Equine Massage Therapy, Carole Ajinkya.
Talk & Demo.
Venue: Cledd-Y-Tan Farm, Chepstow, NP16 6DA
Carole Ajinkya is an Equine Therapy Practitioner. She will be giving a talk and demonstration of equine massage therapy. She has owned and competed horses for over 40 years including ex racehorses and trained with Equine Massage Therapy UK.
Carole will talk about the various muscles and the skeleton. She will bring some chalk or suitable paint so we can have a go at drawing them on a real horse!
Members can then try some of the massage techniques and stretches that they can use on their own horses.
There will be a quiz with prizes and a lucky dip for members to win a free massage treatment for their horse.
Free for members, £5 charge for non-members.

Past Monthly Meetings 2024
Wednesday 24th January, A Ride Around England, William Reddaway
Between 10th May and 8th December 2013, William and his horse, Strider, travelled 2,674 miles to Four Corners of England, visiting 30 cathedrals on the way with no backup vehicle or crew. He raised money for 3 charities. This should be an interesting talk and may inspire some of us to do more hacking - if not quite that far!
Wednesday 7th February, AGM
Wednesday 13th March, Henry Carter from Optimal Equestrian Performance
Henry gave us a talk (on Zoom) about rider fitness and explained the differing requirements over specific disciplines. We then went on to have an interactive session where he demonstrated some key exercises which are useful for all riders.
Friday 12th April, Centaur Biomechanics, Principles of Correct Polework Exercises
