But she works with any vet who refers to her or whom the client requests, in any area of the country. Liz regularly travels abroad to Europe and beyond.

Treatment protocols can be produced for poor performance, specific injury, musculoskeletal dysfunction and for post operative conditions.

THE CONSULTATION
Can be carried out at the veterinary surgery or at home, with or without the vet in attendance.

A full case history is taken then Liz likes to examine the horse at rest, walk, trot and canter. She also likes to see the horse ridden particularly where problems only manifest under training or competition conditions.
In order to comply with the Veterinary Exemptions Act and therefore treat legally, all horses are treated in conjunction with the vet. This ensures best practise.
