Testimonials
My horse, Gus, is an ex-racehorse. He stopped racing due to a nasty tendon injury, and so now is adjusting to flatwork and dressage. My friend and instructor put me in touch with Mo as Gus was finding it hard to bend to the right and being very resistant.
Mo asked some detailed questions on her first visit and was genuinely interested in both me and Gus. There were positive results after the first session, and these were even more obvious after the second, and then again after the third. Gus found it much easier to accept the bit and get the correct bend. Even out hacking his headshaking has reduced, and crucially, Mo has encouraged me and given me confidence.
After the first few sessions with Mo we entered a dressage competition and to my complete surprise Gus won the no canter test! The judge made some lovely comments about his paces being fluent and light. There is no doubt that Mo has helped Gus to relax physically and, very importantly, mentally. Her support and advice has helped me to better meet my horse’s needs. After a session, Gus is relaxed and happy, and so am I.
Gus adores Mo. He is always delighted to see her and relaxes and yields to the massage. If he could speak, I am sure he would say ‘thank you’.
I have come to realise that training my horse is a team effort, and Mo is one of the key members of that team. Thank you Mo from Gus and me.

...Maureen has a presence about her that is exceptionally calming... She is honest and firm but kind and most of all she understands and communicates with not only the horses but us humans too. She has helped me enormously in understanding my horse Molly.
...if there was something I did not understand or was struggling to do in my lessons, Maureen would come back with a different method to teach me in a way I could understand.
I've had lessons on and off all my life and have never been taught what Maureen teaches me now. She has put me in touch with my horse, feeling and sensing her...
This aside, not only is Maureen a brilliant teacher, she is an experienced masseuse for you and your horse and both Molly and I have had the pleasure of a massage too!
I have cried many times with hopelessness when I could see no light, Maureen gave me hope and understanding and she believed in me when I did not believe in myself, she is my 'Horsey 'Rock'.
My journey with Molly will continue and I'm lucky to have found Maureen, she is not only a brilliant teacher and has a true love of horses; she has also become a genuine friend not only to me, but to Molly too!

Mo's style of training has been perfect for me, patience and belief has allowed me to develop confidence in myself, and more importantly in my mare. I have also made use of Mo's massage skills, both on myself and my horse! For myself, simply to ease the ache after a competition, my shoulder and back suffer after a course of jumps. My horse, Solo, was recently diagnosed with a sore back, probably due to a slip in the field, Mo worked on her, and I was so impressed with the responsiveness of my horse during the session. With a combination of equine massage, chiropractic treatment and rehabilitation schooling, she is back to her lively self.
My daughter summed up Mo's approach when she said, " Mum....all the horses seem to really like Mo don't they?".

I have been a riding and carriage driving sports woman all my life. Sporting activity dictates that we must all strive to maintain movement of the body and a balanced mind, we will then feel healthier in ourselves to continue enjoying our sport successfully.
I've travelled the world, dropping off on long flights for a swim and a massage and have found that Maureen King is 'the tops'. Over the past years I have had sports massage treatment from Maureen who has helped immensely to keep my body moving and free from aches and pains. Maureen is great fun to be with and has a happy smile.Thank you Maureen,
