The Equine Touch
Equine Touch is a very gentle, specific bodywork which places very simple but unique moves over the whole body before looking to concentrate on areas of concern. It provides a deep state of relaxation so that the body is able to release tensions, realigns muscle fibres to optimise recovery and performance, encourages lymphatic drainage to remove waste products such as lactic acid, and encourages circulation to feed the cells of the body. Horses are affected on a biological, emotional and spiritual level and Equine Touch has great benefits for all horses from top class performance horses to emotionally challenged rescue cases. Whatever your horse's story, Jo and The Equine Touch can help.
Saddle, Bit and Bridle Fitting, and Tack Security Marking
Any ill-fitting piece of tack at best will irritate your horse, and at worst will lead to physical changes in their body as the soft tissues and ultimately their bones adapt to accommodate it. Jo is happy to review your tack and horsewear choices with you, and assess their fit to ensure maximum comfort for your horse. Whilst Jo is with you, why not take the opportunity to have your tack security marked so you are more easily reunited with it should it be stolen.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is a hands-off, non-invasive method to monitor surface temperatures of your horses body using infrared imaging. By having a benchmark image report carried out, should there be any causes for concern a comparative report can be carried out which can then be used by your vet to pinpoint areas for further investigation.
Worm Control Advice and Worm Burden Testing*
Waiting for your horse to produce their sample for a worm egg count can be time consuming and many owners would much rather spend time riding their horse than following them around the field, or sat outside their stable, so let Jo do that for you. Why not treat your horse to an Equine Touch session whilst she waits?! Samples are sent to the lab the same day and results are usually back within two to three working days. Jo can advise on the best course of action following the results.
Management Advice
Your horse is affected by their environment. Ideally this effect is a positive one, however it can also be negative, which will then impact on their state of mind and eventually on their bodies as they find ways to cope, such as with stereotypical behaviours. Jo takes the horse's environment into account and approaches it with an open mind, understanding that we do not live in an ideal world and so often have to make compromises. Jo is able to suggest small, simple and yet effective changes, if required, which will help your horse better cope with their time in the stable and out in the field.
Bach Flower Remedies
Your emotional state can have a massive impact on yourself, and those around you, including your animals. Bach Flower Remedies help to balance your emotions so you are better able to cope with day to day challenges that life throws at you. Jo will hold a consultation with you and make a bespoke remedy which will last for approximately three weeks. Jo also stocks her own Nervous Rider Remedy for those suffering from confidence issues.
