Changes under saddle
Resisting the contact, falling in or out, struggling on one rein, or not tracking up the way they used to.

physiotherapy
Yard visits across Warwickshire for racehorses, eventers, showjumpers, happy hackers and much-loved veterans. Hands-on treatment, Class 4 laser and a plan you can follow between visits.
It doesn't matter how big or small
Physio can benefit every horse and pony.
I treat horses at their own yard, where they're relaxed and I can see them move on their usual surfaces. Every session starts with your horse's history and your vet's notes, then a full assessment of posture, movement and muscle tone before any treatment.
I work alongside your vet, farrier, saddle fitter and trainer, so everyone looking after your horse is pulling in the same direction.
- Racehorses and point-to-pointers, before and after racing
- Eventers, showjumpers, dressage horses and teamchasers
- Happy hackers and hard-working cobs
- Veterans who deserve to stay comfortable
- Ponies of every size, miniature Shetlands included
When to call
Signs your horse might benefit from physio.
If your horse is lame or you're worried about pain, call your vet first. Once they've seen your horse, I can help with what comes next.
Sensitive to touch
Flinching when groomed or tacked up, tail swishing, ears back as the girth goes on.
Uneven muscle
One side building more than the other, a dip behind the withers, or a back that never quite softens.
Coming back from rest
After injury, time off or box rest, with your vet's go-ahead, rebuilding strength step by step.
Before the season
Pre-season and pre-competition checks so minor niggles don't turn into long-term issues.
Older horses
Gentle maintenance to keep veterans comfortable and moving through their older years.
Reading your horse
Sometimes you have to stand back and give them time to process.
Horses tell us when tension lets go. Some subtle releasing signs to look out for during your horse's next treatment:
- Lip twitching or a soft, droopy lip
- Deep breaths and relaxed nostrils
- Licking and chewing
- Slow blinking, and the odd big yawn
Performance & racing
Trusted on a racing yard.
I've treated the horses at Knowle Racing since 2023, with regular sessions around training and racing, and I spent years at an equine swimming centre helping horses through rehab and conditioning.
“Kate is very professional and quiet with the horses. They all respond really well to her and the treatments have had profound effect on them.”
On the yard
A day of yard visits.
Yard visits
Several horses on one yard? Even better.
Travel is free for the first 15 miles from Pillerton Hersey, then 50p a mile, always shown clearly on your invoice. Book three or more animals at the same place and you'll get a multi-animal discount.
Once a month I run a Saturday yard day, ideal for livery yards booking a few horses together.
“Over the past year, she has treated my mare, Lily, who was noticeably weaker on her right side. Lily has come on so much. She is stronger, moving more evenly, and looks so much more comfortable and confident.”
