How long does a session last?

Anywhere between one and two hours. I charge by the 'session not the hour.

When will I notice a difference?

Sometimes there is an immediate notable improvement. Sometimes it takes a few sessions. Unless there is a direct trauma or accident, most soft tissue issues are accumulative. They didn't happen over night and they can take some time to improve.

How long do I have to wait until I can ride my horse after a session?

Healthy sound horses can be ridden after a session. It ii best to keep it nice and easy. Large figures or hacking are best immediately after. If you don't have time to ride, you need to hand walk within a few hours after a session.

My horse is off. Can I have you look at him without veterinarian approval?

No, your vet needs to clear your horse for massage. Sometimes your vet is in the process of testing your horse's response to a drug or therapy. Outside influences could alter the findings. It is always important that your vet rules out any underlying pathologies and disease.

Who are you recognised with?

The McTimoney Chiropractic Association.

The International Equine Body Worker Association.
