We offer the following suggestions as people we personally know who love horses and want to see people having even better relationships with them.

Nick Thompson MRCVS offers a professional holistic veterinary referral service for equines and small animals in homeopathy, acupuncture and nutritional medicine. He has helped us on many occasions and is highly recommended.

Lucinda McAlpine is one of the countries leading experts in the use of complimentary and alternative therapies for horses. Her system of stress-reduced horse management stems from her love and respect for the nobility and generosity of the horse.
