✨️Last Chance to Grab At Ease Liniment ✨

As some of you know, I am in the process of rebranding and redesigning my liniment range. Because of that, I am selling the very last of our current At Ease Liniment stock.

🌿At Ease Liniment is a natural, nourishing liniment designed to support tired, sore and hard working muscles.

Beautifully blended with plant oils traditionally used to soothe, warm and support circulation, it is a gentle but effective addition to your horse’s recovery and maintenance routine.

Loved by horses and owners for its calming feel and quality ingredients.
A simple product, made with care, to help keep your horse feeling at ease. 🌿



There are only 20 bottles left.
💰 $65 per bottle.
❤️ $15 from every bottle sold will be donated to Hokitika RDA.

These funds may go towards an equine therapy treatments for the incredible horses that support the RDA program.

I also want to say a heartfelt thank you to Hokitika RDA for their ongoing support and for the amazing care, attention and overall wellbeing they provide to their horses. What they do truly matters and I am grateful to be able to give back in this small way.

📍 Collection options
Bottles can be collected from Hokitika RDA on Tuesday afternoon.
Or feel free to message me via my Business page and I can organise drop offs next week if you are along my route.

🚗 I will be travelling Greymouth to Fox Glacier. (MO - SO)

🛒 Please purchase via my website
https://www.nelesvensson.com/shop/p/at-ease-liniment and let me know whether you would like to collect or prefer a drop off.

Thank you so much for supporting my business and supporting RDA Hokitika. It truly means a lot 🤍

Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that uses natural plant extracts for the healing and recovery process of physical and/or mental health conditions in humans or animals. I created my own liniment that is 100% natural and from NZ sources. A liniment that supports the healing process of the muscles

Professionalism matters. Deeply. 💛

It is always ok to question the professionals you work with.

Ask about their background, their education, their practical experience.
Ask about the cases they have worked on.
Ask why they choose certain methods or techniques.

And it is absolutely ok to say no if something does not align with your values, your ethics or what feels right for your horse.

Honesty, transparency and understanding should be the foundation of this industry.

There should never be hierarchy or dominance used to shut someone up.
From either side.
This goes both ways.

As horse owners and as professionals.
I see this happening far too often and honestly it blows my mind and gives me headaches. We chose to work in this industry to help and support horse owners. Many of us are horse owners ourselves.
We know how much they mean, how much responsibility they carry and how vulnerable it can feel asking for help.

Professionalism comes first. Always.

That means setting clear boundaries.
Being kind and fair.

Taking the time to explain and inform clients.

Knowing when to step back and refer on if something is outside your scope or not your line of work.

It means compassion, empathy and taking the time that horses and people deserve.

From my side as a professional and from your side as a horse owner, respect and open communication should never be optional.
They are essential.

West Coast & Ashburton & Sheffield Tour ☀️🐴

I’m heading back to the West Coast and down to the Ashburton area as part of my upcoming tour. 📍

All dates are locked in until my winter break as I am going back home.
This year to work with Activomed Germany in Aachen at TSCHIO 2026 at the FEI World Championships and representing New Zealand.

While I’m on the West Coast and in Ashburton, I’ll be offering my equine therapy and manual bodywork treatments, with PEMF sessions integrated into treatments where appropriate, using our Activomed covers.
I’ve been using the Activomed systems alongside my treatments for the past six years, and they’ve become a well established part of how I support horses in work, recovery, and overall wellbeing.

I’m also happy to offer additional consultations for anyone interested in the Activomed systems. As I am the only authorised partner for Activomed here in New Zealand, working directly with the manufacturer back home in Germany 🇩🇪.
If you’d like to learn more, see the systems in person, or chat about what might suit your horse and setup, appointments can be arranged while I’m in the area.

✨️What’s Included in Treatments

All treatments are tailored to each horse’s individual needs and may include a combination of the following:

➡️Manual & Bodywork Therapy
•Chiropractic adjustments and joint mobilization
•Stress point release and acupressure massage
•Soft and deep tissue massage as appropriate
•Myofascial release (MFD, e.g., cupping)
•Craniosacral therapy

➡️Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
•Stretching exercises and simple homework for owners
•Back on track plan and rehabilitation program
•Health & Performance Support
•Naturopathy and nutrition consultation
•Static saddle check and referral to a qualified saddle fitter (I work alongside)
•Novafon sound therapy
•Red light therapy
•PEMF sessions using Activomed covers

All treatments are adapted to the horse in front of me, supporting comfort, mobility, performance, and long-term wellbeing.

