Veterinary Physiotherapy, Groundwork Training, Mindfulness
Emma owns her own horses, Sollie, Ellin and Eve. Having previously took part in low level competing and general riding activities, Sollie and Ellin's previous career in racing meant their soundness was effected. After exhausting all efforts to return them to work, the decision was made to retire both from ridden work, and they are now living a life of luxury.
Eve is a youngster that Emma plans to start in her ridden career when she reaches maturity. She is currently working on building her confidence and general handling skills, going for walks in the land surrounding the yard she is generously kept at.
