Imagine working with your horse to fully support them and allow them space to breathe and relax.

✔ better muscle function
✔ reduced compensations
✔ improved movement quality
✔ more comfortable work
✔ clearer communication under saddle

If you want your horse to enter 2026 with a clear, tailored plan to get them to this point, DM the word “2026” to book your New Year bodywork session.

A successful start to the year begins with a comfortable, well-prepared body.

Winter creates predictable physical challenges: tighter backs, reduced stride length, more compensations, and less efficient movement. Massage helps reverse these patterns by restoring elasticity, improving circulation, and reducing the workload placed on individual muscles or joints.

My approach focuses on giving the horse enough safety and relaxation to actually release tension fully, not just tolerate the session.

When a horse feels safe, their body responds better, the changes last longer, and their movement improves more consistently.

If you want a structured, professional plan to support your horse’s physical development in early 2026, DM me the word “2026” and I’ll help you map out exactly what they need.

As we move into the depths of winter, horses often become tighter without us noticing.

Cold air, reduced movement, changes in routine all create a perfect storm for muscle tension.

And when the muscles tighten, everything changes:
• stride length shortens
• transitions feel resistant
• the back becomes guarded
• power disappears
• confidence drops

These aren’t just seasonal quirks.

They’re signs your horse’s body is working harder than it should.
Massage helps dissolve the tension that quietly builds during winter restoring freedom in the back, elasticity in the muscles, and softness through the whole body.
It’s one of the most effective ways to help your horse:
✨ finish 2025 feeling comfortable and supported
✨ and step into 2026 with confidence, softness, and true movement potential

If you want your horse to start 2026 feeling soft, supple and comfortable, DM me the word “FREEDOM” and let’s get them booked in for a winter session.

Merry Christmas to my clients, followers, friends and family, and of course all of your horses ✨

I hope today brings moments of stillness, warmth, and connection, the kind that remind us why we do what we do (which I know is especially difficult at this time of year).

Whether you’re spending the morning on the yard, mucking out as usual, sneaking in a festive hack, or simply sharing a quiet cuddle in the stable… have a wonderful day.

I also want to thank you for trusting me to support you and your horses this year.

Wishing you a peaceful, joy-filled Christmas, from my yard to yours 💜

Tension and pain in your horse’s body, results in compensatory patterns, asymmetry and leaves you with a horse who doesn't have the capacity to perform the way they used to.

Plus when your horse feels tight, connection becomes harder for them to offer.

This winter, think of massage as giving your horse a fresh start in their body:
✨ removing stiffness
✨ restoring softness
✨ helping them move without guarding
✨ bringing back their confidence
✨ supporting a deeper, calmer partnership

Massage is a gift that keeps giving, through every ride, every stride, every quiet moment together.

DM the word “FREEDOM” if you’d like to enter the new year knowing your horse will be comfortable, tension free and pain free.

21/12/2025

As the days get colder and the workload shifts, your horse’s muscles work harder to stay warm, stay loose, and stay comfortable.

Winter is the season where stiffness settles faster… and small tensions grow quietly.

Massage at this time of year helps:
✨ release the cold-weather tightness
✨ support healthy, elastic muscles
✨ maintain freedom through the back and shoulders
✨ keep movement smooth, confident, and comfortable
✨ prevent winter compensations that show up in spring

It’s one of the kindest gifts you can give your horse this Christmas, the gift of a body that feels good to move in.

DM the words “WINTER BODYWORK” if you’d like personalised guidance for your horse.

Inconsistency isn’t a training issue.

It’s usually a muscle issue.

When your horse feels brilliant one day, resistant the next, then suddenly “lazy”…it’s often a sign that certain muscles are tight or struggling to support their workload.

Massage helps identify and release these patterns:
- areas of overwork
- hidden asymmetry
- tension that limits stride
- muscular fatigue
- old compensations

A comfortable horse is a consistent horse, mentally and physically.

If you want a deeper understanding of what your horse needs, DM the word “FREEDOM.”

Power isn’t only created in the arena, it’s created from healthy, happy muscles.

A horse can only perform to the level their body allows, and when the muscles are tight, restricted, or fatigued, their performance drops long before you see an obvious problem.

Massage plays a crucial role in restoring the foundations of strength:
✔ elasticity
✔ symmetry
✔ correct recruitment
✔ full range of motion
✔ comfort

These are the things that allow a horse to move with real power, not forced power.

Power that comes from a comfortable, well-functioning body.

If you want to help your horse move with more confidence and ease this winter,
DM me the word “FREEDOM.”

If your horse has felt a little flat, short-strided, or resistant recently…

Start by looking at the muscles.

Massage resets the body so your horse can lengthen, lift, and engage with more ease.

It’s one of the simplest ways to restore comfort and improve movement this winter.

DM the word “TENSION” if you want to improve your horse’s movement this month.

Everyone has their own reasons for becoming an Equine Massage Therapist, mine was I wanted to be able to support my young horse during his rehabilitation, and in the future help other horses.

My young horse Twiglet fractured his pedal bone when he was 6 so had to have a year off.

I wanted to do something during that time that would help me in the future.

I had always been interested in learning how horses move , their anatomy and thought how amazing it would be if I could actually help horses and see them benefit by improving their performance.

I took my human massage diploma followed by the ESMA diploma with Mary Bromiley which was just the beginning of an amazing journey.

Years down the line I have learnt so much and love to keep on developing my skills and knowledge .

Above all I feel so lucky I can look after my own horse’s musculoskeletal health, especially Twiglet now at nearly 24 he is my inspiration and still teaches me so much.

That’s the transformation I see so many horses go through when we address the root of their discomfort.

You know that moment when your horse takes their first deep breath in a session?

The moment the tension melts and their eyes soften…

It’s like they finally get to let go.

Massage isn’t just a relaxing massage.

It’s restoring the elasticity that makes movement feel easy again. It’s helping them rediscover their own body, without pain, without restriction, without hesitation.

I’ve watched horses go from short, tight, frustrated steps… to lifting through their back, stepping under, powering forward with confidence.

Not because we changed the training.

Not because we added more pressure.

But because their body finally felt good again.

And when a horse feels good, everything changes, their movement, their willingness, their connection with you.

If your horse deserves to feel comfortable, powerful, and full of energy again, DM me the word “COMFORT.”

If you’d like support with your horse’s movement, strength and muscle tension, DM me the word “SUPPORT” to have a chat.
