toned and innervated muscles, allowing the
horse to perform the work asked of him with far greater ease
and comfort with less muscular consequences.
Equine massage therapy will benefit horses in all levels of
work, from those on box rest to performance horses.
I endeavour to work closely with other professionals such as
veterinary surgeons and physiotherapists, ensuring that the
horses requirements and needs are both recognised and fully
met.
All clients are given detailed records of their horses initial
assessment and follow up sessions.
I offer a mobile service covering Lancashire and Cumbria.

Background |
I am currently working as a senior staff member at The
Thoroughbred Rehabilitation Centre in Lancashire.
My role involves rehabilitation of thoroughbreds and
thoroughbred racehorses. Much of the work involves care of
horses with a variety of injuries or conditions which may have
ended their racing career.
I have been associated with the Thoroughbred centre for some
13 years as a trustee, a field officer and as a senior staff
member.
I have much experience in working with performance horses,
both in recovery from injury and those in work. I am also used
to working with yougstock as well as horses which may prove
difficult to handle.
One of my main loves is Mountain and Moorland showing with my
Highland mare, competing both regionally and at county level,
having also gained experienced in working with other native
breeds. |
