The treatment
A typical treatment consists of Sam watching the horse moving, in both walk and trot. Discussing with the owner about previous history, any relevant injuries, daily workload, routine, and if the horse has regular visits from other professionals such as saddle fitter, dentist, farrier. After this initial background information has been given then the full body treatment, focusing on the problem areas, with stretches is carried out. Suggested groundwork and ridden exercises to support ongoing muscle development between recommended treatment sessions are given. These exercises help maintain and enhance the benefits of the therapy.
Aftercare
We recommend a treatment every three months for a maintenance program to keep your horse in top condition. After the initial treatment has been carried out a tailored treatment plan can be arranged for horses that need regular visits for specific, problem areas.
