Clinics & Events
At STC Equine Sports Massage Therapies, my clinics are designed to help horse owners learn simple, practical ways to support their horse’s wellbeing, comfort and way of going.
After qualifying as an Equine Sports Massage Therapist, I wanted to create clinics inspired by a pilates-for-horses style approach, alongside cross-training sessions, to help horses and owners work together in a positive, beneficial and enjoyable way.
Each clinic is friendly, welcoming and suitable for a range of horses and riders. Whether you are looking to build confidence, improve communication, support your horse’s posture and balance, or simply enjoy something a little different together, these sessions are designed to be informative, relaxed and enjoyable.
Clinics may include a mixture of ridden or in-hand exercises, guided activities, polework, obstacles, confidence-building exercises, body awareness work and practical tips that you can continue at home between sessions. All sessions are carried out in walk, which means they can be done ridden, in-hand, or as a mixture of both.
The focus is always on helping you better understand your horse and giving you useful exercises and ideas to take away with you.
🟣 What to Expect
Each clinic is run in a supportive environment with clear guidance throughout. Sessions are suitable for a variety of combinations, and exercises can often be adapted to suit confidence levels, experience and individual horse needs.
Depending on the clinic, sessions may focus on:
- Confidence and partnership
- Balance, coordination and body awareness
- Groundwork and in-hand skills
- Ridden exercises
- Polework and obstacle work
- Improving suppleness and relaxation
- Practical exercises to support your horse between massage sessions
🟣 Who These Clinics Are For
These clinics are ideal for horse owners who want to:
- Spend quality time with their horse
- Improve trust and communication
- Build confidence in-hand or ridden
- Support their horse’s comfort and wellbeing
- Learn simple exercises to use at home
- Enjoy a fun and positive training environment
Whether you are attending for education, confidence, variety, or to support your horse’s overall way of going, you will leave with useful ideas to continue with at home
🟣 Before You Attend
Please make sure you read the individual event details carefully before booking, as requirements may vary depending on the venue and clinic type.
For in-hand sessions, sensible footwear and gloves are recommended, and a riding hat is strongly recommended. For ridden sessions, correct riding attire and a hat are required.
Horse welfare and safety are always the priority, and all participants are expected to ride and handle with consideration for others attending.
🟣 Why Attend a Clinic?
Clinics are a great way to step away from the usual routine and spend focused time with your horse while learning something new.
They can help you:
- Strengthen your partnership
- Improve your horse’s confidence
- Encourage better movement and coordination
- Support relaxation and focus
- Gain practical tools to use between appointments
Have fun while doing something beneficial together
