Pleased to announce I have renewed my membership with the NAVP for another year.

What does this mean?
It means I have met their requirements for CPD which is roughly 25 hours a year. CPD plays a pivotal role in ensuring I am up to date with my knowledge and skills allowing the gold standard of treatment for your horses/dogs/sheep/cows!
I also hold insurance to be able to treat your animals safely and is recognised by the NAVP.
Finally the NAVP is a recognised professional organisation that upholds the gold standard of practice within our profession and is widely recognised by veterinary surgeons and insurance companies.

I am looking forward to 2026 and cannot wait to continue treating lots of incredible animals!

We would love it if you would like to nominate us !

Equine Therapist of the Year sponsored by Equicantis

Behind many happy, comfortable horses is a skilled equine therapist quietly doing the work, improving movement, supporting recovery, and helping horses feel and perform at their best.

This award is about recognising those equine therapists who put horse welfare first. They take the time to really understand each horse, work alongside vets and owners, and make a genuine difference through their hands-on care.

Whether they work independently, run a one-person practice, or support yards and riding schools across the country, equine therapists play a vital role in keeping horses healthy and comfortable.

If you know an equine therapist who goes above and beyond, someone you trust with your horse, who explains what they’re doing and why, and who truly cares, we’d love to hear about them.
Nominations are now open for Equine Therapist of the Year, sponsored by Equicantis.

👉 Please share this post, tag an equine therapist in the comments and nominate someone who deserves recognition via our website

Work doesnt stop because it’s winter. ❄️ As the event season is fast approaching, winter showjumping is in full swing and we are all catching glimpses of the summer season it’s time to knuckle down and get ready.

We are here to help! From helping build fitness programs to regular treatments ensuring those niggles are treated and sorted alongside your vets/farriers/coaches you can head into the season knowing your horse is in tip top shape!

Building the solid foundations and ensuring your horses are balanced, supple, fit and strong allows the building blocks to achieving your goals. We work with you and your horse to create an individual plan with treatments tailored to their needs and comprehensive exercise programs for you to follow at home.

The Groundwork Series ✨

10/01/2026

The importance of ground work…

We are going to start a series over the next few weeks of different exercises you can do on the ground to help build strength/balance/coordination/symmetrical muscle development and manners

Building a solid foundation without the pressure of a rider is so important especially for youngsters starting out. So let’s dive into groundwork and realise it can be as fun as riding!

So we continue …that strange period between Christmas/New Year and back to work. But we are now back to work and almost fully booked for January and February so don’t miss out …

Simple but effective post to show the impact of a tendon injury.

We will share a post later to explain how physiotherapy can help with tendon injuries!
