Fleur - 17 yr old pleasure horse
Fleur was diagnosed with arthritis in both hocks and one foreleg.
She is a very genuine horse who tries to carry on no matter what. The result was a bad back as well as arthritis. After veterinary treatment for the arthritis something had to be done about her sore back. After a course of 3 massages a week for three weeks then two for two weeks then once a week, plus long lining every other day, she is now back to her old self and can now be ridden daily without pain.




Froggy 14 yr old Show Hunter
Froggy had trouble keeping himself in self carriage without stumbling. He had knots in his shoulders and sore hips. After just a few massages to ease out the knots and spasms he is now able to fully extend his shoulders which was the cause of his tripping.





Lionel 16 yr old Thoroughbred x Irish Draught ex Eventer
Lionel had injured his near hind which was initially diagnosed as an insect bite (the wound was so small).  Unfortunately this turned out to be a fractured splint bone (fractured in 3 places).  He underwent 4 hours of surgery to remove 3/4 of the splint bone and had a pin put in to hold the remaining splint bone to the cannon bone.  He was a very poor horse for a while.  After a course of massage he is now out in the field and able to enjoy his retirement as can be seen from the picture taken just 3 months after his operation.


Malone 7 yr old (going on 2) Thoroughbred x Irish Draught

Malone behaves like a two year old.  When purchased he was very crooked behind and his pectoral muscles were under developed.  He had severe problems at the base of his withers and around the point of hip.  After a course of massage treatments he is a much happier and straighter horse.  His pectoral muscles are more developed and he may even have grown up a bit!!
