About Me
I want to help owners understand the subtle signals that horses gives us that sometimes humans might miss. My aim is always to increase comfort for the horse, before and after a competition, and to help improve their range of movement.
I believe in supporting owners to reach their goals and I help all horses, not just competition horses.

Work Placements
Physiotherapy
I worked with dogs and horses suffering with pain after surgery. I also learnt about the importance of law and legislation in a physiotherapist working environment, as well as observing a wide range of alternative therapy such as laser therapy and tense machines.
​
John Jenkins Racing Yard (Kings Ride)
I worked at the John Jenkins Racing Yard (Kings Ride), a Hertfordshire-based racehorse training yard. This entailed long hours of work from 4am to 6pm. This helped me expand my knowledge on the racing industry and help me to better understand the biomechanical demands of the race horse.
​
Newmarket Equine Hospital
Assisting in vet callouts, maintenance and restocking in the dispensary as well as standing in on surgeries, I learnt a wide range of treatments and diagnostics used in the equine industry. Because of this experience I now know how to administer vaccinations, many procedures for surgery as well as how to manage a range of diseases. This enable me to better understand the needs of a horse in rehabilitation.
