Services

Pre event massage:
This is used to warm up and stimulate the muscles ready for exercise, and can be good for horses who do not behave well in the warm up ring before competing. The treatment will last about 20 minutes and will consist of fast and deep work throughout the body.

Post event massage:
The purpose of post event massage is completely different to that used for pre event work. Post event massage is a lot slower and is very relaxing for the horse. This massage will help to remove toxins (lactic acid) built up in the body during exercise and will help to reduce muscle sorness.

What is included:
The first session will normally take about 1.5 hours. I like to collect as much detail about your horse as possible, including medical history, any known injuries, your horse's normal workload, and any concerns you may have about his health. Subsequent sessions should last about 1 hour.During each session a full assessment will be carried out to monitor improvements as they occur. Then your horse will receive a full body massage, which may also include passive stretches where required. I can also advise you on work you can do yourself in between sessions. E.g simple neck or leg exercises you can perform on your horse on a daily basis

Price list:
Assessment only - £20.00. If your horse doesn't have any problems and he flies through his checkup then he may not need a massage unless you want him to have a special treat.

Assessment and full body massage - £40.00 (depending on distance required to travel).

Discounts are available for treating 2 or more horses on one yard.

Please note:
Prices are only a rough guide. I will give specific details on request.
