Equine Better Care
                                        Equine Sports Massage



              I have worked with horses all my life, originally as a hobby as a child
                            and it eventually became my chosen career.
                 As a child i had ponies and as a teenager worked and rode riding
                horses and race horses, i gained my BHS AI after leaving school
                                                  .
My first job was based as an instructor and groom and I later worked as a head groom at a dressage yard
 where i was fortunate to have the opportunity to train with Chief Rider of the Spanish Riding School
  Arthur Kottas on an Advanced Dressage horse. Further training in the art of Classical Dressage with
        Charles de Kunffy triggered my interest in the biomechanics and the structure of a horse.

               Consequently in 2001 I studied as an Equine body worker with Equinenergy and gained my
                               qualification as a Master in 2003. In 2004

  I gained a diploma from Raworth International sports college in holistic massage to enable me to also
support the rider by specialising in human massage. I have continued my interest in Dressage, training and
                       riding but support all performance Horses through Massage.

                          Myo fascia Release Therapy



• All of the FEI equine disciplines have a therapist as part of the team
                effort supporting the performance horse.


• But your horse doesn't need to be of a certain age, type or work at an
  Olympic medal level of performance to benefit from the application
                           of massage therapy.

                    If a muscle is tight and shortened it is a victim to strain.
         A muscle which is not working in a fully functional state is working against it self
. This produces decreased blood flow, restricted movement, nerve irritation and pain. In time this
                  compensation can cause pain instead of the initial problem.


         Stress or tension in any part of the body will have an adverse effect –
                      this can be expressed by a behavioural issue .

                              Muscle pain can be indicted and expressed by
                           •     a behavioural issue, rearing, bucking, napping
         •       physical problem or increasing reluctance i.e. down hills , loading unevenly
             •    a change of temperament, hyper-sensitive to touch, tack up, rug ,groom
                   •   by favouring one rein , laterally reluctant, hanging to one side
                       •     a change in performance, fitness, recovery or ability

                                 Equine Sports Massage

  The manipulation of the body’s soft tissues encourages the muscle to relax, stretches
and loosens the tissue fibres and promotes flexibility, which results in an increased range
                                        of motion

                              • Range of Motion and Flexibility
                       • the nervous, muscular and circulatory systems,
                          • aids the self-healing system of the body
                      • Encourages lengthening of the connective tissue
                         • Induction of relaxation and tension relief
                  •   works as a preventative measure for the equine athlete.
                                  • Enhances Muscle Tone
I use a combination of equine massage, myo fascia release, cranial sacral and stretching
          techniques these are specific to your individual horses requirements.

Diane regularly attends our Centre to work on our competition horses as well as the horses that are sent
 to us on training. Diane helps to keep the horses in training as comfortable as possible and fit for their
 work. Diane has helped us with problems horses who we have found to be physically tight or sore and
  after a course of treatments they are much more comfortable. Even the most nervous horses seem to
 take to her and allow her to treat them as she works on them very quietly. Another beneficial factor is
  that she has a dressage background which we find really useful as she provides very specific exercises
   and feed back with programs to improve and strengthen each horse to enable it to perform well and
                           benefit from it's training" Australian Horsemanship

                                             Legal Notice
Animal treatment is governed by the law, and it is vital that these legislations are adhered to not only
         from a legal perspective but also to ensure the on going welfare of your animal(s).
The therapies offered by Diane Daynes is known as "complementary therapies," which means they
          complement veterinary care and are not an alternative to traditional medicine.

                                  Veterinary Surgeons Act, 1966

         It is illegal for any person to treat an animal unless they are a veterinary surgeon or a
           paraprofessional, as defined in the Veterinary Surgeons (Exemptions) Order, 1962.
Diane is not a veterinary surgeon and is not classed as a paraprofessional under this legislation, and is
   therefore not allowed to treat any animal without prior consent (or referral) from the animal's
                                              veterinary surgeon.
 Owners must ask their veterinary surgeon for approval BEFORE their animal is treated.

  1. Massage has more benefits than just loosening tight muscles and providing a feeling of well-being for humans. Athletes and sports professionals supported by their coaches and physio's use massage as a tool to help them achieve their goals . This is recognised and considered valuable to apply to horses, all of the FEI equine disciplines have a therapist as part of the team effort supporting the performance horse. But your horse doesn't need to be of a certain age, type or work at an Olympic medal level of performance to benefit from the application of massage therapy.
  2. Consequently in 2001 I studied as an Equine body worker with Equinenergy and gained my qualification as a Master in 2003. In 2004 I gained a diploma from Raworth International sports college in holistic massage to enable me to also support the rider by specialising in human massage.My first job was based as an instructor and groom and I later worked as a head groom at a dressage yard where i was fortunate to have the opportunity to train with Chief Rider of the Spanish Riding School Arthur Kottas on an Advanced Dressage horse. Further training in the art of Classical Dressage with Charles de Kunffytriggered my interest in the biomechanics and the structure of a horse. I have worked with horses all my life, originally as a hobby as a child and it eventually became my chosen career. As a child i had ponies and as a teenager worked and rode riding horses and race horses, i gained my BHS AI after leaving school.
  3. Massage has more benefits than just loosening tight muscles and providing a feeling of well-being for humans. Athletes and sports professionals supported by their coaches and physio's use massage as a tool to help them achieve their goals . This is recognised and considered valuable to apply to horses, all of the FEI equine disciplines have a therapist as part of the team effort supporting the performance horse. But your horse doesn't need to be of a certain age, type or work at an Olympic medal level of performance to benefit from the application of massage therapy.
