“Following a traumatic accident my horse fractured his spine. Initially Sam gave me practical advice to help keep him comfortable and reduce the amount of muscle wastage as he was to sore to be touched. When therapy and movement rehabilitation began a plan was developed and sam has been there to ensure the process worked. My horse is now back in full work, amazing!”
