What to Expect from an Equine or Canine Therapy Session
Each session is tailored to your horse or dog’s unique needs, I will need to know if your horse or dog is on any medication. Their work history (horse), and a brief description of issues they are encountering. See your horse or dog’s gait/movement and I may ask to see your horse lunged and under saddle where appropriate.

“Following a traumatic accident my horse fractured his spine. Initially Sam gave me practical advice to help keep him comfortable and reduce the amount of muscle wastage as he was to sore to be touched. When therapy and movement rehabilitation began a plan was developed and sam has been there to ensure the process worked. My horse is now back in full work, amazing!”
