About

Hi, I am Jess. I have been around horses my entire life. Taking early inspiration from my grandad who was in the racing industry and thanks to my father I was able to have my first pony at the age of 11, a Palomino Welsh C Mare called Nancy. The perfect princess pony.

I have been lucky enough to own, ride and train a number of horses over the years and also to work within point to point, showing and breeding yards.

My passion is dressage training in hand & ridden as well as horsemanship & liberty training. Since 2008 I have worked hard to study this way with horses and have had some personal success with it.

I also enjoy hacking my horses and just generally spending time hanging out with them.

I have always had a keen interest in the way the horse moves and interacts on a physical and emotional level. However it wasn’t until my a certain little mare came into my life in 2015 that I felt I really wanted to learn more.

It was clear to me that she had some physical issues which were highlighting her already sensitive nature and I wanted to do whatever I could to help make her more comfortable both physically and mentally.

Hola Senorita is sadly no longer with us, but without the challenges I faced with her I would not have embarked on this special journey as a professional.

I am now continuing my horsemanship journey with my young horse, Welsh Section D Gelding Eric, who provides me with learning opportunities each and every day.

My practitioner training in Equine Massage was with Centaur Equine Massage Training which is a registered training provider and the course has been externally accredited by the UK Rural skills, as an approved UK Rural Skills training school.

Over the course of a year I completed 3 course modules each with coursework submitted and written examinations, as well as practical training days. I also completed case studies which are detailed practical treatments and written studies of 10 different horses. Finally I completed a practical treatment exam and a written examination for both of which I received Distinction pass rates.

My studies so far enable me to offer the following manual therapies: sports, remedial and healing massage therapy, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilisations, craniosacral therapy, acupressure, energy healing and gentle stretching.

Due to further research and study I am also able to offer treatment with the following tools: The FascialEdge® tool, Heat Therapy, Kinesiology Taping, Balance Pads, Phototonic red light & PEMF (Pulsed Electromagntic Therapy). Find out more about these additional therapies here.

I am also an FEI Permitted Therapist, meaning I can work on horses whilst they are competing at FEI events.

I am passionate about CPD and constantly continue to extend my knowledge and skills in order to improve on how I can help your horses. You can find out about all the additional training I have done here.
