So, what am I getting at?
I’ve been a horse girl my whole life. I perched on the back of a little Welsh pony before my legs even reached the bottom of the saddle flaps. My bedroom walls were plastered with Horse & Pony magazine posters. My biggest dream was to grow up, live in the country, and have horses of my own (check!). Horses have always been the thing that carried me through the hard times.
But here’s the thing. I’m not just a horse lover. I’ve been lucky enough to make this my work. For over a decade I’ve been learning everything I can about equine bodywork and biomechanics. How horses are supposed to move, what goes wrong, and how to keep them strong and sound for the long haul.
And then there’s social media. My feed is wall-to-wall horses. High level dressage. Explosive barrel runs. Everything in between. But I’ve noticed something I can’t unsee. More and more, I see horses being moved in ways that will break them down. Movements that create pain instead of freedom. Even at the very top of the sport. The worst part? Those movements are being rewarded. World Champions. Gold Medallists. Smiling faces around a horse who is probably already chronically lame. Injections have become the norm at many barns. Some barns have "Injection Day" like it's a monthly celebration.
I can’t just keep scrolling by. I can’t pretend it doesn’t matter.
So here it is. Every great journey begins with a single step, and this is mine: The Sound Horse Project.
This isn’t about any one breed or discipline. It’s not about ribbons or medals. It’s about every horse, at every age, and keeping them sound as they grow older.
Here’s how it works. You send in a video of your horse. I assess it using my unique BiomEq scoring system. You get a score, plus feedback on how to improve. You can follow up with me weeks or months later and see if your score has changed, and how. It's a ladder to longevity for your horse.
What’s the prize? Honestly, it’s knowing you’re giving your horse the best chance at a long and comfortable life. That’s it. No money. No medals. Just sound horses.
If that speaks to you, welcome. You’re in the right place. There will be more information soon.
