About Equine Osteopathy
The is probably my happiest of happy places!!! I have been riding since I was 4 and have always wanted to work with horses. I initially set out with the intention of being an equine vet but once I started studying Osteopathy I knew I'd found my perfect job! After I qualified as a human Osteopath I did another very intense 1 year of study to qualify as an equine and canine osteopath. My full title is Jo Stutton Bsc(hons)OstPGDipAnimalOst
Horses are incredible animals to work with. They respond so very well to osteopathy and I have developed a strong interest is postural and gait assessment of horses. I have studied in-depth anatomy through several discections, gait mechanics, hoof function, advanced osteopathic techniques and have a big interest in saddle fit and effects of rider balance on horse performance.
Why Equine Osteopathy?
Common reasons I am asked to treat a horse include:
altered gait/lameness
performance issues
pain and stiffness
pre/post competition work
behavioural changes
problems with saddles/bridle/bit
I have treated several top Show Jump teams throughout New Zealand. I work on race yards, with dressage horses, endurance horses, retired horses, foals and young stock. Anyone and everything!!
I also have a mobile table and am happy to treat the riders, too, as this can be hugely beneficial to your horse once your own body is moving better and in better balance!
