Equine Physiotherapy

Proactive and Positive

Horses are athletes from the family hack and pony, to show jumping, eventing, racing, dressage and showing. They can pull muscles on a regular basis, whilst ridden, in the stable or out in the field, therefore can benefit from regular physiotherapy.

• Resentment to tacking up

• Napping, rearing or bucking

• Poor performance, shortened stride, stiffness

• Unwilling to move forward, in transitions, whilst ridden

• Saddle and ill fitted tack problems

Whether your horse is recovering from injury or surgery, has a long term chronic condition, is elderly or has suffered a loss in performance, or would just like your to have a check up, I can carry out a full assessment and provide treatment and an appropriate treatment plan.
