Master Saddle Fitting Consultant

Fully qualified and insured horse chiropractor, dog chiropractor, saddle fitter and bit fitter working throughout Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset
Animals, like people, can suffer from back, neck, pelvic and musculoskeletal problems, and can benefit from an animal chiropractic treatment by a trained animal chiropractor.
By manipulating any misaligned joints throughout the body, with special attention to the spine and pelvis, the McTimoney chiropractic technique helps to restore and maintain health, movement, soundness and performance. It’s a non-invasive, holistic treatment, which most animals readily accept. And owners like it because there’s no need for anaesthetic or drugs.
Combining my skills as an animal chiropractor with my knowledge of saddle and bit fitting, I can offer customers a unique service as I understand how badly fitting equipment can result it muscle tension, pain and atrophy. Recognising these problems is key to finding a solution so that the horse and rider can achieve perfect balance, free from restriction and discomfort.
