Who We Are

I’m Issy, the founder of Stable Hands Equine Massage. I, like you, have a passion for horses, and have dedicated my career to helping as many as I can to relieve their pain and tension through massage. I have also studied horses for over 6 years, having earnt my MSc as my greatest achievement in 2023.

I have completed both my Bachelors in Equine Science and my Masters in Applied Equine Science at Hartpury University, with a focus on welfare within my undergraduate dissertation. Within my Masters, I have focused my research on the impact of massage on the horse through observing behaviours shown and relating them to heart rate - to demonstrate the potential relaxing effect. If you want to find out more, you can read about my paper below!

During my time at Equine Massage Training UK, I have built both practical and theoretical experience - learning to apply my acquired knowledge to help the horse release tension, with many happy customers seeing a difference in their horse. See for yourself in the reviews section!

Meet Cola!

The furry face of Stable Hands

Cola joined our family in September 2023, and has very quickly become a much loved member (despite her antics!)

As a 5 year old mare, Cola has lots of growing and developing to do, and we hope to show you how massage can help young horses to meet the best version of themselves!
