⭐️ My friend and colleague Angela has written a book! ⭐️ If you have or work with horses it’s worth a read!

"Is My Horse in Pain? A Guide to Assessing and Improving Your Horse's Musculoskeletal Health and Performance" by Angela Hall

This book is a fusion of practical horse management for owners, along with scientific insights and also serves as an invaluable resource for equine manual therapists and other professionals in the equine industry.

Throughout it emphasises the imperative nature of proper horse care and the areas that are frequently overlooked, whilst highlighting the essential role of well-trained manual therapists in maintaining a horse's health and performance.

With this book acting as their guide, equestrians will be equipped with the tools to become knowledgeable and empathetic advocates, ensuring the well-being and

🐎 About me! 🐎

I thought I would do a little about me and my qualifications and what I do in my sessions.

I graduated with a First Class Hons in Equine Therapy and Rehabilitation in 2017. I also have a Distinction in Level 5 Equine Massage with the Equine Massage Academy.

I have loved horses ever since I can remember and I have always been interested in gait analysis, saddle fit and designing exercise plans!

I am a member of the Institute of Veterinary and Animal Physiotherapists (IRVAP). I am also part of the Equine Massage Academy Association. Being part of these associations means I follow their regulations and have to do a set amount of Continued Professional development. This is important to make sure I’m up to date with current research and knowledge.

My sessions include the use of a thermal imaging camera which I use alongside palpations to assess where the horse is tight, atrophied (lack of muscle) or restricted. I particularly enjoy looking at the horses posture and how this can indicate tension areas.

I use a wide range of techniques to include: myofascial release, effleurage, compressions, cross friction fibre, spinal freedom, mobilisations etc to improve the horses musculoskeletal system.

I absolutely love my job, and it’s all thanks to my fab clients (horses and their owners!) Getting messages with updates and videos etc makes my day!

Thanks for reading and I look forward to working with you.
