Meet Jessica
Equine Therapist & Founder of JS Equine Body Connection
Practical horse experience. Evidence-informed therapies. Individual care for every horse.
Horses have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began riding before I could walk and joined Pony Club at just three years of age, building the foundation for a lifelong involvement with horses.
For more than 10 years I have also been involved in the Thoroughbred racing industry, giving me first-hand experience with the demands placed on performance horses and the importance of maintaining comfort, movement and recovery.
I continue to compete successfully in the show ring and understand horses from both a therapeutic and performance perspective. Whether I am working with a racehorse, competition horse, pleasure horse or much-loved older companion, every horse receives individual care, patience and respect.
Through JS Equine Body Connection, I combine practical horse experience with professional therapies including acupuncture, remedial massage, phototherapy and thermal imaging. Each horse is assessed as an individual, with treatment selected according to the horse in front of me rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
