Books

Shiatsu for Your Horse Cathy has taken the ancient oriental treatment of Shiatsu and developed it into a modern form of massage that any horse lover can use to enhance the health and well being of their horse.

In the first part of the book the reader is shown how to perform a simple Shiatsu treatment. In part two cathy explains the philosophy behind Shiatsu in simple terms for the reader who would like a deeper understanding. Part three introduces the reader to The 'Five Elements' as a means of recognising the characteristic of a horse and gaining a better knowledge of its anatomy.

Educational Videos
Cathy has introduced three educational videos covering common behavioural problems, equine shiatsu and loading your horse.

Each video is designed to guide the viewer through the basics of some of the techniques Cathy uses, enabling the viewer to go and try these with their own horse.

Equine Shiatsu Bodywork includes a step by step guide showing how you can give a basic Shiatsu treatment to your horse with immediate effects!

Cathy takes the viewer through a treatment on a bargy horse and within 20 minutes he is all but asleep!

The step by step guide which follows, shows you how to do the same with your horse.

Ideal for calming and helping with many problems, Shiatsu is also excellent for helping aid recovery from injury.

Helping with Common Behavioural Problems takes the viewer through several techniques that can help with horses that are highly strung, will not stay tied up, are head shy, do not like their feet being picked up and more.

It is full of useful tips that everyone can use.

These unique educational videos are available direct from Cathy at just £20 each plus £2 p&p. They are also available from Wetherby Allens, BHS bookstores and Equestrian Vision, Tel: 01403 864173.
Testimonials
Behaviour video
"We watched your video last night and again this morning. When we went to bring our ponies in this evening we tried out your tips. I just wanted to say a big thank you because we've made progress in leaps and bounds this week-end mainly due your tips."
J. Brownlee
Equine Shiatsu Video
"Cathy demonstrates exactly how to use one's hands and body-weight to cover the whole horse, from the tops of the ears to the base of the tail. She explains that you do not need heavy pressure to get the best results and that you should find out what pressure is best for each individual horse. The process is logical and progressive and thus easy to remember. The horses certainly love it!"

Behaviour and Shiatsu Videos
"I found both videos very interesting, easy to follow and accessible for the ordinary horse owner. It seems that even without specialist knowledge you are in a position to help your horse and get a better understanding of what makes him 'tick'. Having seen both videos, but particularly the Shiatsu one, I came away keen to try out some of the techniques with my own horses."

New Video - Help Your Horse to Load
Cathy's new video Help Your Horse to Load is already proving very popular.

After the success of the first two videos Helping with Common Horse Problems and Equine Shiatsu Bodywork, Cathy has produced a third video called Help Your Horse to Load.

Bad loading is not just an issue for the owner. Indeed it is more intrinsically a large issue for the horse. In this video Cathy begins by showing you how teaching your horse to lead and overcoming some basic fear issues will lead to an easier and safer loading. She then shows you how to assess the trailer/lorry to make it as horse-friendly as possible. Once this is done Cathy then goes on to show you the steps to a successful loading.
