Sharon Moore Equine Coach and Equine Sports Massage Therapist -Staffordshire and surrounding areas. Qualified and insured and ride. field or school.

I am a qualified Equine Sports Massage Therapist and BHS Stage 2 Coach, and am fully insured for all my services. I am a member of the International Association of Animal Therapists and The British Horse Society which means that I do regular training to ensure that my skills and knowledge are up-to-date. New services will become available in future so keep a look out for updates and offers. I have been riding all of my life and decided to train for equine qualifications as part of a career change plan. I gained my BHS Stage 2 riding and care in 2015 (with distinctions), and then the Stage 3 care and lunge in 2016. I then focussed on competing my own horse before achieving the Stage 2 coaching in May 2022 and am now training for the Stage 3 coaching. I currently compete in endurance and wanted to be able to aid my horse's recovery after a long ride, and keep her in prime condition. Hence I decided to add massage therapy to my skills! I completed my Level 3 diploma in Equine Sports Massage and Rehabilitation Therapy at Meadowbrook Academy in May 2022 with 98% on the assessment day. Please contact me to find out how I can help you with your horse's performance and welfare through massage therapy, and through coaching in flatwork, jumping and groundwork. I am insured for lunging and groundwork if you need someone to do this for you. I am also insured to ride your horse but have decided to (temporarily) withdraw this service due to recovering from injury. I currently cover Staffordshire and can travel further for group bookings. https://iaat.org.uk/

Please note that horses need to be clean and dry for massage sessions. It is impossible to perform, and rather uncomfortable for them, if they are not. I also need an area to carry out massage protected from the elements as much as possible i.e. out of the rain or heat, and with sufficient space to perform massage and stretches safely. A stable is fine provided I can move around your horse safely. Loosely tied, or held, outside of the stable is also fine (dependent on weather!). I will ask you to walk and trot your horse for the initial assessment. Preferably a flat surface such as school or yard but we can work with whatever space you have available. Horses need to be registered with a vet prior to massage. You do not need vet permission for a massage unless there is an underlying health issue. I will take full history details during my initial assessment and ask that you sign a waiver that all relevant information has been given to me. Coaching can take place in any suitable area that you want to ride in e.g. Note that I do not have access to a school so you will need to book a school if required at your cost. I will coach in any weather provided it is safe to do so.

24h notice of cancellation is required for all services. Cancellation at short notice will incur a 50% fee.

What have I been doing lately? Seems not very much horse wise but then I've been busy! I'm not currently working so SME is on hold (maybe permanently). Maybe I'll change this page to a blog for my horses 🤔 Haven't decided anything definite as yet. My hip replacement recovery is progressing well with going to the gym for strengthening. I can run again which I haven't been able to do for ages 👌 Spirit is now retired from competition and I'm trying to get her back into hacking. It's slow progress due to other commitments. I've also been doing a little bit of work with Amber but she's only just 4 so no rush. Here's a little video of how long reining Spirit goes at the mo. Sometimes Amber will stay eating grass, other times she wants to join in 😆 Yes, I could shut her in the other field but there's just the two of them and she dare not invade Spirit's space!

How is it 6 months since I rode?! Ok, we moved to a new area, the girls are out in a field rather than a livery yard, I had a hip op and life just got busy. I was told not to ride for 12 weeks but my muscles still felt weak at that point. Plus weather was bad and field maintenance to do. I have been doing some lunging and longreining mostly with Spirit in the hope she'll be sound to do more this year 🤞and a little bit with Amber but mostly she's just been a young horse enjoying any attention she gets. She's like a big puppy following me around demanding fuss and treats 🥰 we've been working on separation so I can take one out. Spirit seems happy to be left or go out.... especially if she gets to graze the verges 😁 Amber is keen to go out but outraged at being left behind....mega tantrums sometimes 🙄 Hopefully I'll find time to start riding again soon. Our hacks might have to be ride and lead!

⛔BREAKING NEWS ⛔

The British Horse Society welcomes UK Government’s decision to abolish deadline to save vital off-road routes in England, after more than six years of lobbying for change.

We are hugely relieved to learn that the UK Government has today announced its decision to repeal the 2031 Cut-Off date. This means that thousands of rights of way across the UK will no longer vanish in seven years’ time, helping more people in the future to access the great outdoors and all the benefits this brings.

Mark Weston, Director of Access at The British Horse Society says: “Recent years have illustrated just how vital off-road access is for the safety, health and wellbeing of horse riders and carriage drivers, as well as walkers and cyclists.

The government’s intention to repeal the 2031 cut-off date is a huge step. Not only does it mean that our routes can be protected for future generations to enjoy and treasure, but it is also very important for the safety of the general public.”

It's the time of year when I normally reflect on how well my competition season has gone....but there hasn't been one this year! However, it's certainly been a year of change and challenges. I've been doing rehab work with Spirit all year and she's looking stronger and hopefully will be ready for endurance again next year 🤞 Amber has been with me for 8 months now! Time has flown with her and we've done lots of groundwork, had full tack on, leaned over her. I didn't quite get on her as every time I was going to something exciting was happening at our yard and the time just wasn't right. And obviously there's still time this year.....but my EXCITING NEWS....we've all moved to Herefordshire!! The girls have their own field and are settling in nicely. Although a hunt ride went past yesterday which caused a lot of excitement and they both got very sweaty! The plan was to give them a few weeks off to settle in before starting some work again. Now for the not so exciting news (aka bad news)....I need a hip replacement and I've had a really fast referral so that's happening at the end of this month!! Looks like the girls are getting a much longer holiday than originally planned. So my temporary business closure remains in place. Hopefully next spring I can organise some days to go over to Staffordshire to see my existing clients, and hopefully expand into Herefordshire too. Pics of the girls enjoying their new field with plenty of grass 🥰

I am temporarily closed until further notice. Some exciting and not so exciting news coming soon!
