With over 18 years equine experience covering a range of disciplines, breeds, training methods and levels, I can bring a high level of understanding alongside my qualifications. I pride myself in being able to use my training to undertake a problem-solving method when treating horses. A horse's natural instinct can mean that they hide issues and compensate until it gets to a point that they hurt too much. This often means that the issue shown, such as forelimb lameness or shoulder tension, is not the causal problem, with further investigation required.

Whilst taking a short break from horses, I qualified with a first-class honours BSc degree in Agricultural Sciences and Land Management from a combination of Harper Adams University College and the University of Northampton (Moulton College).

I began training in equine studies in 2016 with Wolds Equine Rehabilitation and Training Centre, with whom I qualified with Distinction in 2018.
During this time I was required to undertake hours of practical work, in depth case studies and extensive research into the science and basis for everything I do. Since that point I have undertaken a large amount of training into a range of diagnostic skills and treatment techniques, such as Ultrasound, TENs, Animal Physiotherapy, Equine Behaviour and Psychology and Genetics CPDs.

I am very proud of the fantastic reputation Equiflex has developed with its customers, both equine and otherwise!
