20/01/2026

Hello everyone. I am a Salisbury-based rider physio and I run a weekly Zoom exercise class for riders. From Monday, 2nd February the course will be going "back to basics", so this is an ideal time for any new starters to join. The course is "pay as you go", so there's no regular commitment and you can come and go as you please. Please do get in touch if you are interested!

I’ve been pretty quiet on here recently as have just been very busy getting on with the job! But this weekend I’m at the British Equestrian Federation, learning how to classify para riders for competitions. Can’t wait to get going with this work! Massive thanks to British Equestrian for a great course 🐴💪🥇

When assessing and selecting a horse or pony to work in equine assisted therapy and hippotherapy, of course we need a quiet and reliable individual who is not going to be stressed or worried by working with unbalanced riders and people who might struggle to regulate their movements, sounds and emotions.

But we also need to assess confirmation, gait and movement to work out what the equine can offer the client to help provide their therapy. In this way, clients can be matched to the ideal horse or pony to meet their therapy needs.

We also need to have a thorough knowledge of the equine’s veterinary and behavioural history to ensure their welfare is not compromised by this important and special work they are involved with.

Happy New Year!

What are your riding goals for 2024? How about spending as much time “schooling” yourself as you do schooling your horse?!

Can I tell you a bit about hippotherapy?

Not many people know what it is!

Hippotherapy is defined as the use of “evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning in the purposeful use of equine movement within a therapy session.” (ACPEA 2022). This means using the three-dimensional movement of a horse to deliver physical therapy to people who have challenges to their movement, mobility, balance and sensory systems.

In other words, it is a goal-based physiotherapy session delivered on horseback.

A few weeks ago we had fun with the brilliant getting some lovely shots for the Total Body Riding website (watch this space!) With huge thanks to the humans and horses at and for being so beautifully photogenic! 🐴📸🌟

It was a real joy to work with a group of motivated and open-minded riders yesterday in the Total Body Riding mounted clinic, run in partnership with

We worked on posture and breathing, making subtle adjustments to where we sit and how we move on our horses in order to get the most from them. Now those riders are going away to train their bodies on the ground and make them strong and mobile enough to accommodate these adjustments.
