How I became involved with the Equine Touch

I would describe myself as “just an ordinary horse-owner” who discovered something extraordinary the day I was introduced to the Equine Touch.  It’s fair to say that I haven’t looked back since.

As a UK-based practitioner and tutor, I officially assisted the UK instructors with Level 1 and 2 courses. I also held  workshops and tutorials at Bristol Horseworld, a sanctuary for rescued and often abused horses and ponies, where I took students through their paces.

In May 2007, I was invited to attend the first ever Instructor Clinic in Texas and in August of the same year I immigrated to the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales.

I am motivated by a profound interest in the communicative, healing and restorative powers of touch when it comes to working with the horse’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. This extends to addressing  the horse’s related feelings of pain, stress, anxiety and fear.

I have worked extensively with traumatised horses, as well as sports, working and leisure horses. This has included the police horses of Bristol (UK), the stock of a Friesian stud and Save the Brumbies, a project that “gentles” brumbies for a new life of domestication

While their stories and circumstances are clearly very different, it’s a constant source of amazement how much their attitude and behaviour can change as even minor issues are resolved or reduced.
