WELCOME TO EQUIZEN
PREMIUM EQUINE MASSAGE FOR ALL TYPES OF HORSE THROUGHOUT WEST SUSSEX AND THE WIDER AREA
Caring for your horses welfare is every responsible owners priority. We all want to do the very best that we can for them. Every day we ask them to perform for us, either in low stress situations such as hacking or with higher demands as athletes in different sporting disciplines.
Over time what we ask of our horses can take its toll and as with any other athlete they benefit from regular, planned massage therapy to compliment their exercise and training programmes.
EquiZen Equine Sports Massage is beneficial both for those who are aiming to give their horses maximum flexibility and to reduce the possibility of sporting injury, and also for those with horses that are recovering from injuries or who are older and suffer with mobility issues.
WORK
Horses in daily work - Equine sports massage can help horses in all levels of work, from world-class competitors to everyday hackers.
It has an emphasis on prevention of avoidable stresses and strains, promoting flexibility, reducing fatigue, and preparation for optimal performance.
REPAIR
Horses recovering from injury - Getting our horses back to the best of health as quickly as possible is where equine sports massage can play a vital role. It targets physical problems by increasing blood flow to the muscles, restoring correct body tone, balance and symmetry – enabling your horse to recover more speedily.
RELAX
Horses with pain or mobility issues - As they get older many horses show the natural signs of their age.
Sports massage can bring relief from pain and greatly improve general movement and flexibility, helping to restore your horse to a more normal level of functional activity and everyday comfort.
THE BENEFITS ARE CLEAR FOR EVERY HORSE
For all horses the benefits of equine sports massage from a fully qualified massage therapist are clear to see. Not only can it have a dramatic effect on your horses physicality, it can also greatly improve its state-of-mind and general well-being.

HIGH QUALITY, HIGHLY QUALIFIED EQUINE MASSAGE
I graduated from ETUK (providers of the very best training in Equine Sports and Remedial Massage available in the UK today) with a Distinction, and also have many years of equine experience at a professional level, both as a rider and owner.
I offer a massage therapy service that is tailored to the exact requirements of your horse. This will be done based on my knowledge of anatomy, physiology, rehabilitation techniques and my experience, but it can also be done in conjunction with your vet and farrier ensuring that the most appropriate treatment programme is created giving maximum benefit to both horse and rider.
I look forward to working with you and improving the physicality and general well-being of your horse.

Professional Equine Massage Therapist
During these uncertain times I will be abiding by COVID 19 secure guidelines and asking all owners to ensure that these guidelines are adhered to during my visits. This will ensure safety for all. I will be wearing gloves, face masks, and using hand sanitisers for cleanliness to minimise the risk of the avoidable spread of any viral contamination. I will be working within a two metre safe working distance wherever possible. Additionally I will undertake a quick risk assessment upon arrival at your stables to ensure the conditions are appropriate for a therapy session to be undertaken before starting.
I thank you for your cooperation.
