McTimoney for Horses

The increasing demands of equestrian sport are pushing the equine athlete to the extremes of its physiological limits. Regular McTimoney chiropractic treatments are one of the best ways you can support your horse to work at their best.

All equines whether elite competition animals or happy hackers are likely to have musculoskeletal problems at some time. The more we ask of our horses, the more likely they are to have issues. In addition to this, acute issues may arise from slipping, tripping, falling or just being a little overzealous whilst playing in the field. Chronic longer-term issues may arise as a result of ill fitting tack (previous or current), hoof imbalance, dental issues, conformational stresses and rider imbalances.
