Hampshire Equine Touch

Hampshire Equine Touch

Welcome to Hampshire Equine Touch! My name is Julie, and I am a fully qualified Equine Touch practitioner based in North Hampshire. I cover all surrounding areas, offering holistic equine bodywork services designed to support your horse’s mental and physical well-being.

About Equine Touch

Equine Touch is a gentle, hands-on bodywork system that targets fascia—a connective tissue layer running throughout the horse’s body. Fascia lies beneath the skin and plays a crucial role in stabilizing, attaching, and separating muscles and other internal structures.

Common Symptoms We Can Address:

• Refusing fences or knocking poles
• Reluctance to stretch or collect
• Disuniting in canter or incorrect strike-off
• Stiffness on one rein
• Head tilt
• Poor transitions
• Contact issues
• Lack of fluency and working through the back

Benefits of Equine Touch:

• Improve suppleness, willingness, and balance
• Relieve tight muscles and improve symmetry
• Prepare for competition and quicken recovery
• Re-balance muscles after veterinary and dental treatments, hoof maintenance, and box rest
• Reduce stress and promote relaxation
• Prevent injuries
• Deepen the bond between horse and owner
• Address changes in behaviour or temperament
• Support when your horse just doesn’t seem right

Equine Touch is suitable for horses of any age, including happy hackers, companions, elderly, injured, and competition horses.
