Veterinary permission is required before any work is carried out on the horse.
A.R. Equine Therapy works, at all times, with the full approval and in complete liaison with your Vet, to achieve maximum results for your horse or pony. After a therapy session a full report is sent to your vet and veterinary permission is required before any work can be carried out. Also while assessing your horse I can do a short assessment of the rider and advise if they need any work to straighten their bodies out.
