Acupuncture

We offer equine acupuncture as an additional therapy for pain relief. It is particularly useful for horses and ponies with sore backs due to muscle spasm.

The technique involves placing very fine needles into specific points within the muscle. Most horses tolerate this well but sometimes sedation helps to relieve anxiety and tension.

Fiona and Jade are both trained in acupuncture.

Fiona works part time and uses acupuncture regularly as an additional therapy in many cases. Fiona is particularly interested in lameness and the management of chronic conditions.

Jade is originally from Lancashire and goes home to visit/get roped into working on the family farm and livery yard. She enjoys all aspects of her work, especially surgery. She also trained in acupuncture and offers this for equine and small animal clients for a variety of conditions.
