Equine
Gentle and effective therapy

Permission from your vet is required before booking
Whether your horse is sound, a little “off” or lame I must have your vet’s permission to perform massage before treatment. while massage is non-invasive and generally safe, the Vets act * specifies that therapists must be fully qualified to give treatment to healthy horses but permission can be given to students in training. Once I have fully qualified permissions are only required when treating a horse in rehabilitation stages and usually as part of a professional team. Please choose a form type below (click on moving images).
My training is through Centaur Equine Massage Training, regulated by UK Rural Skills. I have so far completed all “hands on” training days and all written modules. I am in the process of completing 10 case studies and then to sit a final exam.
* RCVS supporting guidance to veterinary act 1966, 2015 exemptions 19.24.
