EQUINE BODYWORK | TCVM | CLASSICAL HORSEMANSHIP

Rooted in Tradition. Guided by Science.

Equine bodywork with a focus on Traditional Chinese Medicine and soft tissue therapies is at the centre of my practice. The maintenance and/or rehabilitation of your horses’ fitness, health and overall balance is supported by combining an ancient healing modality with modern evidence based manual techniques.

Horse health is inseparable from their environment, the way they are trained, and the land they live on which is why classical horsemanship, ethical relationship-based training, and regenerative land stewardship are essential aspects of my integrated equine philosophy.

Soundness, Comfort & Wellbeing

Horses, like elite human athletes, deserve dedicated support to perform at their best and maintain lasting health and wellbeing. Even subtle discomforts, minor imbalances or small irregularities, when left unaddressed, can quietly restrict performance or develop into more significant problems over time.

This is where Traditional Chinese (Veterinary) Medicine proves particularly powerful. Its nuanced assessment methods excel at identifying disruptions in the body long before they manifest as visible physical issues, making it an exceptional tool for preventative care. Combined with evidence-based Western manual therapies, classical training principles, and a deep respect and understanding for the horse as a sentient partner, my integrated approach is designed to find the best solutions for both horse and rider — supporting not just recovery, but true, lasting vitality.
