I can help your horse feel and perform their best, reduce risk of injury and aid recovery and rehabilitation with hands on Sport Massage and Cryo Therapy

A long history, working with and riding horse has allowed me to understand how they respond to daily stress and ailment. The movement of a horse is shared and disrupted by the rider, the two are unified. I offer horse and rider massage to encourage complete harmony and comfort for both. Studying Equine Sports Massage and Human Holistic Massage allowed me to assimilate a lifetime of experience with a formal education, which demonstrates how motion and daily exercising/routine translates into strains and stresses for both the rider and horse. Equine Sports Massage - As with humans, horses are susceptible to aches, pains, stiffness and tight areas. However, they communicate their discomfort with subtle changes in behavior, ears back as you tack up, becoming aggressive, avoiding and evading commands whilst being ridden etc etc, any change in your horse no matter how big or small could be a way to tell you that they are not comfortable or happy. With regular massage we can ensure peace of mind that your horse is feeling no aches and pains and able to work to his full potential. Rehabilitation - Working in conjunction with a vet can be effective in accelerating horses recovery rate after an operation or injury. Prices:
Equine Sports Massage - £40 a session

Travel will be added if outside the horsham area. Group discounts also given.

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

I’m thrilled to share that I have now completed my course, received my results… and not only passed, but achieved a Certificate of Excellence! 🏆

This has further expanded my knowledge and understanding of the horse, which I can now apply to every treatment I carry out with your horses.

Even more exciting, this qualification means I am now a fully registered member of AHPR (Animal Health Professions’ Register) and a proud member of ESMA (Equine Sports Massage Association).

For you as an owner, this means peace of mind knowing you are using a fully qualified, fully insured practitioner who is committed to the highest professional standards for your horse’s care. 🐴💆‍♀️

Thank you for your continued trust and support – I can’t wait to put this knowledge into practice with your wonderful horses!

🟢 Equine Muscle Focus 🟢

During one of my latest massage session, I noticed this horse showing some tension and specific reactions in areas I’ve highlighted on this diagram 📍

🔍 Muscles like the Omotransversarius, Brachiocephalicus, Pectoralis Descendens, Pectoralis Transversus, and Biceps Brachii were showing tightness and sensitivity. These muscles are heavily involved in neck and forelimb movement, shoulder extension, and stability during locomotion.

📌 When a horse shows discomfort in these areas, it’s often linked to:
• Compensating for uneven workload or saddle fit
• Poor posture during work or turnout
• Repetitive strain from training or conformation imbalances
For this particular horse we believe it was from galloping on the hard ground. .. .
💆‍♀️ Massage here helps release muscle tension, fascia, improve circulation, and restore normal movement patterns—which this guy really appreciated by the end of the session (lots of yawns and licks! 😄)

I love using visuals like this to help explain why horses respond the way they do during bodywork—it’s not random, it’s communication. 🐴❤️
