"I was always a 'horsey girl' even though no one else in my family was. From a young age I was drawn to everything equine and had riding lessons etc. After I finished school I left Germany and came to Australia where I first worked for a Drover (lots of horse riding!). The Drover Bill Little is a very knowledgeable horse and stockman and in those 3 years taught me a lot about horse training and management in Australia. After that I came to Toowoomba to work on a thoroughbred yearling preparation and spelling farm. During that time I was introduced to various body workers and chiropractors and eventually decided that this could be something that I want to do! After some research I decided to go with Equestricare and I have never looked back."

"After graduating with Equestricare in December 2016 I started my business EM Equine Sports Therapy. I still kept on working in the thoroughbred industry and my colleagues were and are to this day hugely supportive of my business. I still work part time in pre training and hence most of my clients are racehorse trainers (TB and SB) but of course there are also a multitude of other horses and ponies with different “occupations” in my care.
Naturally I kept on going down the rabbit hole because in this industry you never stop learning and studying. Apart from learning new techniques I also deepened my anatomy knowledge by attending several dissections with Sharon May Davies and Maggie Ashley in the past. I’m also very interested in biomechanics and equine neuroscience. There is so much more to learn!"

"I love meeting new horses and their owners. Obviously seeing the difference in the horses sometimes after just one treatment never ceases to amaze me! As a therapist there’s always a bit of doubt whether or not we can actually help a particular horse and I’m still surprised every time just how well some horses respond. I love to watch them come out of their shell and show their personalities.
Another little perk is driving around discovering new places in my own neighbourhood and getting to chat with a lot of interesting people (the owners)."

"None in particular. Each horse has the potential to teach you a new lesson, no two are the same. They surprise me every day and it keeps me on my toes."

"I think it helps to have worked with horses in a professional capacity prior to starting your own business. Not only does it give you more confidence to handle some of the more difficult horses but also gives you good connections in the industry. I see a lot of new therapists struggle to get a foot in the door because they don’t know anyone.
Also never stop learning and put yourself out there! Get to know other therapists and watch what they are doing. It’s not a competition, we’re a community and all of us are here to make our horses life better."
