Sarah's Equine Massage & Manners

I have grown up with horses in my blood. From being put on horses with my parents as a baby, then getting my own pony at 2 and a half years old, through until now, I have never been without a horse. I cannot get by in life without them. I did try once. It lasted for a full 2 weeks!!!

​

I have always had an interest in training. But I've always thought there were better ways. As a child, I hated seeing horses whipped and beaten in order to get them to "do as they were told". I firmly believe in being their leader and having respect from them. But I also think they deserve respect. Respect is earned, and must go both ways for any relationship to work well. So I have studied many different trainers, searching for better and more gentle methods in order to improve my horsemanship and have better relationships with my horses. I also feel that there is no point in training a horse, without training the owner. If the owner has no understanding of how I've trained the horse and what the cues are, it ends up being a frustrating time for the owner, and a confusing time for the horse, as neither knows what the other is doing or asking. Which is why I insist on training both.

​

As for my massage side of things, I've always wanted to work with horses. I stopped working when I fell pregnant with my first child, and now that both my children are in school, I wanted to go back to work, but doing something for myself, on my own terms, and having flexible hours. So I thought why not combine my love of helping horses, with my want for a business? I stumbled upon my Equine Sports Massage Course online, and the light bulbs came on! So I signed up straight away and here we are! I am thoroughly enjoying spending my days making horses feel good, and I love seeing the results! Some changes in the horses, not just physically, but also mentally and emotionally, are worth their weight in gold! It's really amazing what massage can do.

​

So I am offering my services, as affordable as possible, in the hope that I can help many horses and owners have a better bond, feel better and enjoy their lives that little bit more!
