The Horse Physio is excited to announce that disabled rider Charlie, who rides with the High Riders RDA group, will be able to ride for the next year, thanks to those who attended the Horse Massage for the Horse Owners course today. Massive thank you to Stourport Riding Centre for providing fantastic facilities, and to all who took part for their enthusiasm and energy. I know that your horses will appreciate it!
Charlie is a 5-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, unable to walk unaided for more than a few steps. He lights up during his riding lessons, and brings smiles to everyone around him.
The Horse Physio has been running Horse Massage for Horse Owners courses for several years now, taught by chartered physiotherapist superman. Sue says "I love teaching this course. I love the knowledge that so many horses will benefit in so many ways. Most of all I think, I love watching and listening to the group participants getting so much from each other as they share their knowledge and experiences". For anyone who is not sure that they could remember all the information, it's available as a book and a DVD as well through www.thehorsephysio.co.uk.
Massage is a gentle therapeutic technique, that anyone can use to help that own horse. Aiming to relieve soreness and release tight muscles, it can help to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury. There are courses throughout the UK where you can learn hands on with your horse, similar to those run through The Horse Physio. Some teach you how to help your own horse, others are full-blown qualifications to enable you to massage horses as a career.
