Equine Bodywork Solutions Equine Sports & Rehabilitation Massage Therapist
Trauma Informed Horse Trainer
Covering Kent & the East Sussex Border

I'm Cath Hammond, an equine sports and rehabilitation massage therapist working in Kent that wants to help you connect with your horse on a deeper level. By taking the time to get to know both of you and undertake treatment plans with a holistic approach, we can encourage your horse to carry their body correctly and restore balance in mind, body and spirit by releasing tension and pain held in th

e muscles. My qualification is with the world renowned Equissage Europe, a UK Rural Skills accredited course. I am committed to expanding my knowledge and skills further by regularly attending training courses such as understanding equine body language and behaviour, the biomechanics of how they move and how we can affect it; negatively and positively and by learning new techniques to add to my treatments. I believe my personal life experiences and practical involvement with horses who have trauma, abuse and neglect in their backgrounds has given me the personal attributes to maintain a regulated nervous system and treat each horse in a way that they wish to be treated and in their own timeline, I have no expectations of them and use all my senses to listen and respond.

As animal lovers and pet parents we tend to focus on their welfare before our own, but please do make sure you are looking after yourselves. “You can’t pour from an empty cup” is a saying I completely ignore when said to me but they do have a point!! Rest, rehydrate and repeat 💚

Seeing muscle atrophy or muscle hypertrophy (under developed muscle) is just part of the picture.

It could be the main problem, a symptom of another problem, compensation, asymmetry in horse or rider…so many things.

And there are so many answers; bodywork, remedial foot trimming, rehabilitation exercises, dental work, saddle fit…again so many things!

That’s why sharing as much information about your training, your horses living environment, past medical history, accidents…all of this and much more helps to put the puzzle together. And there will probably always be missing pieces!

Regular maintenance massages can spot these minor issues early and get to work correcting them before they become major, painful and expensive issues.

Are you seeing anything that provides information about your horses movement???

As an equine sports massage therapist this is one of the most frustrating things I hear.

I do completely understand why that is a common belief, we don’t go to a bodyworker unless we are experiencing pain or have an injury.

However, our horses are extremely tolerant and often don’t start to show signs of pain for 6-8 weeks, by which time compensation patterns are also starting to form. Whether we are riding to compete, for sport or a weekend hack we are asking our horses to use their bodies in ways that are unnatural.

Having regular massage treatments can highlight these problems early allowing us to address them quickly, avoiding extensive vet bills, investigations and possibly long rehabilitation periods.

I’ve extensively studied pain in horses and the behaviour patterns it can manifest and by staying in regular contact with you we can ensure that your horse stays healthy, happy and comfortable for as long as possible 💚

I’ll be stewarding so if you’re riding best of luck and most importantly…have fun 💚

Lily’s Mum had tried everything to help her through some behaviour problems; sessions with trainers, supplements and creating a safe home environment. However, massage seemed to be the key to gradually releasing stored tension and trauma in her muscles. Watching the connection between Lily and Penny has been so special. Seeing videos of their adventures on Facebook and receiving photos of her grazing at home always makes my heart full 💞
