"Caroline Lindsay has done so much for Freyja and I, even after others advised me to sell her because she was so difficult to get started as a young horse"

"Major was rehabilitated by Caroline Lindsay when his gait was restricted after he had a hard fall on the hunting field. He is now living life to the full and loves a good gallop on the beach!"

ABOUT CAROLINE LINDSAY

Caroline Lindsay’s Qualifications
Caroline Lindsay invites enquiries from Universities and Colleges in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales requiring Freelance/Visiting Lecturing and Practical Sessions on Applied Clinical & Remedial Equine and Canine Exercise Prescription, Formulation of Treatment Goals and Manual Soft Tissue Mobilisation Therapies & Techniques as well as Student Mentoring.
Caroline also accepts requests from horse and dog owners for veterinary physiotherapy consultations, second opinions, gait analysis and performance enhancement programmes.
Recognising that owners of horses and dogs with both clinical and sub-clinical conditions required niche comfort products and professional advice, Caroline set up HappyTack.co.uk in 2007 - an online store which stocks only comfort, functional, well-being and therapy products for horses, dogs and horse riders.
Caroline Lindsay coaches Rebecca Sweetlove and Linby to develop his self carriage with progressive suppling over ground poles. Using poles rather than relying on the riders aids to produce bend, the horse is more relaxed, calm and focused and learns much sooner how to work over his back and through his topline muscles.
Caroline Lindsay demonstrates the veterinary physiotherapy techniques she used to rehabilitate a canine acute spinal injury in a labrador dog. Therapy techniques were electro therapy (pulsed magnetic field therapy, red photo therapy (LASER), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), remedial massage, myofascial release techniques, soft tissue manipulation and vertebral mobilisation. Progressive remedial exercise is also demonstrated.
