🚨 Public Service Announcement 🚨

It has come to my attention that I am exceptionally talented at treating horses… and absolutely hopeless at capturing content of said treatments 😤😂

So — I am recruiting a couple of lovely, willing clients to become Content Creator for the Day 🤪🐴

Your job? Casually snap some photos and grab a few videos while I pretend I know how angles and tripods work.
My job? Bring the good vibes, the banter, and a cheeky little discount on your session as payment for your services 🤣✨

Perks include:
• Watching me attempt to be professional
• Front row seats to my “creative direction”
• Mild chaos
• Discounted treatment

If you’re happy to tolerate me and my slightly unhinged ideas, please message me immediately. Applications now open 🤪

We take aftercare very seriously here…
Mr Buttons, however, does not 🤦🏼‍♀️

He was given a full post-treatment briefing about being on his absolute best behaviour and perhaps not hoolying around the crew yard like a caffeinated pony when dinner is served. I’m confident it went in one ear and flew straight out the other 😤😂

On a serious note though, aftercare really does matter. The stretches, mobilisation exercises, and sensible management between sessions are what keep everything moving freely and help maintain the results from treatment. They support recovery, reduce stiffness, and keep your horse feeling strong, supple, and competition-ready.

If only I could prescribe “no zoomies before tea” as part of the rehab plan… 🐴✨

✨ Now Taking on New Clients in East Anglia ✨

As the days get lighter and warmer, competition season is just around the corner. Before the workload increases, now is the perfect time to book your horse in for a pre-season MOT.

A long, wet winter can have a bigger impact on your horse’s musculoskeletal system than we often realise. Deep mud increases muscular effort, places extra strain on tendons and ligaments, and repeated slipping or lifting through heavy ground can lead to compensatory patterns, muscle tightness, and even minor strains or tears. These issues may not always present as obvious lameness but can affect performance, comfort, and willingness to work.

A 1.5-hour initial assessment and treatment allows me to carry out a full static and dynamic assessment, palpation, range of motion testing, and apply evidence-based treatments including myofascial release, deep tissue massage, TENS therapy, targeted stretching, and a tailored exercise and rehabilitation programme.

Addressing restrictions early helps optimise movement, reduce injury risk, and ensure your horse heads into the season feeling strong, balanced, and ready to perform at their best.

All messages and enquiries will be caught up with by the end of today.

Apologies for my slow replies and lack of updates — university has been stressful, and on top of that I’ve had a horrendous cold 💤

Please bear with me as I come back to a bit more normality 😄

Thinking of booking a service? You probably check reviews first — everyone does.🤪

I’ve treated hundreds of horses, and reviews play a huge role in helping new clients choose me with confidence. If you’ve had a good experience, taking 30 seconds to leave a review or follow my page directly supports my business and helps it continue to grow.

Thank you to everyone who’s already taken the time — it’s genuinely appreciated.

🧠 The science behind effective equine bodywork 🐎

I am a certified equine therapist in both the UK and the USA, with advanced training and practical experience in shiatsu massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. These therapies are among the most widely used treatments across the United States due to their well-documented positive effects on equine health and performance.

Shiatsu and trigger point therapy work by addressing areas of muscular tension, restriction, and neuromuscular dysfunction, helping to restore normal muscle tone and movement patterns. Myofascial release targets the fascial system, improving tissue elasticity and reducing compensatory tightness that can limit performance and increase injury risk.

Together, these techniques:
• Improve range of motion and biomechanical efficiency
• Release chronic and acute muscular tension
• Stimulate the lymphatic system, supporting circulation and waste removal
• Enhance recovery and overall physical comfort

By optimising soft tissue function, these treatments help horses move more freely, perform more effectively, and reach their peak performance while supporting long-term soundness and wellbeing.

Bookings starting from mid February, drop me a message on 07926 259330 to get your horse to peak performance. Price is £45 per horse, multi horse discounts available and no hidden costs or travel fees. Offering all year round support and 24/7 helpline.

PLEASE READ an Important Update About My Prices – From the Heart ❤️

This is a post I’ve put off writing for a long time... For the past four years—since the very beginning—I’ve done everything I can to stay affordable. I’ve kept my prices exactly the same, offered discounts wherever possible, and always tried to remain competitive while still investing in an ever-growing list of qualifications, skills, and experience.

I’ve never wanted to raise my prices just because “others charge more” or because “people would pay it.” That has never sat right with me. I love what I do, and I’ve always believed that horses should be able to receive regular, meaningful care—not just the occasional treatment as a luxury.

There is a very fine line between charging your worth and being greedy, and that’s a line I will never cross. Animal welfare comes first, always. Physio, chiropractic work, massage—these things should be accessible. What kind of animal lover would I be if I priced myself so high that retired Sally down the road couldn’t afford to keep her 20-year-old happy-hacking cob Jim feeling his best?

But with the rising costs of fuel, tyres, vehicle maintenance, insurance, and the general cost of living, I’ve reached a point where I simply can’t avoid an increase any longer.

So, from 1st January 2026, my standard price will be £45 per horse.

HOWEVER…
For all my regular clients who book religiously every 8–12 weeks, your price will remain at £40. This is my way of saying thank you—for your loyalty, your support, and for trusting me with your horses’ wellbeing. You are the foundation of my business, and I’m genuinely grateful for each and every one of you.

Thank you for understanding, and thank you for allowing me to continue doing what I love while keeping your horses comfortable, happy, and performing at their best. ❤️🫶🐴
