Report
Michael and Abbey came recommended by our saddler. Now we are coming up to our second appointment for both horses, one veteran and one 9 year old, I wanted to say a big thank you for the difference you have made. We have noticed significant improvement. Our mare had a tight spot on her neck which was obviously causing discomfort and this was relieved from treatment one and has made a real difference to how she is working. Shes also tracking up much better. Our veteran is clearly more comfortable too. Ive always been sceptical of the benefits of different treatments but can genuinely say this

Report
Michael Pye could not be more gentle, patient or knowledgeable. Abbey, who assists with the horse handling is calm and confident; they make a perfect Team. I felt completely at ease as they both assessed then treated both my horses. Can not recommend more highly.
