"Highly recommend Althea . Elesebeth was really gentle and thorough with my elderly boy. She took time to do a full history first and he had a great session. Nothing was rushed .
Thank you"

"On Monday Foxy had her 2nd session with Elesebeth and I can honestly say the results were almost immediately noticeable.
A little background on Foxy and how we came to having massage sessions. Last March Foxy was diagnosed with laminitis for the first time. Following almost 4 months of box rest we were given the go ahead to start ridden work. So far with carefully management I have kept Foxy sound, however roughly a month ago when asking Foxy to canter she pinned her ears back refusing to go forward and put in a buck. Now anyone who knows Foxy knows how unusual that is. Foxy never says no to going faster so I knew she must be feeling uncomfortable somewhere.
I contacted Elesebeth and she got back to me the same day and we booked Foxy in for the same week.
After taking Foxy’s medical history Elesebeth began the treatment. Elesebeth was so calm and gentle with Foxy that she relaxed immediately.
Foxy enjoyed her treatment so much that she even stopped munching on her hay (doesn’t happen often with Foxy)
Afterwards Elesebeth debriefed me on what she had found during the session and all made sense with how Foxy had been behaving. We were given our homework and arranged for Foxy’s next session.
The morning after when I tuned Foxy out she went galloping around her field throwing moves I’ve not seen in years. And the subsequent rides proved just how fabulous she was feeling as she was more than happy to try cantering on the spot when I wouldn’t let her canter down the road.
I cannot rate Elesebeth highly enough. My girl is happy and loving life which is everything thanks to Elesebeth I have my excitable, fun loving mare back and I cannot thank her enough.
We are already looking forward to Foxy’s next session.
Thank you again Elesebeth."

"Cassie had her first treatment with Elesebeth today! She had a few tension spots which Elesebeth managed to release, making Cassie feel much more relaxed and snoozy this afternoon. I would highly recommend Elesebeth with her calm and kind nature!
Thank you for making Cassie feel amazing"

"My horse has made a massive improvement since being treated by Elesebeth, not only is she lovely, chatty and so reassuring (especially for horses who are unsure to begin with), she is very knowledgable and explains everything so simply, I look forward to having her back at the yard!"

"Amazingly-intuitive and skilled holistic healer for horses. Elesebeth has a way with animals, and I'd highly recommend her for anyone local to Witney."

"Elesebeth has recently treated  my cob mare, Bea, as she felt a  little stiff  in her  hind quarters and wasn't moving as freely as usual. Elesebeth worked to release Bea's tight muscles with a gentle but very effective massage treatment. Bea was very relaxed and happy around Elesebeth who has a wonderful connection with her Equine  clients. Elesebeth was knowledgable, gentle, calm and understanding whilst carrying out the massage & was very professional, explaining her findings to me and giving me good aftercare advice. Bea is now noticeably more comfortable, is moving more freely and feels more supple and relaxed throughout her body. I would absolutely recommend Elesebeth to treat any horse  that seems stiff, tight or  uncomfortable in their body whether through general riding, competing, injury or conformation. I will definitely be booking Elesebeth again for regular massage treatments for Bea. Thank you Elesebeth"

"My TB Ruby had kissing spine surgery. Elesebeth's massage treatments along with acupuncture have helped her rehab and I am now back to hacking and having weekly flat work lessons."

"OMG Rocky was so amazing this morning on the long reins... so happy and 'bouncy'... Nice to see you yesterday :)"

"Last week the lovely Elesebeth from Althea Equine Massage &  Therapy campout to give the highly strung, Freya a Massage Treatment. Usually she gets quite defensive about being touched, and won't tolerate it for long before baring teeth and fidgeting constantly, but with Elesebeth she seemed to really relax and allowed her to carry out a full  body treatment including releasing the muscles in the tops of the legs, which many don't usually work into! Releasing tension into the legs does make sense though, as they put so much strain onto these areas, its actually odd that we only think about treating their backs most of the time! I had never used Althea Equine before, and Freya was simply getting an extra special treatment as I do love my regular Equine Physio, but I would highly recommend. "

"Our second visit from Althea Equine Massage & Therapy. There was a significant improvement in the soft tissue due to the treatments from Elesebeth along with the training programme with my instructor Sarah Arkell"

"Today the wonderful Elesebeth from Althea Equine Massage & Therapy came to give Bruce a treatment. It was absolutely mesmerising to watch, Bruce pretty much fell asleep while Elesebeth worked her magic and released some areas of tension along his neck and back! We've got some homework with stretches to do at home and will be having a second treatment in a few weeks time. It was so interesting to find out Bruce was tighter on his right hand side so maybe he is right hoofed like me! I can't wait for his next session! "

"Socks didn't fancy getting up for his lesson after his massage with Althea Equine Massage & Therapy the day before. But we had a great walk/trot session once he got out of bed! Taking things nice and slow, now introducing poles into rehab to strengthen his core."
