| From a
career working with horses and ponies I realize that regular
massage is very important for all horses, for their physical,
emotional and mental well-being, for recovery from injury and
for ensuring correct muscular development during growth and
training. Over the years I have continued to develop the way
I work and now offer a 4 step holistic approach.
Step 1. Equine Communication
I receive impressions directly from the horses by fine
tuning my senses. I feel their emotional state. I
listen to the energy within their bodies and I see from the
point of view of the horses and find out what is important to
them. I then discuss these impressions with the owner.
Step 2. Bodywork
I give massage, craniosacral therapy, light touch and
healing with specialised stretches according to what is most
acceptable to the horse.
Step 3. Instruction
As a horsemanship coach I offer instruction for the owner
to cover all training with groundwork, classical dressage
flatwork and jumping. I also give bodywork tips and
techniques for the owner to help their horse.
Step 4. Support
To be there as a continuing support for horse and owner
giving coaching and guidance to the partnerships.
I work closely with veterinary and other professionals to
ensure all the needs of the horse and owner can be met.
In addition to helping owners with their goals and
aspirations I regularly enjoy schooling and competing on
clients horses and continue my professional development by
attending a range of courses. My continuing aim is to
listen to and work with the horse and owner to achieve balance
and harmony on all levels.
