Equine Sports Therapist BSc (Hons) degree:
I've completed a 3 year degree in Equine Sports Therapy where graduation will take place later this year. During the 3 years I covered a range of modules including functional anatomy, health management, physiology, saddle fitting, farriery, nutrition, behaviour, health management, anatomy and physiology, sports medicine, applied behaviour and welfare, p
erformance nutrition, massage and performance therapy, biomechanics, food technology and finally rehabilitation and performance. All these topics interlinked and help enhance my knowledge and understanding which allows me to look at the equine as a whole. Equinology Equine Body Worker (EEBW):
During my degree I qualified as an Equine Body Worker through Equinology, taught my Debranne Pattillo. The course covered a variety of stretches and techniques including cross fibre and direct pressure to target areas of restriction during a full body equine sports massage. Equinology Myofascial Release Course Level 1 and 2:
Following the massage course with Equinology I'm now in the process of undergoing both level 1 and 2 Myofascial Release course taken by Ruth Mitchell-Golladay to enable an alternative to massage or to use the two combined depending on the needs of the horse. About me:
I have 20 years experience owning, riding, teaching and training a variety of horses including youngsters. Getting my first youngster at the age of 16 helped progress my knowledge first hand into training and backing young horses. Over the years I have worked across all disciplines with particular reference to Show jumping, Endurance and Carriage driving. Setting up my own private rehabilitation & training yard in 2020 has allowed me to continue helping horses & owners to progress.
