ABOUT

Every appointment with a client is tailored to the individual. I begin the session with an overall static assessment, making notes of areas I feel need some attention. For example, areas with greater tonicity or tension. Following on from the static assessment I conduct a dynamic assessment, looking at the way the horse moves and how their static confirmation affects their movement.

 

Once I have an understanding of the horse’s ability, I then decide which are the primary areas to focus on to help boost performance, ease discomfort and help ensure the horse can move as freely as possible.

 

At the end of the session, I refer back to the owner and give them a detailed description of the session, as well as some tips they can use to help keep their horse in the best possible condition.
