Equine Bodyworks
By Mary Sargeant MMCP
Whole Horse Bodywork & Equine Education
A horse-first approach to bodywork
Bodywork should never just be about what we want to achieve, it should also be about what the horse is telling us along the way.
My approach has developed over many years of working with horses and focuses on gentle hands-on bodywork, observation and allowing the horse to take an active part in the session.
Rather than working to a fixed routine, I pay attention to the individual horse in front of me, how they move, how they respond and when they may need me to change what I am doing.
The aim is simple, to create an environment where the horse can be listened to rather than worked on.
Alongside equine bodywork I also provide owner education, demonstrations, day courses, online learning and my Easy Equine Anatomy books and resources.
Welcome to Equine Bodyworks by Mary Sargeant MMCP.
My approach to bodywork has always been about looking at the whole horse rather than simply focusing on one area.
Every horse is an individual and every session is guided by the horse in front of me, paying attention to their behaviour, movement and responses along the way.
Listening to the horse is a huge part of how I work. Rather than following a fixed routine or deciding beforehand what a horse needs, I adapt what I am doing according to the information the horse gives me throughout the session.
Sometimes doing less tells us far more than doing more.
Alongside hands-on bodywork, education has become a big part of Equine Bodyworks.
Through courses, demonstrations, online learning, anatomy resources and my Easy Equine Anatomy books, I aim to make equine anatomy easier to understand and encourage owners to become curious about the whole horse — how everything connects and, most importantly, what their own horse may be telling them.
Contact & Appointments;
Booking a Bodywork Session
Appointments can fill up quickly, so advance booking is recommended where possible.
Before your horse's bodywork session, please download and complete the client information and consent form. If you have any questions before booking, you are always welcome to get in touch.
Bodywork is not a substitute for veterinary care and I do not diagnose veterinary conditions. If you have concerns about your horse's health, an injury or an unexplained change in their behaviour or movement, please contact your veterinary surgeon.
Courses & Demonstrations
I offer relaxed, practical demonstrations where I work with a horse while talking through what I am observing, what the horse may be communicating and why I might adapt what I am doing along the way. They are designed to be informative, accessible and usually involve a fair bit of humour too.
Demonstrations are available for yards, groups and equine organisations, with a minimum of 10 participants.
My one-day courses are designed for horse owners and equine professionals who would like to explore bodywork, observation and the whole horse in more detail. Courses usually run from 9am–4pm and include a study guide to take home.
Online Learning
If distance makes attending in person difficult, I also offer online learning and educational options. Please get in touch to find out what is currently available.
