Talks and Demos
In addition to Equine Body Work, I also do informal talks/demos for Pony Clubs, Riding Clubs, Colleges, Equestrian Centres, Equine Conference and Exhibitions etc.
In England I have worked closely with Hartpury Equine College, Gloucestershire and in Scotland with Oatridge College, Edinburgh.
These sessions can be tailored very specifically according to the audience and vary from 30mins to 3hrs. These can include anatomy and physiology, interactive discussions on soft tissue injuries, fun quiz, painting skeletal landmarks onto horses, the use and importance of sports massage and stretching, and a demonstration of a massage session.
These sessions are great fun but also educational and suitable for all ages!
If you are interested in considering some kind of talk/lecture for your group, please call or email me to discuss further.
