Equine Osteopathy

Horses are often trained with the same intensity as a human athlete, so it should come as no surprise that they too suffer from structural imbalances.
The video on the right shows Claire treating a number of international horse athletes and helps to explain how she can help you get the best out of your own horse. Sometimes this entails treating the rider as well - it isn't uncommon for an apparent problem in the horse to be caused by restrictions in the rider's own body.

What to Look For

Here are just a few of the things you might notice in your horse:

Osteopathic treatment of horses
  • Unusual behaviour patterns
  • A tendency to go better on one rein than the other
  • A reluctance to extend
  • Unexplained unlevelness
  • Back pain

Osteopathic treatment can deal with these and a host of other problems without recourse to drugs.
