Osteopathy for horses
Horse osteopath, at your stable
A horse osteopath looks further than the spot where things go wrong. A restricted back shows up in the hind leg; a sensitive neck shows up in the contact. I first assess how your horse moves and compensates, and only then treat: softly, precisely, at the horse’s own pace.
€ 95Full treatment on location, ± 60 min.
When a horse osteopath can help
- Shorter or uneven strides without obvious lameness
- Trouble with contact, bending, or one lead in canter
- Resistance to saddling, mounting or backing up
- A change in posture, muscling or behaviour under saddle
- After a period of rest, rehabilitation or injury
What happens at the stable
The appointment takes about an hour and happens at your own stable, so your horse stays in familiar surroundings. We start with the history (workload, saddle fit, farrier intervals and earlier injuries) and then assess movement: standing, in hand, in walk and in trot. The treatment itself uses soft techniques on joints, muscles and fascia. You get concrete advice for the days that follow.
Alongside your vet, farrier and trainer
Osteopathy does not replace veterinary care. For anything that looks like a medical complaint, the vet comes first. Where it is useful I consult with your vet, farrier or trainer. It is the same horse, after all.
