"You are one of the most intelligent and holistic people I know. Your opinion is highly valued. X"

Receiving messages like this make me do a little 💃. The hard work pays off and I've been working hard at understanding and working with horses for nearly 35 years now. (I know, I don’t look a day over 21 😂)
Furthering my knowledge and Delving into Osteopathy in 2020 was one of the best things I’ve done.

What if we could add clarity to our assessment process?
I’m really fortunate to have studied at the highest level that there is in Equine Osteopathy with the most in depth assessment process. Vets often comment that I see things that others don’t.
But what if we could make that even better, more clarity, more objectiveness and even more knowledge to truly understand and make that difference before we get to a problem?
That’s why I choose to offer Osteopathic Assessments alongside scientific based objective Gait Analysis.
It’s time to truly know what we are doing and why we are doing it? Isn’t it??

Max’s Autumn/Winter mode has yet to be activated 😂😂 Can you tell how happy he was to get wet today on our route round!!!!

07/11/2025

I hope you’ve all had a lovely week?

I will not be answering any messages now until Monday. The last 5 weeks have been full on and exhausting and I’ve been non stop 7 days a week. So I’m taking the weekend away from work related items.

Thank you for your continued support and I’ll be back with you Monday!!!

NOVEMBER IS FULL!! Unless I manage to split into 3 versions of myself 😂😂

I’m taking bookings well into December and January.

When a client tells you today that they wished they had met you sooner for the benefit of their horse.
Never underestimate the power that these kind of statements have on me and how it makes me want to keep going ☺️

Picture of the boy who started it all. 🥰 Your legacy will always live on.

**See what your horse is really telling you through movement**

Every stride your horse takes reveals valuable information about their comfort, balance, and performance, but some things the eye just can’t catch in real time.
That’s where gait analysis comes in.
Using slow-motion video and detailed observation, I assess your horse’s movement patterns to identify subtle asymmetries, early signs of compensation, or areas that could limit performance before they become problems.

A session includes:
- Video capture (in-hand or ridden or both)
- A personalised feedback report with access to the recordings
- Tailored exercises or management advice when used in conjunction with osteopathic assessments

Perfect for:
Horses returning to work after time off
Competition horses needing fine-tuning and monitoring
Ongoing maintenance between osteopathy sessions

This is a brilliant way to keep your horse comfortable, improve performance, monitor rehabilitation alongside your vets and extend their athletic career without extra strain or guesswork.

I’m now taking bookings for Gait Analysis Appointments across my regular areas — or ask about hosting a Yard Gait Analysis Day for multiple horses at your yard.

Now taking bookings into December and the New Year 🙌

Hey Folks! I hope you’re all ok?
I’m inundated with booking messages at the moment and doing my best to keep up and plan days 🙏 forever grateful thank you.
If you are looking for a date, please message me sooner rather than later. I think I have an hour to myself Friday to make plans 💪
Throwback picture to younger days 😂😂

Today’s post is inspired by a beautiful mare that I have seen today alongside her amazing vet.
It is not about being right, it's about doing what is right, always.

Your horse’s movement always tells a story and when we listen closely, we can help them feel and perform their best.

Gait Analysis reveals subtle asymmetries, compensations, and changes in movement patterns that might go unnoticed to the naked eye. It provides clear, objective insight into how your horse moves.

Equine Osteopathy then addresses the why by releasing tension, restoring balance, and improving joint and muscle function throughout the body or if appropriate depending on clinical findings, refer to your Vet.

Together, these two approaches create a powerful combination:
Early detection of movement irregularities
Tailored treatment and rehabilitation plans
Enhanced comfort, functionality and longevity
Better communication between horse, rider, and practitioner
When science meets feel, your horse benefits from the best of both worlds.
