With experience as a 5★ FEI groom and professional horse braider, I offer specialist grooming and bodywork services designed around the needs of competition horses, their owners and the teams who care for them.

Whether you’re preparing for the show ring, looking to improve your horse’s comfort and mobility, or want greater confidence navigating FEI anti-doping requirements, I bring practical, competition-level experience and a meticulous eye for detail to every service.

Braiding

Competition-ready presentation, tailored to your horse and your discipline.

Clipping

A precise, professional clip that works for your horse and your workload.

Clipping is about more than appearance. The right clip can help your horse stay comfortable, clean and manageable throughout training and competition.

I offer professional clipping with careful attention to your horse’s individual needs, including coat type, workload, living arrangements and competition schedule.

Clipping services include:

• Full and partial clips
• Competition clips
• Tidy-ups and maintenance clips
• Neat, precise finishing

Every horse is treated as an individual, with patience and care throughout the process.

IGC / FEI Anti-Doping Consultations

Practical guidance for grooms, owners and competition teams.

FEI anti-doping regulations can feel complicated — particularly when everyday products, supplements, medications and treatments need to be considered alongside competition plans.

Drawing on hands-on experience within the FEI environment, I offer consultations to help grooms and horse owners better understand their responsibilities and build safer, more informed routines around competition.

Consultations can cover:

• Understanding FEI anti-doping principles
• Reviewing products and ingredients
• Competition preparation and planning
• Identifying potential areas of risk
• Creating practical systems for grooms and support teams
• Questions around treatments, supplements and stable management

Important: These consultations are educational and practical in nature and are not a substitute for official FEI guidance, veterinary advice or legal advice. Regulations and prohibited substances can change, so official FEI resources should always be checked before competition.

Horse Bodywork Clinics

Helping grooms and horse owners develop practical bodywork skills.

These hands-on clinics are designed to give horse owners and grooms a better understanding of their horse’s body, movement and everyday physical needs.

Rather than focusing solely on techniques, clinics encourage participants to become more observant and confident in recognising changes in how a horse feels and moves.

Clinics can include:

• Practical bodywork techniques
• Understanding basic equine anatomy
• Recognising areas of tension
• Improving awareness of how a horse feels through the body
• Safe, appropriate techniques for everyday use
• How bodywork can complement good grooming and stable management
• Practical demonstrations and hands-on learning

Clinics can be arranged for private groups, barns, groom teams and horse owners.
