I originally started my studies with Jess at Equestricare to gain knowledge for supporting for my own horse. Once I had gotten further into the course and case studies I thought maybe I could offer services to close friends and relatives for some extra pocket money, of which very quickly became something more among those I knew and On Track Equine was suddenly a big part of my next adventure.

𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒖𝒔 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒐 𝒇𝒂𝒓..
I graduated from Equestricare in 2022 and from then on I slowly built up my business and my name among those close to me. A lot of my clients came from word of mouth and this helped to build fantastic relationships & trust. My client base has grown to so much more than I ever expected and I am so grateful.

My business ‘On Track Equine’ was created wholey for my heart horse ‘Honey’. She was the one and only in my world and everything I did was based around her and how I could best support her body and ongoing comfort.

In 2025 I added Kinesiotaping to my modalities thanks to Mel from MELT Lymphatics. Mel has always been a big supporter and mentor for me right from the get go. My first day of the workshop through to now, Mel has always been there for me and that’s been a massive help throughout my journey.

Recently I also added Cryotherapy to my services, thanks to TruCryo & Kaasen Equine. The training I received both in person and online has been paramount to offering this service to my clients.

Among my treatment options I also support my clients with ridden and groundwork lessons to educate on how the horses body works and what we can do as riders to ensure we are giving them the best opportunity to be their best.

All in all my entire ‘career’ is based around helping others. Whether I’m working, competing or supporting at events I just love seeing my clients out and about enjoying their horses.

The one thing I will always say to my clients about their horse is ‘we’re not trying to change them into something they’re not, we are helping them be the best version of themselves’.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒋𝒐𝒃?
I absolutely love educating!

Passing on my knowledge to others, showing and teaching those who want to learn more. This is my thing. I want to help my community of clients feel confident in how to support their horses, not feel silly for asking or wanting to try the stretch with me there.

If I could make a list of the texts messages I’ve received from clients when they’ve successfully completed a stretch they’ve never been able to do, or their horse can finally do that pole exercise they’ve been struggling with, I would have those texts as my daily affirmations. To know I have helped educate even just one owner to understand and apply skills for inbetween sessions - my day is a success in my eyes.

𝑨𝒏𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍?
I have 2 very adorable clients for this - Billy & Belle. For those who follow me, they will know these two foals.

I met these little cuties at just 3 weeks old! With the unfortunate circumstances of limb deviations I was recommended by a friend through FB to help treat the deviations with Kinesiotaping.

With the assistance and support from overseas, Christa Veinotte The creator of Hestaband Kinesiotape. We devised a plan of applications on how to best manage these little legs.

Starting in Feb this year with fortnightly applications, to now, Billy has completed his treatments and is completely straightened and sound. Belle with a more severe deviation is in her final stages of our applications.

Giving two foals the chance of a happier future makes me really grateful that I decided to pursue this career and that I’ve been able to add on extra modalities to help in so many ways.

𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓?
Just do it! It can be daunting looking at the studies or the prac, or the large amount of body workers out there, but it is so worth it. Not only did I learn valuable skills and knowledge and now have a wonderful career, I met so many amazing people and the support network I have is incredible. I can message my mentors and still ask questions or advice and I will always receive a response. If not for a career, do it for your horse. You won’t regret it.

Today I was out to support those who have always supported me. Well done to all of you out there today - kicking goals & enjoying your horses every step of the way 🫶🏻🐎

My equine therapist gave me some exercises, but I have no idea what they mean. How far apart should I space the poles? Am I doing it right? I’m not sure if it’s working.

Sound familiar…?

It’s not just “𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤.”

It’s 𝘩𝘰𝘸 they do it that counts.

Pole work can improve proprioception, coordination, balance, strength and movement — 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮.

And it’s not just about poles.
