Bodywork & Behaviour Equine Services

About Kay,

Horses have always been a passion of mine, although I wasn’t lucky enough to grow up with them. When I came to New Zealand in 2016, the opportunity to finally own my own horses presented itself, and I jumped at the chance. In 2019 I decided to finally follow my childhood dreams and make efforts to train for a career working with horses ....enter COVID.... my plans were delayed a few y

ears, but not derailed, in 2023, after 18 months of rigorous study, internships and externships, I now have the knowledge and skills to finally make my dreams a reality! I have trained in Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology taping, and Surefoot Pads, I studied Equine Behaviour, Training, and Welfare at Massey University, and had an introduction to Masterson Method. I also spent the summer of 22/23 as the working student of Russell Higgins, at his property in Waikato, New Zealand. The biggest achievement to date, that I am most proud of, is certifying with the Equinology Equine Bodyworker certification course, after 9 intensive days of tuition and 6 months of extensive externship. The Equinology Approach is a method of Bodywork that utilises a combination of sports massage movements, range of motion exercises, and deep tissue work to give the best results for your horse.
