Biography

As a Veterinrary Physiotherapist, Graduate Sports Therapist and Certified Saddle Fitter with more than 2 decades of applying my graduate level clinical knowledge and experience in addressing the horse, saddle and rider as a combination, I fully understand the unique demands of riding horses in terms of applying joint stretches and mobilisations, corrective exercise and functional training to improve both the horse and the rider. I provide a uniquely cutting-edge, biophysical individualised rider coaching service whereby, having assessed and addressed riding posture off the horse, together with any specific postural discomfort, I then use my mechanical horse simulator to assess postural precision in close proximity.
