Treating Your Horse

What To Expect From a Visit

A visit consists of the following:

• History of your horse
• Palpation
• Static conformation
• Dynamic Conformation
• Tack fit analysis
• Equine Bowen Treatment
• Aftercare and Suitable Exercises given
• Vet report and / or referral if required

A visit takes approximately one and a half hours per horse.

Changes are usually observed after the first treatment. However with chronic cases 2-3 treatments, usually at weekly intervals may be required to achieve lasting results. 

Competition horses who have a demanding schedule can be treated more often. In my experience, riders who compete regularly are usually in tune with their horses to know when to arrange their next visit. If for example their horse's performance begins to deteriorate, or their stride shortens, they will book an appointment. Competition horses like all athletes have more demands placed on their body. Also, because their fitness is at such a level that prolonged periods of no work may mean reduction of performance, it is important that they have regular treatments. Many of my clients who compete, book a visit one to two weeks before an important show or qualifier. 

Please note that you will need to book well in advance before your horse competes in a particular show to ensure I am free to treat on any particular day.
