Your feedback is important to us!
I’m so pleased with him Wendy, incredible difference after yesterday’s treatment. Gorgeous boy. Prior to his previous treatment he was headshy around his ears, and following that treatment we’ve been having the most amazing forelock scratchies
Thank you for everything you do for my beauties.
Sarah says she feels less tense. You must have magic fingers!
Wendy is Extremely knowledgeable and thorough . Takes as much time as is needed . Really understood the needs of my horse and her individual issues and requirements. Highly recommend.
Wendy seriously provides a head to tail service! Not just when she's physically treating my horse but even when I message her with a question or video of a issue!
My girl is quite guarded and never fully relax's in her treatment but Wendy has slowly and calmly cracked this, leaving me with a well and truly relaxed and happy mare.
I have also had my dog treated multiple times, so I can 100% recommend for horses and dogs!
Wendy spent over 2 hours working on my horse in a calm and methodical way. He had a top to toe assessment and treatment! Wendy contacted my vets before she treated him and provided them with a written report afterwards. She has also been doing regular ultrasound treatment on one of his check ligaments alternating this with an Arc Equine, which she has also hired out to me so that I can continue with regular sessions. We have also had a groundwork session in the school utilising focus exercises and poles to increase proprioception and flexibility. All of Wendy’s treatments are very affordable and the aftercare contact and support is invaluable.
I've been using Wendy for about 12 months now, the difference in my horse is amazing !
Once again Wendy saved the day with my boy Eric. He had been in some discomfort and difficult to ride. I rode him a couple of days after her treatment and he felt so loose and comfortable and his happiness was noticeable by everyone who was riding with me. Thank you so much Wendy for making Eric so happy and in turn making me soooo happy.
Thank you Wendy for coming to see Hottie yesterday, I know he's not the easiest, but your kindness and patience, doesn't go unnoticed, and thank you for explaining what you were doing, and what you had found, it made me realise that I did need you to put him right.
Just an update, I am so grateful to you for actually knowing your job, I recommend you to everyone that asks for a physio. Hots took a big mouthful of feed this morning which he hasn't done for a few weeks now, he can clearly eat without pain, you are just remarkable... I love him dearly he is the reason I get up every day, the reason I break my back cleaning housed to give him what he needs, thank you once again.
He was awesome again today, such a different horse!...
I can't explain how different he feels, it's like a totally new horse!
