I have some limited availability in a few areas over the next few weeks so please get in touch if you would like your horses seen, maybe a tune up before your Christmas holidays plans with them.

🧡 New website 🧡

With my old website up for renewal it was time for a refresh and a revamp, and a new domain name to help support the evolving nature of my business.

At the very least it needed to say I worked in Somerset not Surrey any more as I’ve not worked there for 5 years now 😅

Please use the new email address to contact me, the old website and email will be deactivated at the end of December.

Omg finally Case Study 4 submitted today.

The snail of the group is at least on the move 🐌🤣

This has been my favourite one so far!! Working with an ex-racehorse with asymmetrical muscle development in the shoulders, and look at that 10mm muscle growth on the right in 4 weeks!

This is my kind of saddle fitting 🙌🏻

Case Study 2 compeleted ✅

As with so many saddles they get passed around between friends hoping they will land on a horse that it might fit.

A Steve Stugess saddle on a 16hh Quarter Horse X all rounder.

Another tricky back conformation, as genuinely croup high (most are just bad posture), meaning tactical saddle fit will be required.

Key components in this case:

➰The horses back conformation and comfort
➰Rear panel shape and gusset depth
➰Bridging! A very common problem.

Unfortunately the saddle was deemed unsuitable due to the length, and that’s generally a deal breaker.

First case study completed ✔️

An Arena Pony Jump saddle on a 12.2 PC pony all rounder.

Fitting saddles well to ponies is notoriously difficult! So I threw myself in at the deep end 😅

Tutor feed back notes: ‘Tricky combination and you have made excellent observations and recommendations’

Key things in this case

➰Tree shape
➰Girthing strap options
➰Young Rider (balance, core strength and lower leg position)

📢 Exciting Announcement 📢

Hi guys, some already know but I am in the midst of doing my saddle fitting qualification!

This is always a service I envisioned being part of my business offering, and it finally feels like the right time, so I have taken a big side step and gone back to school to lean some new skills. Don’t worry, professional horse wiggling will still be my primary service ☺️

Saddle fit obviously goes hand in hand with my current work, it’s such a key player in back comfort, performance, lameness and welfare. So it’s really exciting to be filling my little brain with such applicable information to go even further to help my clients have happy horses who can enjoy and excel in their work.

I have completed and passed my theory modules, completed and passed my intensive practical training with a high Merit grade, and now I’ve started my externship.

Part of the externship is completing case studies, I’ve completed a few, I’ve got a few lined up but I need some more! So if you have a horse, and a saddle, and are keen to grab some information on how your horse and saddle are working together then drop me a DM to apply for a FREE case study place.

Priority will be given to current clients (horses seen in the last 12 months), and I am seeking a range of saddle types, horses and disciplines, so please don’t be offended if your not selected.

Chalk and bendy ruler at the ready, I look forward to micro analysing your saddles as well as your horses 😄

〰️ Functional scoliosis 〰️

‘A sideways curvature of the spine that’s is caused by an issue outside of the spine itself’

This is the most common cause for spinal imbalance, normally poor posture, muscles tension imbalances and spasms.

Almost always manageable with conservative options. Best corrected with physical therapy and specific strengthening. As well as reviewing foot balance, rider balance and saddle fit.

Restore correct tension balance in the whole system and you can recover a more balanced spine position as well reducing shoulder bulges and pelvic rotations.

I just loved how this horses lovely dark dorsal line beautifully highlighted the rolling curves of the spine.

A little about me...

I am an Equine Osteopath, both a practitioner and a lecturer in the subject. My work was borne from personal experience with the power of osteopathic philosophy and healing, as well as a inherent passion for horses. I am very fortunate to have a job where I am genuinely excited and inspired to go to work each and every day, I love my job.

I aim to provide an expert solution for owners to help resolve back pain, improve & maintain performance and support injury recovery for their horses. Alongside this I offer informative talks to groups and clubs on related topics such as exercises, back care basics and anatomy. I am passionate about the education aspect for clients, hence my informative posts on my page.

Working extensively across Somerset and North Devon I provide a well respected service due to my passion for thorough examinations, bespoke treatments and quick results. I also works in close partnership with vets, farriers, saddlers and other therapists to ensure a truly horse centered approach to recovery and performance.

The horse is always at the heart of my sessions, sessions are done at the horses pace and force is never used. Osteopathy is a gentle and effective form of manual therapy. I use specialist mobilisations and soft tissue releases alongside technical and unique (yet never forceful) joint manipulations to optimise straightness, balance and freedom.

My unique treatment style is an integration of my traditional osteopathic training adapted for horses as well as drawing on influence from other equine therapies (e.g. Masterson Method, Physiotherapy and Chiropractic).

Feel confident that I hold a first class BSc(hons) in Osteopathy, a Post Graduate Diploma in Animal Osteopathy and have done extensive and varied CPD courses. I am proudly RAMP registered giving you peace of mind that the highest level of professionalism, education and ongoing CPD standards are met.
