Vet consent
Working alongside your vet
- Before every first session I contact your vet.
- Injured, in rehab or under treatment? I need your vet’s go-ahead first, and I can arrange it.
- Signs of lameness or injury? I stop and advise you to call your vet. The session fee still applies, as the assessment has taken place.
When not to book
Speak to your vet first if your horse has
- A fever
- An acute injury or swelling
- An infectious disease
- Open wounds
- Recent surgery
- Severe lameness
Not sure? Get in touch before booking and I’ll let you know.
