You see him every day.
I see him for an hour.
Let me teach you what I look for.
Home Physio for Horses.
Six weeks of hands-on physio and in-hand exercises you do yourself.
Is he being difficult, or is something stopping him?
This teaches you how to tell the difference, and what to do about it.
Join the first group, £199.
Starts Sunday 30 August. 10 places only, closing 23 August.
Money back guarantee
Do the 6 weeks.
If you do not think it was worth it, I refund you in full.
You already know this bit
He will not go backwards unless you make a proper performance of it.
He will not step sideways at all, or he circles around you instead.
He avoids anything that is hard work, and if you let him he would avoid the poles too.
And when you ask a little louder he flattens his back, falls on his forehand and rushes.
So you stand there wondering whether you are not being clear enough, or whether he is ignoring you, or whether he simply cannot do it.
And if you are honest, you have probably decided it is you.
Nobody has ever told you which of those three it is. That is the whole problem, and it is not a training problem.
Then I get my hands on him, and I find it, and I sort it out. And every single time, the same thought goes through my head.
You were standing next to this horse every day and you very probably felt it long before I did.
You had just never been shown what you were looking at.
What changes
You already notice. Noticing and knowing what it means are two different things, and nobody has ever given you the second one.
✓ You can tell the difference between will not and cannot.
Whether he is avoiding it because he does not understand you, because he has learned he can, or because something physically will not let him
✓ You know what you are aiming for.
Not just what is wrong, but what right actually looks like, so you can see for yourself whether what you are doing is working
✓ You know, on any morning, whether he is fine to work, needs an easy day, or needs somebody out to him.
That decision stops being a guess
✓ You can finally tell whether the money you spend on professionals is doing anything,
because you have a baseline to measure it against
✓ When you ring me, or a vet, you can say exactly what changed and when,
so you are taken seriously and you get to the answer faster
✓ You catch things while they are still a fortnight of light work,
rather than three months off and a season gone
✓ And he ends up straighter and stronger than he started,
because six weeks of in-hand work is work, not just a test.
What I do then holds for far longer, instead of me undoing the same thing every visit
What you get
6 live calls - all recorded for watch back.
6 in-hand exercise routines, one a week, each building on the last. Five minutes to set up, kit you have probably already got
The Physio Day bonus. A separate session where I teach you the ten hands-on techniques I use myself, then twenty minutes a week on him
A private Facebook group where every video goes up and gets looked at, by me and by the other nine
A tracking sheet, so you finish with six weeks of his own data
About two and a half hours a week. A phone propped on a fence post is all the filming kit you need, and you are filming the horse, not yourself.
1. Your baseline.
What normal is on him, written down, so that the next time something feels off you have got something to compare it against.
2. What he actually does.
Which side he loads, and why. You stop taking anybody's word for it.
3. What is worth worrying about.
Is he ignoring you, or can he not do it?
4. What he hides.
Work slowly enough and he cannot. This is the week you find what you have walked past a hundred times.
5. Whether it worked.
Your baseline again, side by side, in your own handwriting.
6. Keeping it.
A twenty minute weekly check you will still be doing in a year, on this horse and the next one.
The Physio Day
I know some of you have the massage book on a shelf, and an online course you paid for and never finished. They are'nt bad books. But a diagram cannot tell you what a muscle feels like under your own hand, on your own horse, in bad light, while he moves.
Only somebody watching you do it can.
So the first thing we do is calibrate your hands, on a set of kitchen scales, so that you know exactly what the pressure I am asking for actually feels like before you ever put it on him. Then you learn it on him, and I watch you do it, week after week, and tell you what to change.
After three or four weeks your hands know him specifically. That his left side has always been a bit firmer, and that the thing you felt on Sunday was definitely not there the Sunday before.
He will love it too.
Most of them drop their head within a fortnight.
The safety bit
Yes. No force, no manipulation, no adjusting. I am not teaching you to do my job, and everything I teach you is something your horse is free to decline.The first thing you learn, in week one, is when to stop.
Owners get into difficulty by pushing on through, and you will be taught the opposite before anything else. You are also never asked to work out what is wrong with him. Anything that worries you comes straight to me.
£199 + a money back guarantee
Two treatments' worth of money, spent once, on the thing that makes every treatment after it work harder.
There are no testimonials on this page, because you are the first group and I am not going to pretend otherwise. So the risk sits with me rather than with you.
Watch the six calls, post your six videos, fill in the tracking sheet. If you still do not think it was worth £199, tell me and I will give you every penny back. You have two weeks after the final call to decide, a message will do, I will not ask you to justify it, and it will not make the slightest difference to how I work with you afterwards.
Ten places and no more, because past ten I cannot look at everybody's videos properly. Closing Sunday 23 August.
What happens next
1. Click on the button below and reserve your spot, the intake form and kit list come over within the hour
2. I read every form myself, so week one is built around your horse
3. Once all ten are in, I confirm the call day and time around everybody's diaries
4. We start on Sunday 30 August

A few questions
What if he goes lame or ends up on box rest halfway through?
Then you will be glad you are on it. The hands-on work is at its most useful on a confined horse. We swap your in-hand work for something appropriate and you carry on.
Is my horse right for this?
Almost certainly. It suits veterans, it suits youngsters, and it suits the ones who will not stand still, which is usually the horse who needs it most. If he has a diagnosis or he is on box rest, tell me on the intake form and I will adapt his side of it. If for any reason I think it is not right for him, I will say so and I will not take your money.
What if I miss a call? I
t is recorded and goes up the same day. I would expect most of you to miss one or two over six weeks and it genuinely does not matter.
It gets dark and I have not got an arena.
Everything works in a barn aisle, a yard, a lit corner or a patch of field. Nothing needs more than about ten metres.
What kit do I need?
Poles, a couple of cones and a pair of flexi sticks. Full list comes with your intake form, and there is a week between the closing date and the start so you have time to sort anything you have not got.
Does this mean I will need you less?
You will need me differently. You will still want him treated. What changes is that you will be telling me what has gone on since I was last there, instead of me finding it all cold in twenty minutes.
