Performance - Focused Equine Manual Therapy

Ruth lives on-site and manages Blueview Equestrian. As a qualified professional equine bodyworker, agisters at Blueview get priority booking and discounted prices whenever their horse requires Ruth’s services. Equissential Bodywork is available to travel to all of Greater Sydney and surrounds.

Equissential bodywork provides structured, anatomically informed manual therapy for performance horses.

Each session is designed to improve mobility, reduce compensatory tension, support correct biomechanics, and optimise the horse’s ability to train and compete consistently.

For owners who require targeted, professional bodywork for their performance horses in work, complimenting rehabilitation plans, and performance maintenance and improvement.

  • I combine advanced anatomical knowledge with practical feel developed through years in performance environments.

    Every session includes:

    • Full static and dynamic assessment

    • Palpation and functional muscle testing

    • Manual soft tissue release

    • Fascial release techniqies

    • Post-treatment feedback and management advice

    No two horses are treated the same. Each session is tailored to the individual horse, workload and competition goals.

  • I primarily work with:

    • Competitive showjumpers

    • Eventers

    • Dressage horses

    • Young performance prospects

    • Horses in consistent/ professional trianing

    • Complimenting rehabilitation plans

    My clients value structured programs, preventative care, and long-term soundness.

  • I work with a limited number of horses to ensure quality care and consistent treatment plans.

    Horses are generally seen every 6-8 weeks.

    Enquiries welcome via email or phone (0456200997).
