Capable Hands by Kerry Smith Equine Bowen Therapist and professional dog carer based on Dartmoor. I offer Equine Bowen Therapy and small-scale dog care from my rural Dartmoor base.

Gentle, effective support for horses, and calm, reliable care for dogs shaped by experience, empathy and a deep respect for animal wellbeing. With a lifetime spent around animals, my work is guided by patience, observation and deep respect for horses and dogs as thinking, feeling beings. My focus is always on creating a safe, peaceful environment where animals can relax and thrive.

"Jack had a fabulous time with Capable Hands by Kerry Smith. He's never been to dog day care so it was his first time at the age of 11 years old. Kerry sent me updates and pictures of how settled he was. When I went to pick him up he just wanted to go back in! Thanks so much!"

Equine Bowen therapy is effective when horses are showing signs of discomfort, unevenness, reluctance in their work, or changes in posture or behaviour. Because Bowen influences the whole body rather than a single area, it can be particularly helpful for horses who have developed long-standing patterns or compensations.
Please get in touch if you think I may be able to help.

Over the years, I’ve worked with many horses and dogs who needed calm, capable support - and with owners who wanted to feel confident about the care their animal receives.

I’ve now brought all of that together in one place.

My new website shares more about Equine Bowen Therapy, dog day care and boarding, and the way I work.

If you’d like to learn more, you can visit: https://capablehands.co.uk/

And a big thank you to Sorcery Design for bringing my new brand and website to life!

Infectious post- Bowen snoozing 💗

Making the most of lockdown when I can't treat client's horses to spend some time with my own lovely horse! Feeling very fortunate to live in this part of the country right now.
Take care everyone!

Bowen therapy is truly fabulous- straight from the horse's mouth!

Bowen is suitable for horses and ponies of any size, whether young or old, in work, retired or on box rest! Great for releasing tension both physical and emotional, treating specific injuries and for boosting general well being.

Please take a look at my website to see how Bowen therapy could help your horse. Thank you.
