** Testimonial **
Jasper's owner reached out to me to see if Bowen could help with his anxiety! Here's what she has to say about it after three sessions.

"Jasper had an accident 2 years ago and injured his rear SDFT . At first it was touch and go whether he would be ok or pts. 2years on after rehab there was still a way to go. He was always tense, super high alert and very suspicious around new people. I mentioned this to Holly and that he could also be ‘bargy’ . So after 3 sessions of Bowen therapy with Holly what can I say?! He is a completely different pony… he is much calmer, his body is less tense( you could feel how tense his muscles were) his coat looks amazing, he has lost weight(had alot of fat pockets, cresty neck)He is a pleasure to handle and ride. My daughter hadn't seen Jasper for several weeks and she remarked how good he looked and had lost weight! Holly has worked miracles with Jasper, he immediately loved her- not the usual snorting and backing off ! I highly recommend Holly!"

Review:

Bowen therapy has been a game changer for Patrick! I was skeptical at first having not heard much about it before and it sounded like magic. Too good to be true right, wrong!
After the first appointment I already noticed a difference. He was calmer and starting to stretch through his neck which is something he has struggled with for a long time.
Holly is fantastic with Patrick. He definitely isn’t the easiest patient and she is so patient with him. She is a true horse woman!
Patrick has undergone a few treatments now and the difference is huge. He is more active behind, he stretch down and overall he is so much better in himself. He has become calmer overall. Thank you so much Holly! From me and Patrick

Driving past this clients house the other day I found myself smiling as i thought of her lovely horse Tilly.
I do this alot! So i want you all to know, when i think of your horse's, I'm smiling! 😄 so i thank you for choosing Bowen therapy and trusting me to help them, because it helps me too!

Testimonial:
“Bowen Therapy has helped Tilly immensely, just after 2 sessions I could see a significant difference. Tilly is a very athletic horse participating in endurance, jumping and dressage, this has caused her muscles to become tight. Bowen therapy has helped relax the muscles. I have found a difference in her ridden work as she is not as heavy in the left rein and she is more effervescent.”

“ I highly recommend Holly, she is very quiet and patient. Tilly does not always like to be touched by everyone; Holly allowed time to get to know her before she started the therapy. I have seen positive physical and emotional changes on Tilly by using Bowen Therapy. Holly is very knowledgeable, explains everything she is doing, and is happy to answer any questions.

**CLIENT FEEDBACK**
I don't often get a call to treat horses whose primary issue is girthiness.
However, many of the horses I treat exhibit signs of being girthy or grumpy when tacked up. Typically, after the initial treatment, owners report significant improvements, with their horses displaying greater happiness, relaxation, and ease during tacking up, or even showing no signs of girthiness at all.

Video of a previously very girthy pony that could nip when having the girth done up, standing loose and relaxed whilst her 8 year old rider tacks up by herself.

🥰🥰 these sorts of transformations are why I love my job.🥰🥰

Have you taken notice of your horse's posture lately?

The photo below is taken 1 week apart (before the first Bowen session and after the second)

This is a Dressage horse, he had no real issues but struggled with lengthening in general. After just the first treatment he went from constantly achieving 7s in the free walk to constantly achieving 8s! Which if you're in the dressage world you will know thats a double 👍 as the free walk is double marks. 👍

If your horse doesn't stand square it could be one of the first signs that something might be bothering them. So pay close attention as you could be one bowen treatment away from 4th place to 1st 🥇

Transformation and testimonial!

I have been treating this little donkey for a year now. He had a few treatments close together in the beginning, but now goes a couple of months between treatments as maintenance. The photos where taken at the first and sixth treatment.
Below is a review from his owner.


HOLLY CAME TO TREAT MY 28YR OLD RESCUE DONKEY WHO COULD HAVE BEEN BEST DESCRIBED AS A ‘ WONKY DONKEY’ WITH A VERY DIPPED BACK, FLAT FRONT FEET, BACK LEGS THAT CROSSED AND HIS DORSAL STRIPE RATHER THAN BEING STRAIGHT WAS A ZIGZAG. WITHIN 3 VISITS FROM HOLLY HIS DORSAL STRIPE WAS STRAIGHT, HIS LEGS SET ON EACH CORNER WITH HIM BEING ABLE TO STAND SQUARE, HIS DIPPED BACK WAS IMMENSLY IMPROVED AND THE DIFFERENCE IN HIS FRONT FEET GREATLY IMPRESSED MY FARRIER. MY DONKEY NOW RECEIVES REGULAR TOP UP TREATMENTS TO MAINTAIN HIS WELLBEING.

I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER DONKEY WHO IS TERRIFIED OF PEOPLE. DUE TO HOLLY’S REASSURING AND GENTLE WORKING TECHNIQUE AND HER CALM MANNER THIS HAS LEAD HIM TO TRUSTING HOLLY ALLOWING HER TO GIVE HIM BOWEN TREATMENTS ALSO. THIS HAS HELPED BOTH HIS ANXIETY AND TO RELAX AROUND STRANGERS.
