Welcome to Hampshire Equine Touch
My name is Julie and I am an Equine Touch practitioner based in North Hampshire and cover all surrounding areas offering Holistic Equine bodywork.
The Equine Touch is a gentle, hands on body-work system targeting Fascia - a layer of connective tissue that runs through out the horses body. It lies beneath the skin and attaches, stabilises, closes & separates muscles and other internal organs.
Do you recognise any of these symptoms?
- Refusing fences, knocking poles, reluctance to stretch/collect
- Reluctance to engage
- Disuniting in canter/incorrect strike off
- Stiffness on one rein
- Head tilt
- Poor transitions
- Contact issues
- Lack of fluency and working through the back
Benefits of Equine Touch
* Improve Suppleness, willingness and balance
* Relieve tight muscles and improve symmetry
* Prepare for competition & quicken recovery
* Re-balance muscles after veterinary & dental treatments, hoof maintenance and box rest
* Reduce stress and promote relaxation
* Prevent Injuries

* Horses with changes in behaviour/temperament
* When your horse just doesn't seem right!
Equine Touch has great benefits for all horses of any age, from Happy Hackers, Companions, Elderly horses, Injured Horses & Competition horses.
