Athletic Equine and Acupuncture Ltd

The idea to start a new practise which specialises in helping sports and recreation horses was born from 2 different factors.

The first and most powerful factor was that I have enjoyed a lifetime of caring for my own horses; experiencing all the joys that this recreational pastime can bring. I want to help others experience the same joy with a sound and happy equine friend.

Secondly, while working as an Equine Surgeon at Massey University, I experienced the character of some of the wonderful people in the Sports and Recreation realm when their horses were in real difficulty. These people had real affection and concern for a member of their family going through a life-threatening event. In some cases, I also saw the waste of a life that could have been helped if someone with the right level of knowledge and experience had been able to diagnose problems earlier.
