Clients
My equine massage clients are wide ranging, from the paddock horse to the athletic endurance horse. Listed below are just a few examples (please note that names have been changed for privacy):
- Alpha — a 12 year old 15hh thoroughbred mare, medically diagnosed with separation at the sacro-iliac joint. In conjunction with the attending Vet, specific soft tissues are addressed to make this horse more comfortable.
- Ramses — a 10 year old 15.2hh Australian stock horse gelding. This horse comes from a hard working cattle station, and monthly massage sessions are provided to help him maintain flexibility.
- Celeste — a 16 year old 14.2hh quarter horse mare. This horse is used for pleasure trail riding and has some pelvic and stifle issues. Her massage sessions are aimed at providing comfort and muscular release.
- Teddy — a 14 year old 10hh miniature pony mare with chronic founder. This is a little miracle pony as after years of suffering terribly from founder and being unable to take more than just a few steps, she now gallops freely in her paddock.

My animal communication sessions are also quite varied, and include both domestic animals and livestock. Once again, here are just a few examples:
- Sultan had always been difficult to load into a horse float, with every attempt ending in serious injuries to Sultan. His owner rang me out of despair after Sultan sliced open his hind leg down to the bone after trying to load him when moving properties. I immediately did a remote communication session with Sultan to determine what was happening. I rang his owner back 15 minutes later, describing exactly where the float was located, how the shadows fell onto the inside walls and also describing the other horse that was already waiting inside the float. I then asked the owner to move the horse float to a very specific area where no shadows were cast, to load Sultan first and then the other horse. His owner was astounded when Sultan gracefully walked into the float without any complications, where she could then move him to the safety of her new property and obtain veterinary care for his injuries.
Rosy’s story is one that I hold to heart as she has been part of our family since she was a kitten. Rosy loves to explore the open spaces surrounding our very large property, but is never away for more than half a day at a time. In this particular instance she had not returned home for 5 days, and I knew that she had picked up a paralysis tick and was finding it difficult to return home. In this communication session, I focused on locating her and providing her with guidance to return home. What the session revealed was that the effects of the paralysis tick had well and truly taken their toll. She had totally lost her voice and could only just pull herself forward on her belly, using her two front legs. The paddock where she was located was extremely overgrown and was not accessible by us. So focusing all my strength and willpower onto Rosy, I guided her home. Five hours later, we saw movement at the edge of the paddock where to our relief we found an extremely weak Rosy. We rushed her to the Veterinary hospital where she was treated for tick paralysis, returning home after four days of slow recovery.