Horse people carry a kind of understanding that doesn’t disappear.

It’s not about how often you ride, how good you are, or how long you’ve been away. It’s a deep connection that lives underneath everything else. Once horses are part of you, they stay there.

Most people step away at some point. Life gets busy. Bodies change. Confidence changes. Priorities shift. That doesn’t mean the passion is gone. It means you’re human. Horses don’t judge that. They don’t keep score.

Coming back to horses is rarely about chasing where you used to be. It’s about returning with more awareness, more patience, and often more respect for yourself and the horse. You move differently. You listen more. You understand that not every day needs to look impressive to be meaningful.

Consistency isn’t “never failing”.
It’s never deciding you’re done.

Showing up again, in whatever way you can, is enough. A quiet ride. Time on the ground. Just being there. Passion for horses doesn’t fade, it waits. And when you’re ready to return, it meets you exactly where you are.

As an equine therapist, my passion lies in supporting the horse as a whole, with animal welfare and overall wellbeing at the heart of my work.

I take a holistic approach that respects the physical body, emotional state, and natural balance of each individual horse. ✨️

Every treatment is guided by listening, gentle support, and a deep commitment to improving comfort, soundness and quality of life.

Amazing news 🙌🏼✨️

I am able to bring in the "Red Light Therapy Torches" again.

A few of you have reached out to me and I haven't been able to import more due to the increase in the shipping costs.
But I found a way and I'm excited to share with you all that you will be able to order them again from mid February.

I have a pre-order list already if you definitely like one please message me directly.

"Some horses touch us so deeply that our hearts learn to beat in rhythm with theirs—and even when they’re gone, that rhythm never fades."

There’s a quiet kind of magic in the bond between a horse and a person.
It’s not built on words, but on trust, patience, and shared moments where hearts seem to beat in rhythm.

A horse doesn’t care who you are in the world—they care how you show up in their world. When your hand rests on their warm neck, when your breath matches theirs, when they choose to follow you without a rope, that’s love.

It’s a connection rooted in respect, deep as the earth beneath their hooves, and as free as the wind that carries them across the pasture.

Our Story

Hi and welcome to my page, I'm Nele and I live in New Zealand. Originally I'm from the north of Germany. I grew up with horses and they have always been a part of my life. When I was a teenager I started travelling and I fell in love with Canada. I met this wonderful family and had the opportunity to learn more about horses. I started working on a horse farm close by, the Camelot Equestrian Centre which is owned by Carol Spratt. Carol was a successful junior hunter and jumper rider back in the days. She made herself a name as a coach and breeder. She gave me the opportunity to work with the horses and to increase my understanding for it. After I finished my school and college back in Germany I wanted to travel and learn more about life and horses. So I spent 10 months in Australia and had the opportunity to work on a pre-training race track just out of Sydney.

In 2015 I decided to move to New Zealand where I met my husband Josh. After I successfully graduated from Equine Chiropractor and Massage Therapy School in British Columbia/ Canada, I started my own business as an Equine Therapist & Naturopath. Following in my family’s foot steps and passion in helping and making a change in the animals well being. I have been travelling all over the world to get more experience, more ideas and a better understanding for horses. I'm learning every day with and about my horses. I think you are a life time student if you work with them and I had so much support from all over and can't tell how grateful I am for the great advice and help over the last years. Horses were always my biggest interest, but it was not just the sport I loved. More likely working with them and seeing the cooperation when they are happy, comfortable and healthy. There is so much gratitude and satisfaction, especially when you treat your horse well and look after them. That's why I decided to start a new career as an Equine Therapist, to help and support horse owner and to guide them through natural horse care. But especially to help the horses and to take pain or discomfort from them. Firstly I created this page as an exchange for everyone who would like to get a deeper understanding for horses, natural horse care and for those who would like to share. I called it “The Equine Happiness Project” to let people be a part of my journey in learning each day and getting a deeper understanding for horses. Furthermore it is all about the horses care, health and happiness. It is kind of a project for the horse and you, but only at the start until you get an understanding for natural horse care and make a change. I started my own business “Nele Svensson- Equine Therapy and Naturopathy”. I would like to be a part of your journey with your horse. To guide and support you, from the right boarding, nutrition, exercise to the right care for your horses needs. I will be travelling all over the world to work with horses and their owners on a yearly basis. On my Website will be a calendar where you can see where I am going to be next. Please contact me if you would like me to come and see you and your horse. I would love to meet you. Your Nele
