What Others Are Saying
"Connie was very professional and understanding"
"She was patient with our Pony and had her best interest the whole time. She gave detailed feedback and gave recommendations of what we needed to do next to get our pony fighting fight again. Would highly recommend her!! Thank you"
"I couldn’t recommend Connie highly enough!"
"She recently came out to work with my daughters pony Inkie, providing both massage and physiotherapy, and the results were truly remarkable. She has a fantastic way with animals—my horse instantly relaxed in her presence, responding so well to her techniques and gentle touch."
"Highly recommend this"
"She explained everything so clearly, both with the scientific/technical language and translated to layperson's terms. Connie has recommended some things we can do to build up even muscle on our pony and a treatment plan to help with his discomfort around his poll. This was the pony's first time having any physio and Connie's presence and mannerism relaxed him very quickly."
"Thank you Connie"
'"Tom loved his massage. Connie gives such amazing service and she is so informative. I didn't have to ask one question. Thank you Connie. Tom looks forward to his next treatment."
