Frequently Asked Questions

What breeds of horses/horses with chosen disciplines do you treat?

 Majestic Horse Functional Therapy treats all breeds of horses; all ages; and all horses with chosen disciplines including (but not limited to):

• retired and companion horses
• performance and competition horses (Eventing, Dressage, Polo, Show Jumping, Western)
• Pony Club horses
• Riding School horses and RDA horses
• Race horses
• rescue horses.

All horses benefit from an equine osteopathic approach.

Will you travel to me?

Yes! I prefer to travel to treat your horse/s at your property, agistment centre, friend's paddock, and during competition days (for Pre-Event and Post Event massage). I find that treating a horse in an area he/she feels comfortable in, is the best setting and promotes relaxation. A horse being treated in its home environment should ideally be separated from other horses (to prevent curious paddock companions interrupting the treatment). 

What if it is an extremely hot or windy day or a storm is predicted?

Weather is a consideration. If it is an incredibly hot day, I will organise to treat during the cooler times of the day if possible and always under shelter (even the shade of a tree if there is no stable or covered area available). If it is an extremely windy day, the horse should be sheltered from the wind as much as possible, as wind can agitate a horse or make it fidgety/nervous. If a severe storm is predicted, I will reschedule with the owner as loud thunder can scare horses and impede the horse's ability to relax. In these situations, I will liaise with the horse owner to determine the best course of action for their horse.
