A static and dynamic evaluation will be carried out to assess signs of injury and uneven muscle development, and possible uneven stride or lameness. Background history will be taken, and an individualised treatment given, based on findings. After-care advice will also be given.
Equine Reiki
Equine Reiki is a form of energy healing in which the practitioner places their hands on, or close to the horse. Reiki assists the horse to rebalance itself, both physically and emotionally. Reiki allows the horse time to unwind, which can often be witnessed by the horse becoming noticeably relaxed. This type of equine therapy can also aid recovery from physical injury, and emotional trauma. A background history will be taken before this type of treatment.
Some benefits of Equine Reiki include:
Assists in the recovery from physical injury/horses on box rest

Helps horses with a history of trauma, abuse, or mishandling
