Services and Treatment.



Our Services at Equestrian Performance are based on a holistic approach whereby horses and riders are able to gain maximal results from a variety of treatments on offer.  Equine Soft Tissue Therapy is offered for horses exhibiting muscle tightness, decreased performance or for a pre-competition​ performance enhancer.
