Kara Stephens ESMT - Equine Sport Massage

10/02/2026

This time of year can be tough on our horses (and us!)

Cold mornings, stiff joints, muddy fields, reduced turnout and changes in workload can all lead to tight muscles and compensatory patterns.

Whether we’re bringing our horses back into work after a winter break or ploughing on through a tough winter, it is really common to notice a bit more stiffness, tightness, or unevenness in the muscles.
Massage treatments can help support:
· Muscle comfort and relaxation
· Mobility and flexibility
· Helping the body adapt gradually to increased workload
· Recovery from work
· General wellbeing through the colder months

If your horse feels a little tighter than usual right now, it might be time to give them some extra TLC.

February is fully booked but the diary is open from March so feel free to message me to book or ask any questions.

As the year wraps up (and my hands finally get a rest), I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all my amazing clients.

Thank you for trusting me with your horses, for the endless cups of tea, the chats and catch ups and for generally being such a lovely bunch of humans. I genuinely couldn’t ask for better clients, or better horses!

I’m so grateful for your loyalty, your support, and for keeping me busy doing a job I absolutely love. It really doesn’t feel like work when I get to spend my days with horses and such good people.

Wishing you and your horses a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year, may 2026 bring fewer tight hamstrings, relaxed backs and many more fun days with our beloved horses.💚

Cheers everyone🥂

Firstly, a big thank you to all our wonderful clients—both long-standing and new—for keeping us so busy, especially on our northern trips!

These visits fill up incredibly fast, and while we always do our best to accommodate everyone, it’s not always possible. This is particularly frustrating when we receive last-minute cancellations.

We completely understand that life (and horses!) can be unpredictable. However, we kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us time to offer the slot to someone on the waiting list and adjust our travel routes accordingly.

📌 Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice may be charged for the missed appointment (at Kara’s discretion).

A quick note on payments:

To help us run smoothly and efficiently, please ensure all treatments are paid for on the day or in advance. We accept:
• 💳 Bank transfer
• 💷 Cash on the day

💰 Treatment Fees:
• £50 per horse
• £45 per horse when treating two or more horses at the same yard.

We always try to group visits where possible, therefore a single horse may share a visit with an another nearby yard/horse to give you a reduced fee. If you’re unsure about your appointment fee, feel free to message us in advance.

Our diary is now very full, and we’re almost fully booked until July! If you’d like to secure an appointment, please get in touch as soon as possible.

Thank you! 🐴😊
