From my fellow practitioner Sue Falber Equine Touch Practitioner ❤️

Pony Pony Pony !
You may think they are tough, stoic and have skin like an elephants hide but trust me after 10 years as a qualified Equine Touch Bodyworker these little guys do get a pretty rough deal.
Often they are sold on as not-suitable for the riding school (normally due to pain issues caused by ill fitting saddles) or passed from home to home due to bucking / biting or bolting issues - again due to discomfort from pain. 'Being naughty' 'stubborn' or 'grumpy' is a label that is placed on them and a sign that you are failing them as a responsible pony owner to acknowledge that their is an underlying issue.

We need to do better by them ! Equine Touch Bodywork is not just for competition horses or for those injuries or lameness issues that present themselves. Equine Touch is for all horses and ponies - regardless of what they spend their days doing.

Now that summer is here why not treat the special pony in your life to an Equine Touch session. I cover Herts, Beds, Bucks and Northants and have appointments available weekdays, evenings and weekends.

🐴 Equine Touch is not massage nor is it physio It is a unique modality using a distinctive three part move that focuses on the soft tissue with the Practitioner working with (not on) the pony both on a physical and an emotional level. Whereas physio tends to be adjustments and moves over the body, and massage, tends to work deeply into the muscle which some horses may find too intrusive especially if sore or very tight causing them to evoke the cellular defensive mechanism where the horse feeling pain or fear, locks the bodyworker out.
🐴 Equine Touch sends a vibration into the fascial layer as a way of releasing and getting a lovely flow through the body.
🐴 The Equine Touch move with its soft tissue approach and unique combination of bodywork properties can, in many cases not only address established problems, but by locating them early enough, ‘head them off at the pass’ I.e address them before they raise their ugly heads and have a long-lasting or permanent address.
🐴 Many people discover Equine Touch because they've gone down the traditional vet and physio route in which they may have seen a few improvements but nothing long-lasting. Often the pony has been sore for quite some time and the pain has become locked into the cellular muscle memory so they continue to guard the area despite the injury having healed some time ago. Equine Touch can and does assist to reset this cellular memory
🐴 Remember the horse / pony is the ultimate prey animal and will not want to reveal vulnerability or weakness unless as the last resort. The only way they may condescend to showing you they are in pain is by bad behaviour, the horse does not recognise bad behaviour as a sign of weakness.
🐴 Because Equine Touch is an holistic modality it works on the whole body and so releases compensatory patterns that the body will have invoked as a coping strategy. A muscle that has become switched off due to pain will then cause other muscles and tendons to do the job that they are not supposed to be doing. Overuse or misuse then leads to injury.
🐴 Equine Touch Practitioners are trained to look at the additional areas of influence that can affect both the physical and emotional aspects of the pony and actively seek out advice from other Equine Professionals as part of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) in regards to :-

℧ Saddlefit
℧ Feet
℧ Teeth
℧ Rider
℧ Nutrition
℧ Environment

🐴 With the unique vibratory move into the 3D fascial layer Equine Touch does indeed reach the parts other modalities cannot reach and so often owners express surprise at how such a gentle non-invasive technique can have such a positive impact that lasts.
I am fully qualified, Insured and DBS checked.
I can also do talks and presentations to Riding Clubs and Pony Clubs.
Want to know more in how you can help your pony be happier and healthier - then feel free to contact me.
